Question
Which of the molecules in Exercise 109 have net dipole moments (are polar)?
Step 1
H2O: Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the O-H bonds are polar. The bent shape of the molecule also means that the bond dipoles do not cancel each other out, resulting in a net dipole moment. So, H2O is polar. Show more…
