Correct answer: 4
-
A molecule is non-polar if its net dipole moment is zero.
-
Check each molecule:
- : heteronuclear diatomic molecule, so it is polar.
- : bent shape, dipoles do not cancel, so polar.
- : bent shape, so polar.
- : homonuclear diatomic molecule, so non-polar.
- : linear and symmetric, bond dipoles cancel, so non-polar.
- : tetrahedral and symmetric, so non-polar.
- : trigonal pyramidal, so polar.
- : heteronuclear diatomic molecule, so polar.
- : tetrahedral but unsymmetrical ( Cl and H), so polar.
- : trigonal planar and symmetric, bond dipoles cancel, so non-polar.
-
Therefore, the non-polar molecules are:
-
