Question

Part A PCl3Br2 is a nonpolar molecule. Based on this information, determine the Cl-P-Cl bond angle, the Br-P-Br bond angle, and the Cl-P-Br bond angle. Part B Which statement best describes the polarity of CF2Br2? The molecule is always polar. The molecule is always nonpolar. Depending on the arrangement of outer atoms, this molecule could be polar or nonpolar Part C Which statement best describes the polarity of SF4Br2? The molecule is always polar. The molecule is always nonpolar. Depending on the arrangement of outer atoms, this molecule could be polar or nonpolar

Explanation / Answer

Part A)

Cl-P-Cl bond angle = 120 degree

Br-P-Br bond angle = 180 degree

Cl-P-Br bond angle = 90 degree

Part B)

The molecule CF2Br2 is always Polar

Part C)

SF4Br2, depending on the arrangements of the outer atoms, this molecule could be polar or non polar
