Name: _Key_ Period: Date: Determi ing Molecular Polarity Molecules are either POLAR or NON-POLAR. This is determined by: © Ifall of the bonds are ionic > the compound is just “ionic” * Ifall of the bonds are non-polar covalent > then the molecule is non-polar © Ifone of the bonds is polar > then the molecule is polar * If there is more than one polar bond, then look at symmetry © Ifthe shape linear, tetrahedron, or trigonal planar and all the bonds are the same, then it had symmetry and is non-polar. © If the shape is a pyramid, linear, or bent, then the molecules in NOT symmetrical and is a polar molecule NPC = Non-Polar Covalent PC= Polar Covalent Fill in the following table: as Molecular Lewis Dot | Bond Type Symmetry ; Compound | ‘Diagram | (NPC/PC/ Shape (V/N) Polarity (P/NP) H.
