- Statement i is incorrect because a molecule can contain only nonpolar bonds and still be polar if its shape causes an asymmetrical distribution of charge.- Statement ii is correct as it accurately describes a polar molecule.- Statement iii is correct because if the central atom has no lone pairs and all atoms bonded to it are identical, the molecule's symmetry ensures an even distribution of charge, making it nonpolar.
