Which accurately describes a molecule with all polar bonds?
A) It is always a polar molecule.
B) It is never a polar molecule.
C) It may be a polar molecule.
D) It may be an ionic molecule.
E) It cannot be a nonpolar molecule.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A molecule with all polar bonds may or may not be a polar molecule depending on the molecular geometry and symmetry of the molecule. If the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically and cancel out their dipole moments, then the molecule will be nonpolar. However, if the polar bonds are arranged asymmetrically, the molecule will be polar.
