Difference (from revision 4 to current revision) (minor diff)
(The revisions are identical or unavailable.)
1a. polar (arrow above O)
1b. polar (arrow above Cl) (actually ionic, though)
1c. polar (arrow above N)
1d. polar (arrow above Cl)
1e. non-polar
1f. ionic

2)

2)

3) Arrow over the more electronegative atom (or whatever way you memorize the symbol).

4) Ionic ΔEN> or = 1.7
polar bond is 1.7<ΔEN> or = 0.8
non-polar ΔEN<0.8


5) Assume polar prove non-polar

6) Bent

7a. Substance with only 2 atoms
7b. Substance with 3 atoms where central atoms has no lone pairs (LP)

8) Polar means valence electrons are unevenly distributed throughout the bond or molecule (making 2 different regions, region with alot of electron, partially negative area, and region of few valence electron, partially positive area). Non-polar means there are no regions of alot or few valence electrons. Electrons are evenly distributed throughout the bond or molecule.

9) Ionic compounds can not be polar or non-polar since atoms in ionic compounds are now ions (anion took valence electron from other atom, and cation released electroctrons).

10) Pyramidal geometry is NOT symmetrical.
