Ammonia is a substance used in creating fertilizers to use on farms. Draw the Lewis structure for ammonia (NH3).
Hydrogen bonding occurs between molecules with bonds between Hydrogen and what three other atoms?
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine (NOF)
The molecule NH3
Polar!
What is the molecular geometry of SO3. Draw the Lewis dot structure to help you!
trigonal planar (3 atoms, 0 lone pairs)

metallic
Phosphate is a polyatomic ion present in bones, genes, teeth. Draw the Lewis structure for phosphate (PO43-).
London Dispersion forces come from the random motion of...
electrons
The molecule CO2
Non-polar.
Why do we say that the polarity of a tetrahedral molecule "depends"?
The polarity depends on what surrounds the central atom.
If all of the surroundings atoms are the same, the dipoles cancel, and the molecule is nonpolar (symmetrical).
If the surrounding atoms are different, the dipoles do NOT cancel, and the molecule is polar (asymmetrical).
