How do we know if a molecule is polar or nonpolar?

If central atom surrounded symmetrically by identical atoms, the molecule is nonpolar. (The dipoles all cancel...)

300

What is the Lewis structure and formal charge of S in SF5-?

Formal charge of S = -1

300

In the equation ABnEn what do the variables represent?

A: Central atom

B: Bonding domains 

E: Nonbonding domains

n: how many there are

300

Which of the following are free radicals?

OH

CO2

O2-

H2O

400

Which of the following molecules has the highest ionization energy?

Na

Ne

Al

O

Ne: Neon is a noble gas in Group 18 and has the highest ionization energy of all the elements listed. This is because it has a full outer shell (octet), meaning its electrons are tightly bound to the nucleus, making it very difficult to remove an electron.
