An SCl2 molecule has ______(polar or nonpolar) bonds and a _________(bent, linear, tetrahedral, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal) molecular shape. As a result, an SCl2 molecule is ______.(polar or nonpolar)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Polar , bent , polar

An SCl2 molecule has polar bonds and a bent molecular shape. As a result, an SCl2 molecule is polar.

Explanation:

  • The S-Cl bond in SCl2  is polar because the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is  greater than 0.5.
  • SCl2 has a ‘bent’ molecular geometry, this may be explained by the presence of  lone pairs of electrons.
  • Polarity of a molecule depends on the polarity of the bonds and the shape of  the molecule. Therefore since the molecule of SCl2 has polar bonds and its structure is bent, then it is a polar molecule.

Answer:

polar, bent polar
