Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 3.15 Polar bonds & polar molecules
Practise deciding whether molecules are polar by combining bond polarity, molecular shape, symmetry and experimental behaviour.
How this is tested
- predict molecular polarity from shape and symmetry in species
- distinguish polar bonds from a permanent molecular dipole when dipoles cancel
- use liquid-deflection or intermolecular-force evidence to identify polar and non-polar molecules
