A. Classify the following molecules as polar or non-polar (write below the chemical formula in the first column. Explain your answer in terms of the (a) Lewis structure (b) molecular geometry and (c) bond polarity. (You can add rows if you need more spaces for your explanation.) Hint: Although I am not asking you to give the no. of bonding and non-bonding pairs, you have to do it to be able to identify the electron pair geometry and molecular geometry. Note: Items #1 to #4 are hypothetical molecules. The number of valence electron/s of the hypothetical atoms are given in parenthesis.) There is no need to give actual molecules to represent them. Polar or Non-polar Explanation 1. QR (Q=1, R=7)

The same student concluded by saying “Bond type can be calculated by subtracting the electronegativities of the elements involved in a chemical bond. Electronegativity differences below 1.7 are covalent bonds, and electronegativity differences 0.4 and below are non-polar covalent bonds and between 0.4 to 1.6 are considered by most to be polar covalent bonds.” Do you agree with this student? Justify your response.
