Molecular Geometry Molecular Geometry Molecular Geometry Molecular Geometry POLARITY OF MOLECULES the polarity of a molecule is the vector sum of the bond polarities of the molecule the bond polarities will either cancel or not SAMPLE PROBLEM 10.9 PROBLEM: Predicting the Polarity of Molecules From electronegativity (EN) values (button) and their periodic trends, predict whether each of the following molecules is polar and show the direction of bond dipoles and the overall molecular dipole when applicable: (a) Ammonia, NH3 (b) Boron trifluoride, BF3 (c) Carbonyl sulfide, COS (atom sequence SCO) PLAN: Draw the shape, find the EN values and combine the concepts to determine the polarity. SOLUTION: (a) NH3 The dipoles reinforce each other, so the overall molecule is definitely polar. ENN = 3.0 H ENH = 2.1 N H H H N H H bond dipoles H N H H molecular dipole SAMPLE PROBLEM 10.10 Predicting the Polarity of Molecules continued (b) BF3 has 24 valence e- and all electrons around the B will be involved in bonds. The shape is AX3, trigonal planar. F B F F 1200 F (EN 4.0) is more electronegative than B (EN 2.0) and all of the dipoles will be directed from B to F. Because all are at the same angle and of the same magnitude, the molecule is nonpolar. (c) COS is linear. C and S have the same EN (2.0) but the C=O bond is quite polar(DEN) so the molecule is polar overall.
