Re: Chapter 4 [ENDORSED]
If the dipoles of a vsper model cancel out then the molecule would be non-polar. However if the dipoles don't cancel out then the molecule is polar. You can figure out the dipoles by looking at the electronegativity of each element.

Re: Chapter 4
Also polar bonds occur when there is a strong electronegative difference shared unbalanced between atoms
Re: Chapter 4
as long as they show a symmetrical geometry, and all bonds connect to the same element. it's non-polar

Re: Chapter 4
This has to do with cis and trans configuration. If the dipole bonds are on the same side of the molecule [cis], then its polar. If the bonds are on opposite sides of the molecule [trans] , it's nonpolar because they cancel!
