Question

Which of the following molecules is considered non-polar? o ci H Вт CEC C1-C-C1 CI H BI 2 a. 1 only b. 2 only c. 3 only d. 1 and 2 e. 1 and 3 f. 2 and 3 g. All of the above

Answer 1

In compound 1 , cl and H are cis to each other which generate polarity in them , so it is polar .

In compound 2 , cl and Br are both opposite to each other which cancel polarity of each other , so it is non polar.

In compound 3 , same way oxygen cancel each other polarity , so it is also non polar.

So compound 2 and 3 are non polar.
