Unit 8, Lesson 2 Polarity
2
Dipoles and Polarity A dipole is a partial separation of charge that exists when one end of a molecule has a slight excess of positive charge and the other end has a slight excess of negative charge. A molecule that has a permanent dipole is said to be polar. A bond between two atoms with different electronegativities gives rise to a dipole.

Symmetry and Polarity In addition to having permanent dipoles, a molecule must be asymmetrical in order to be polar. E.g. H2O and CH3Cl are asymmetrical and thus polar. BeF2 and BH3 are symmetrical and thus nonpolar. 10 min
