Q:
A) nonpolar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge | B) polar, with an asymmetrical distribution of charge |
C) nonpolar, with an asymmetrical distribution of charge | D) polar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge |
Answer: A) nonpolar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge
Explanation:
Explanation:
CF4 is tetrahedral.
Since the four 'F' atoms have the same electronegativity values, there is no bias in electron distribution toward any one.
Therefore, electron/charge distribution is symmetrical, which also means that the molecule is nonpolar.
Hence, CF4 is nonpolar molecule with a symmetrical distribution of charge.
