question 3 of 6
what is true about a molecule with a dipole?
○ it is a polar molecule.
○ it is a nonpolar molecule
○ it is formed by gaining and losing electrons.
A dipole is a separation of electrical charge leading to a molecule having a positive end and a negative end. Polar molecules have such a dipole moment due to an uneven distribution of electron density. Non - polar molecules have no net dipole moment. Molecules with dipoles are not formed by gaining and losing electrons (that's for ionic bonds), but rather by unequal sharing of electrons (covalent bonds with polarity).
