Question

select the true statement for a diatomic molecule. if the bond is polar, the molecule is polar. if the bond is polar, the molecule is non - polar. if the bond is non - polar, the molecule is polar

Explanation:

A diatomic molecule has only two atoms. If the bond between them is polar (due to a difference in electronegativity), the molecule will have a dipole moment (since there's no other bond to cancel it out), making the molecule polar. If the bond is non - polar (same atoms or equal sharing of electrons), the molecule has no dipole moment and is non - polar.

Answer:

If the bond is polar, the molecule is polar.
