question 7 1 pts when all dipole vectors are added and cancel out, the compound is a salt. non - polar. a polymer. polar.
A non - polar compound has no net dipole moment. When dipole vectors (which represent the separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule) cancel each other out (due to symmetry in the molecule, for example, in \(CO_2\) where the two \(C = O\) bond dipoles are in opposite directions and of equal magnitude), the overall dipole moment of the molecule is zero, making it non - polar. A salt is an ionic compound (formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms, not related to dipole cancellation in the covalent sense here). A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeating subunits (not directly related to dipole cancellation for polarity). A polar compound has a net dipole moment (dipole vectors do not cancel out).
