Question

electrostatic potential map possible chemical formula (check all that apply) icl hcl hbr o2 if

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze polar - non - polar nature

The electrostatic potential map shows a non - polar molecule (symmetrical charge distribution). Non - polar molecules have equal or very similar electronegativities of the atoms involved.

Step2: Check electronegativities of each compound

• For ICl: Iodine (I) and chlorine (Cl) have different electronegativities, it is polar.
• For HCl: Hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl) have different electronegativities, it is polar.
• For HBr: Hydrogen (H) and bromine (Br) have different electronegativities, it is polar.
• For O₂: Two oxygen atoms have the same electronegativity, it is non - polar.
• For IF: Iodine (I) and fluorine (F) have different electronegativities, it is polar.

Answer:

O₂
