Question

a lewis structure for the molecule benzene c₆h₆ is shown. based on this structure, determine if the molecule is polar or nonpolar.

Explanation:

Polarity of a molecule depends on the symmetry and electronegativity differences. Benzene has a symmetrical hexagonal structure. The carbon - hydrogen bonds have small electronegativity differences. Due to the symmetry, the bond dipoles cancel out.

Answer:

A. Nonpolar
