Polyatomic ion: charged molecule NH 4

? full octets/duets? Polyatomic ions do not follow the rules for the normal number of covalent bonds to atoms (this is one reason they are charged!) NO 3
Lewis structures of polyatomic ions
HCl is a polar molecule because it can be separated into δ+ and δ- sides: Net dipole moment: one dipole arrow that represents the polarity of the entire molecule. It points from the δ+ side to the δ- side. cannot be separated into δ+ and δ- halves may have polar bonds that completely cancel each other
has no net dipole moment A nonpolar molecule: Is CH 3 Cl polar or nonpolar? Is CO 2 polar or nonpolar? (draw it with the correct shape) Polarity of molecules
Linear shape: 2 atoms attached to the central atom, no lone pairs on the central atom Bent shape: 2 atoms attached to the central atom, lone pairs on the central atom Trigonal planar shape: 3 atoms on central atom, no lone pairs on central atom Trigonal pyramidal shape: 3 atoms on central atom, lone pairs on central atom Tetrahedral shape: 4 atoms attached to central atom Shapes of molecules
Linear Bent Trigonal planar Trigonal pyramidal Tetrahedral If all bonds have equal polarity: If bonds have unequal polarities: Shapes and polarity
