Question
Chapter 1.12, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Among the given molecules, most polar and least polar molecules should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Polar covalent bond: A bond formed between two atoms that do not share the bonding electron equally.
Bond length:
Bond distance or bond length is the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.
It is a transferable property of a bond between atoms of fixed types.

Is furan polar? If yes, consider which side of the molecule has partial negative charge
and which - partial positive. Then, indicate the direction of the dipole moment
relative to the molecule as shown.
Non-polar, zero dipole moment.
Polar, the dipole vector points along one of the C-O bonds.
Polar, the dipole vector points along one of the C-H bonds.
Polar, the dipole vector points along the vertical axis.
Polar, the dipole vector points along the horizontal axis.
Decide whether each molecule or polyatomic ion
is polar or nonpolar.
If the molecule or polyatomic ion is polar, write
the chemical symbol of the atom closest to the
negative side. For example, if the molecule were
Ha and you decided the hydrogen atom was
closest to the negative side of the molecule,
you'd enter ":" in the last column of the table.
