How to check the given molecules are polar or non polar :

If the electronegativity of the two bonded atoms are different then the bond is polar. Although, some molecules contain polar bonds, the molecule may be non-polar. If the polarity of all the bonds present in the molecule are cancel each other then molecule is non-polar.

 

In the given options,

SO2  is polar because the dipole moments on the O do not cancel.

PCl3  is polar because the P-Cl bonds do not cancel out.

CH2Cl2  polar because the C-Cl bonds do not cancel.

 

Hence, in brief, Polar molecules are molecules with net dipole due to the presence of partial positive and partial negative charge.

For example, water is a polar molecule that has partial positive and partial negative charge on it. CO2 is a non polar compound.

 

Therefore, all the given options SO2, CH2Cl2 and PCl3 are Polar molecules.

Q:

A gas absorbs a photon of 355 nm and emits at two wavelengths. If one of the emissions is at 680 nm, the other is at :

A) 518 nm B) 1035 nm
C) 325 nm D) 743 nm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 743 nm

Explanation:

1λ=1λ1+1λ2

1355=1680+1λ2

1λ2=680-355680×355

λ2=743nm.

Q:

In a face centred cubic lattice, atom A occupies the corner positions and atom B occupies the face centre positions. If one atom of B is missing from one of the face centred points, the formula of the compound is

1) A2B5

2) A3B2

3) A2B3

4) A3B4

A) Option 1 B) Option 2
C) Option 3 D) Option 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Option 1

Explanation:

 ZA  = 88  ; ZB = 52

So formula of compound is AB52 

i.e., A2B5.
