Q51 / 200 · NEET 2021 · Chemistry

Which of the following molecules is non-polar in nature?

  • A
    POCl3
  • B
    CH2O
  • Correct answer
    C
    SbCl5
  • D
    NO2

Solution

All the given option have asymmetric structure except SbCl5, it has a symmetric structure (trigonal bipyramidal) with only 5 bond pairs and zero lone pair. So, it will have zero net dipole moment, i.e., it will be non-polar.
