Is ASH3 polar?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether the molecule ASH3 (which is likely a typo for ASH3, referring to Arsenic trihydride) is polar or not. To determine this, we need to consider the molecular geometry and the electronegativity difference between arsenic and hydrogen.
Answer
AsH3 is polar.
The final answer is AsH3 is polar.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is AsH3 is polar.
More Information
AsH3 is polar due to the trigonal pyramidal shape caused by the lone pair on arsenic, leading to an asymmetrical distribution of charge.
Tips
Be careful not to confuse molecule geometry with symmetry alone; the presence of lone pairs significantly affects polarity.
