Is Cl2 polar or nonpolar?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether chlorine gas (Cl2) is a polar or nonpolar molecule. To determine this, we need to consider the molecular structure and the electronegativity of chlorine atoms, as well as the symmetry of the molecule.
Answer
Nonpolar
Cl2 (Chlorine gas) is nonpolar.
Answer for screen readers
Cl2 (Chlorine gas) is nonpolar.
More Information
Chlorine gas consists of two chlorine atoms bonded covalently. Since both atoms have the same electronegativity, the electrons are shared equally, making Cl2 a nonpolar molecule.
