Is HNO3 polar or nonpolar?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether nitric acid (HNO3) is polar or nonpolar. This involves understanding the molecular structure and the distribution of electrical charge within the molecule.

Answer

HNO3 is polar

The final answer is HNO3 (Nitric Acid) is polar

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is HNO3 (Nitric Acid) is polar

More Information

HNO3 is polar because it is not a symmetrical molecule and has regions of partial positive and partial negative charge resulting from its molecular geometry.

Tips

A common mistake is to assume a molecule is nonpolar if it contains polar bonds. It's important to consider the overall geometry to determine if the molecular dipoles cancel out.
