The question is asking whether the molecule hypobromous acid (HBrO) is polar or nonpolar. To determine this, we need to analyze its molecular structure and the distribution of charges within the molecule.
Answer
polar
The final answer is polar
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is polar
More Information
Hypobromous acid (HBrO) has a bent molecular structure, leading to a net dipole moment due to the electronegativity differences between the atoms.
