The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of polar molecules from the given list, we will analyze each molecule based on its molecular geometry and the presence of polar bonds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Molecules:** The molecules given are: - SF₄ - PCl₅ - PCl₃F₂ - SF₆ - XeF₂ - NO₂⁺ - BF₂Cl - BF₃ - PF₃Cl₂ 2. **Analyze Each Molecule:** - **SF₄:** - Sulfur has 6 valence electrons, forms 4 bonds with fluorine, and has 1 lone pair. - Geometry: Seesaw (trigonal bipyramidal). - The dipole moments do not cancel out due to the lone pair, making SF₄ polar. - **PCl₅:** - Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons, forms 5 bonds with chlorine, and has no lone pairs. - Geometry: Trigonal bipyramidal. - The dipole moments cancel out, making PCl₅ non-polar. - **PCl₃F₂:** - Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons, forms 3 bonds with chlorine and 2 bonds with fluorine, and has no lone pairs. - Geometry: Trigonal bipyramidal. - The dipole moments do not cancel out due to the presence of more electronegative fluorine, making PCl₃F₂ polar. - **SF₆:** - Sulfur has 6 valence electrons, forms 6 bonds with fluorine, and has no lone pairs. - Geometry: Octahedral. - The dipole moments cancel out, making SF₆ non-polar. - **XeF₂:** - Xenon has 8 valence electrons, forms 2 bonds with fluorine, and has 3 lone pairs. - Geometry: Linear. - The dipole moments cancel out, making XeF₂ non-polar. - **NO₂⁺:** - Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, forms 2 bonds with oxygen, and has no lone pairs. - Geometry: Linear. - The dipole moments do not cancel out, making NO₂⁺ polar. - **BF₂Cl:** - Boron has 3 valence electrons, forms 2 bonds with fluorine and 1 bond with chlorine, and has no lone pairs. - Geometry: Trigonal planar. - The dipole moments do not cancel out, making BF₂Cl polar. - **BF₃:** - Boron has 3 valence electrons, forms 3 bonds with fluorine, and has no lone pairs. - Geometry: Trigonal planar. - The dipole moments cancel out, making BF₃ non-polar. - **PF₃Cl₂:** - Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons, forms 3 bonds with fluorine and 2 bonds with chlorine, and has no lone pairs. - Geometry: Trigonal bipyramidal. - The dipole moments do not cancel out, making PF₃Cl₂ polar. 3. **Count the Polar Molecules:** From the analysis: - Polar: SF₄, PCl₃F₂, NO₂⁺, BF₂Cl, PF₃Cl₂ - Non-polar: PCl₅, SF₆, XeF₂, BF₃ **Total Polar Molecules = 5** ### Final Answer: The total number of polar molecules is **5**.
