To determine whether the given molecules are polar or non-polar, we need to analyze the molecular geometry and the electronegativity differences between the atoms in each molecule. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Analyze HF - **Electronegativity Difference**: Fluorine (F) is more electronegative than hydrogen (H). - **Molecular Geometry**: HF is a diatomic molecule with a linear structure. - **Dipole Moment**: The dipole moment is directed towards fluorine. - **Conclusion**: Since the dipole moment is not equal to zero, HF is **polar**. ...
