2. compare ch3cl and ccl4. explain why one is polar and one is nonpolar. be sure to use
the term symmetry in your explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

CH3Cl is polar while CCl4 is non polar.

When we consider whether something is polar or not we have to consider the following:

-Molecular symmetry

-Polar bonds (based on Electronegativity)

-Whether or not all the bonds are equal in magnitude

So for CCl4:

-All of the bonds are equal, in that all the electronegativity differences (delta EN) are the same.

-There are polar bonds as the delta EN between Cl (EN = 3.0) and C (EN=2.5) is 0.5 which means the bond is polar covalent

But when we look at the symmetry of the molecule (by drawing the lewis structure) there are no lone pairs, meaning that the molecule is symmetrical and therefore, it is non polar.

For CH3Cl:

-There are polar bonds here whether between C-H or C-Cl like above, both delta EN are greater than or equal to 0.5

-But, all of the bonds are not equal in strength. Cl (3.0) atoms have much higher electronegativity values than H (2.1) and there for they will "pull" the electrons closer and polarize the molecule. Therefore, the differences in bonds causes this molecule to be asymmetrical, and hence polar.

according to the triangle sum theorem, all the angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. if we know one angle is already 90, we do 180-90=90. the other 2 angles must add up to 90, exactly.

step-by-step explanation:

all the angles opposite to the angle 150 would be 150 and all the angles that are next to 150 are 30 because they equal 180 it you add it up.
