ANSWERS:
- CCl4 - Non polar - Atom closest to negative side : Cl
- I2 - Non polar - Atom closest to negative side : --
- NH2- - Polar - Atom closest to negative side : N
EXPLANATION:
CCl4:
C and Cl have electronegativity difference and hence, each bonds will have a dipole moment. But the shape of CCl4 is symmetric, hence all the dipole moment cancels each other.
So net dipole moment will be zero. So CCl4 is a non polar molecule.
The atom closest to negative side will be the most electronegative atom, which in this case is chlorine (Cl).
I2:
The electronegativity difference in I2 molecules is zero
Hence, I2 is a non polar molecule.
NH2- :
N and H atoms have electronegativity difference and hence, each N-H bonds will have a dipole moment. But the shape of NH2- is asymmetric, hence all the dipole moment will NOT cancels each other.
So there will be net dipole moment for NH2- molecule. So NH2- is a polar molecule.
The atom closest to negative side will be the most electronegative atom, which in this case is nitrogen (N).
