Which of the Following is Nonpolar

Question

Which of the following is nonpolar?
A) a positive ion
B) a negative ion
C) a neutral ion
D) a molecule with no partial charges

Accepted Answer

A molecule with no partial charges has an even distribution of electrons, resulting in a symmetrical shape, which makes it nonpolar. Oppositely charged ions and neutral ions have an uneven distribution of electrons, making them polar.
