Chlorine has an electronegativity value of 3.0. Given the electronegativity of N, O, and P (3.0, 3.5, and 2.1, respectively), which of the following molecules has nonpolar bonds?a. NCl3b. Cl2Oc. PCl3d. All of thesee. None of these

a. NCl3

Explanation:

All the elements stated are non metals. Generally the bond between non metals is a covalent bond. However depending on how the electrons are shared, this bond can either be polar or non polar.

A non polar covalent bond is formed when the electrons are shared equally between the atoms.

A way to determine if a bond is non polar or polar covalent is by comparing the electronegativity values.

If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.5, it is regarded as a non polar covalent bond.

Going back to the question;

Between N and Cl; the electronegativity difference is 3.0 - 3.0 = 0

Between Cl and O; the electronegativity difference is 3.5 - 3.0 = 0.5

Between Cl and P; the electronegativity difference is 3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4

From these we can tell that the correct option is option A.

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
