SO3 is a covalent compound with no lone pairs on the central S atom. What's the structure of a molecule of SO3? Is an SO3 molecule polar or non-polar? Question 14 options:

A)

Trigonal planar, non-polar

B)

Trigonal pyramidal, polar

C)

Trigonal planar, polar

D)

Trigonal pyramidal, non-polar

A

Explanation:

it has non polar molecule, because it has the equal sharing of electrons, so equal repulsion from all sides. atoms are equally represented.

it takes on an electronical energy

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
