Which formula represents a nonpolar molecule?
(1) h2s (3) ch4
(2) hcl (4) nh3

option 3, CH₄.

Explanation:

1) A molecule is polar if and only if at least one bond is polar and the polar bonds are not symmetrically distributed around the center of the molecule.

2) CH₄ has four C-H bonds symmetrically distributed arond the C atom, so it is not possible for it to be polar, which is what answers the question.

3) The bonds in H₂S are not symmetrical distributed around the S atom, because S has two additional pair of non-bonding electrons which bends the molecule, so it is polar.

4) HCl is polar since there is one only H-Cl bond which is polar because the difference in the electronegativities of the H and Cl.

5) NH₃ is polar because the N atom has an additional pair of non bonding electrons, which bends the molecule.

odds are decent that your handwriting right now looks a little bit different than it did five years ago, and will look different again in five more. when i look back through my notebooks from middle school to now, i see a long, slow progression from meticulous and teeny letters to bigger, sloppier ones, plus a few side detours: sometime in high school, for example, i decided those loopy cursive lowercase f’s were just the coolest, adopting them as the lone rep for cursive in my otherwise all-print handwriting.
