Is NO a polar molecule?

In: Science [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Electronegativity values are useful in determining if a bond is to be classified as nonpolar covalent, polar covalent or ionic.

The electronegativities of oxygen and nitrogen are respectively, 3.44 and 3.04 on Pauling scale, the electronegativity difference being, 0.4. The bond is considered to be non-polar covalent.

Why is a water molecule a polar molecule?
Different elements have different electro-negativities. Electro-negativity is the ability of an atom to withdraw 'electron density' towards itself, i.e. it makes electrons come closer to it. Fluorine...

Why is a polar molecule?
If you mean "Why is a molecule polarized" it would be because there is a more negative charge to one end of the molecule than the other.
