Which of the following molecules is non-polar in nature?

Options

  1. APOCl 3
  2. BCH 2 O
  3. CSbCl 5
  4. DNO 2

Correct answer

C. SbCl 5

Step-by-step solution

All the given option have asymmetric structure except SbCl 5 , it has a symmetric structure (trigonal bipyramidal) with only 5 bond pairs and zero lone pair. So, it will have zero net dipole moment, i.e., it will be non-polar.
