A certain covalent compound contains sulfur bonded to chlorine. Which of the following statements about this compound is correct?
Question 5 options:

A)

Electrons will reside closer to sulfur, and the bond will be non-polar.

B)

Electrons will reside closer to sulfur, and the bond will be polar.

C)

Electrons will reside closer to chlorine, and the bond will be polar.

D)

Electrons will reside closer to chlorine, and the bond will be non-polar.


Answer :

Answer:

C) Electrons will reside closer to chlorine, and the bond will be polar

Explanation:

Electrons tend to be closer or attracted to high electronegativity and sulfur has less electronegativity than chlorine. Therefore, electrons will reside closer to chlorine. To find out if it is polar or nonpolar, according to the electronegativity chart you can find online, you can see that the electronegativity of sulfur is 2.5 while the electronegativity of chlorine is 3.0. Because the difference between these two is a slight change, it would be slightly polar. So, the bond will be polar.

Answer:

Electrons will reside closer to chlorine, and the bond will be polar.
