Which statement best describes the polarity of SCL4F2? a. The molecule is always polar.
b. The molecule s always nonpolar.
c. Depending on the arrangement of outer atoms, this molecule could be polar or nonpolar.

The molecule SCl4F2 could be polar or nonpolar depending on the arrangement of outer atoms.

The molecule SCl4F2 could have different arrangements of outer atoms. That means that there are two possible arrangements of the molecule. Depending on which arrangement the outer Cl and F atoms have, the molecule cold be polar or nonpolar.

In the arrangement of SCl4F2  which could be polar is the one in which the dipoles in the molecule do not cancel out. In the other arrangement, the dipoles cancel out and the molecule is nonpolar.

Depending on the arrangement of outer atoms, this molecule could be polar or nonpolar.

Explanation:

Polarity is when the electric charge that is leading to a molecule is being separated.

The polarity of SCL4F2 can either be polar or non polar and this depends on the arrangement of outer atoms. It is the arrangements of these outer atoms that'll help in the determination of its polarity.
