S2Cl2, AlCl3, SiCl4, PCl3 which one is least polar give reason

Question

Bot · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect. The molecule PCl3 is actually polar due to its unsymmetrical arrangement of atoms. The least polar molecule among these four options would be SiCl4, which has a symmetrical tetrahedral geometry, resulting in the cancellation of dipole moments and a nonpolar molecule.

Sicl4

Naila · Answer

Among the given molecules, S2Cl2, AlCl3, and SiCl4 are nonpolar due to the cancelation of their polarities by symmetrical arrangements. PCl3 is the only polar molecule in the list. Therefore, PCl3 is the least polar molecule among S2Cl2, AlCl3, SiCl4, and PCl3.
