Hi everyone here we have a question asking us to predict if iodine mono chloride is polar or non polar. So let's make a chart here to remember what is polar and what is non polar. So we have our difference in electro negativity and our bond classification. So if the difference in electron activity is zero it is pure covalin. If the difference in electro negativity is 0. two, it is non polar covalin. If it is 0.4 To 1. it is polar co Vaillant And if it is greater than 1.7 it is ionic. So we have iodine With an electro negativity of 2.5 And then we have chlorine with an electro negativity of 3.0. So our difference in electro negativity Equals 3.0 -2. And that equals 0.5 which makes this polar co violent. And that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
