Are these molecules polar or nonpolar?
The molecules are:
BF3*
CH2F2
CH2O
BaF2*
CS2*
SiH4*
Out of those, we're supposed to figure out the ones that are NONPOLAR. I thought the ones with the * were nonpolar (BF3, BaF2, CS2, and SiH4). However, it says these are wrong. Am I missing one? Is one that I marked nonpolar, actually polar? If you could explain, that would be great because I want to see where I made my mistake.
