Solution

Atoms and non-polar molecules are Electrically symmetrical.

  • In contrast to asymmetrical molecules, all symmetrical molecules are non-polar.
  • A molecule's two constituent atoms have almost identical electronegativities, causing the electronic cloud to be symmetrically dispersed among them. Thus known as electrically symmetrical.
  • When polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out, nonpolar molecules form when electrons are shared equally among the atoms of a diatomic molecule.
  • In nonpolar solvents, which are commonly organic solvents, typically dissolve efficiently.

Atoms and non-polar molecules are Electrically symmetrical.
