  • Understanding the Polarity of OCl2: Electronegativity and Molecular Geometry
    O has more electronegative than Cl. The bond pair of electrons lie closer to oxygen so that chlorine becomes slightly

    Negative and oxygen becomes equally positive which make OCl2 is a polar molecule.

    Also the geometry of OCl2 is bent or V - shaped with a bond angle less than 180 degree which creates a greater polarity in OCl2 molecule.
