  • Understanding Nonpolar Molecules: Formula & Examples
    A nonpolar molecule is a molecule in which the net electrical charge is zero. This means that the molecule has an equal number of positive and negative charges.

    The formula for a nonpolar molecule is:

    ```

    AXn

    ```

    where:

    * A is the symbol for the central atom

    * X is the symbol for the surrounding atoms

    * n is the number of surrounding atoms

    Some examples of nonpolar molecules include:

    * H2 (hydrogen gas)

    * O2 (oxygen gas)

    * CO2 (carbon dioxide)

    * CH4 (methane)

    * C6H6 (benzene)

    These molecules have an equal number of positive and negative charges, so they are nonpolar.
