Consider the molecule SiCl4. The electronegativity values for Si and Cl are 1.8 and 3.0, respectively. Based on these values and on consideration of molecular geometry: a. Determine if the Si-Cl bond is polar or nonpolar b. Determine if the SiCl4 molecule is polar or nonpolar. Explain why you chose your answers.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
