Talk:Polar bond

Polar bond vs. polar molecule[edit]

This very brief article contains information that can be misleading. Polar bonds between atoms do not necessarily make a molecule polar; for instance, CF4 has strongly polar bonds but is not a polar molecule.

Merge with "Chemical polarity"[edit]

Shouldn't this article be merged into Chemical polarity? That article already explains everything that has been discussed here, so if nobody objects, let us simply turn this into a redirect to it···Vanischenu^「m/_Talk」 17:29, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. However the example of CO₂ in this article should be included in the merged article before the discussion of BF₃ (now in Chemical polarity]], since CO₂ is simpler. Dirac66 (talk) 21:30, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Forbes72 (talk) 21:15, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
