Hi everyone,


I wanted to know whether sulfur monochloride(S2Cl2) is polar or not...
I searched a lot but there is no information about the dipole moment of the S2Cl2

But while searching this I got the Ionization potential of the sulfur monochloride as 9.7 electron volts
Is that implies that S2Cl2 is polar

The compound sulfur dichloride (SCl2) is polar having ~0.4 debye as polarity...
Can this information help to find the polarity of the S2Cl2

I learned about Dipole and all in School. I really dont know how to find the polarity of a given compound please help me...

Waiting for your reply..

Thank You...

Hello Harsh,

The difference in electronegativity of connected atoms will define the nature of chemical bond.
Polar covalent bond occurs when electronegativity of adjacent atoms is higher than 0.4 (C-H). Since in cases of SCl2 and S2Cl2 this difference is 0.5, chemical bond can be considered as polar.

There is a lot of data available on the internet, by the way.
Best regards,
