Question: is cclf3 polar or nonpolar?
Answer: CClF3 is polar because it is asymmetrical. Imagine the central carbon atom inside a tetrahedrom with the base of 3 flourines and the top of a chlorine. Since the flourines are more electronegative than the chlorine (F is higher in the VIIA column than Cl), they will get the bigger share of the electrons, and Cl less.
