Description : Ethylene is a molecule. (1) polar (2) ionic (3) covalent (4) nonpolar

Last Answer : (4) nonpolar Explanation: Ethylene (C2H4) is a nonpolar molecule. This is because, unlike a polar molecule, it has an even distribution of electrical charges. Since, the double bond is between two carbon ... in between those to carbon atoms. As a result, ethylene is a non-polar and linear molecule.
