Select the WRONG statement about polar molecules. (a) Polar molecules have permanent dipole moment. (b) A molecule in which centre of mass of positive charges does not coincide with the centre of mass of negative charges is a polar molecule. (c) Polar molecules have symmetrical shape. (d) Polar molecules act as tiny electric dipoles.

Answer: (c). (a), (b), (d) are correct: centres of charge do not coincide, giving a permanent dipole moment, so the molecule acts as a tiny dipole. Polar molecules have asymmetric shape, so (c) is wrong. So the answer is (c).
