The diatomic molecules are linear molecules. Other examples of linear molecules include BeH2, CO2, and HCN.

HCN is a linear molecule.


Are linear molecules always nonpolar?

No, take for example hydrochloric acid (HCl). Because the two atoms are in a covalent bond and have different electronegativities, the chlorine atom is slightly negative and the hydrogen positive respectively. Therefore, one end of the linear molecule (because two atoms are always linear) is slightly negative, and the other is slightly positive, making it a polar molecule.
