Is PO43 − polar or nonpolar?
Why do drops of water stick together?
Since water forms a concave up meniscus, the adhesion of the molecules to the glass is stronger than the cohesion among the molecules. However, in the absence of the adhesive force (when water reaches the tip of the glass), the cohesive force remains present.

What is the strongest intermolecular force in SCO?
This means we have a tetrahedral structure. That is symmetrical; therefore, the PO4-3 is not polar. It is non polar because of the symmetry in its geometry. The phosphate ion is non-polar due to its symmetry.
