Question
### Electrostatic Potential of a Neutral Molecule

This image illustrates the electrostatic potential of a neutral molecule. The molecule is shaded in red or blue to indicate areas where the electrostatic potential at the molecule's surface is not zero. The color codes are as follows: red indicates a positive electrostatic potential, and blue indicates a negative potential, with gray representing a neutral potential.

### Diagram Details

**Electrostatic Potential Map:**

- The diagram features a molecule represented by two connected spheres.
- The spheres are shaded in neutral gray, suggesting a uniform electrostatic potential with no regions distinctly positive or negative.

**Possible Chemical Formulas:**

Below the diagram is a list of potential chemical formulas for the molecule. You are instructed to check all that apply:

- □ Br₂
- □ HF
- □ ICl
- □ C₂H₂
- □ H₂CO

The neutral shading suggests Br₂ might be the correct choice as diatomic molecules like Br₂ typically have uniform potentials.

### Instructions

Based on the neutral electrostatic potential indicated, deduce which chemical formula(s) correspond to the molecule.
