Chemsheets AS 1018. Bonds that are polar have a bond dipole moment – this is a measure of the strength and direction of the polarity in the bond. In simple terms, the bigger the difference in electronegativity, the bigger the bond dipole moment.
In this lesson we will learn (a) how the combination of bonded electrons and lone pairs of electrons result in different molecular shapes and (b) how unequal sharing of electrons within bonds along with the shape of a molecule result in polar and nonpolar molecules.
Draw Lewis structures, name shapes and indicate polar or non-polar for the following molecules: CH4. NCl3. CCl2F2. CF2H2. CH2O. CHN. PI3. N2O.
Explain the difference between a nonpolar covalent bond, a polar covalent bond, and an ionic bond. Answer nonpolar covalent: electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 (nonmetal+nonmetal close together on the periodic table)
determine the electronegativity difference to identify if the covalent bond is polar or nonpolar. Covalent Substance Ionic Electronegativity
The Bonding worksheets cover covalent, ionic and metallic bonding, available with three levels of support: scaffolded, partially scaffolded and unscaffolded. You will find model answers to all levels of these worksheets in the teacher guidance. The Bonding worksheets cover the following topics:
