POLAR nonPOLAR
2 factors that determine the polarity of molecules
Electronegativity
Polar covalent bonds
Identify which of the following are polar or nonpolar molecules: 1. H 2 EN of H = 2.1 _____________________ 2. Cl 2 EN of Cl = 3.0 ____________________ 3. F 2 EN of F = 4.0 _____________________ 4. HI EN of H = 2.1 _______________________
Seatwork: POLAR or NONPOLAR
Answer key 1.CH4 EN of H = 2.1 EN of C = 2.5 ΔEN = 0.4 Non polar covalent 2.CF4 EN of C = 2.5 EN of F = 4.0 ΔEN = 1.5 Polar covalent 3. O2 EN of O = 3.4 ΔEN = 0.0 Non polar covalent bond 4. HBr EN of H= 2.1 EN of Br = 2.8 ΔEN = 0.7 Polar covalent bond
Molecular Geometry The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory or VSEPR theory
Molecular Shape
Guidelines to determine the VSEPR shape of a molecule:
CO2; wherein the electronegativity difference of C and O is 1.0 which makes the bond between them polar. However, carbon is placed in the middle of two oxygen atoms making the molecular structure linear. This equal distribution of polar bonds make the molecule non-polar.
Solubility, Miscibility, and Polarity General rule: “like dissolves like” or “like mixes with like. ”
