Polar definition
Electrons are shared unequally and favor one side over the other
Nonpolar
Electrons are shared equally, are placed equidistant from each point
H2O is polar due to _____
Lone electron pairs on the central atom that cause it to have a non-linear arrangement
Bond length of H2 molecule
74 picometers
Octet rule
atoms want a filled outer shell (s2, s2p6)
∆EN, what does it show
difference in electronegativities, tells polarity and type of bond
Polarity
Separation of electrical charge in a bond/molecule
Covalent bonds’ ∆EN value
∆EN < 1.5 (approximate)
Ionic bonds’ ∆EN value
∆EN > 1.5 (approximate)
As ∆EN gets higher, ionic character (tendency to transfer electrons) ____
increases
Non-polar bonds’ ∆EN values
∆EN = 0 (approximate value, can reach up to ∆EN = 0.4)
Polar bonds’ ∆EN values
∆EN ≠ 0
EN possible values
0-4
Hydrogen EN value
2.1
Second row EN values
1.0-4.0, increasing by 0.5
Dipole Moment
Vectors that have magnitude and direction that show the difference in EN values between two atoms
A dipole moment points to the atom with _______
greater EN value
Dipole moment 𝛿+
Less electronegative atom
Dipole moment 𝛿-
More electronegative atom
A symmetrical molecule is _______
non-polar
An asymmetrical molecule is _______
polar
For a molecule to be non-polar, dipole vectors should ________
cancel out
Coulombic attraction
Attraction between oppositely charged particles
What potential energy does a hydrogen bond have?
-7 x 10^-19 J
