Polarity and IMF Flashcards
The distribution of electrical charge around atoms, chemical groups, or molecules
Polarity
Ways to Determine Polarity of Molecules
- Electronegativity Difference
- Molecular Shape
Group of Atoms bonded together
Molecules
Ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond?
Electronegativity
Types of Covalent Bonds
Polar and Non-Polar
If Electronegativity is below 0.4, what is the bond?
Nonpolar Covalent
Types of Bonds
Covalent and Ionic
If Electronegativity is 0.4 to 1.69, what is the bond?
Polar Covalent
If Electronegativity is above 1.69, what is the bond?
Ionic
Electronegativity Difference Formula
EN = I Ea - Eb I
Bonds that share electrons
Covalent
Bonds that bonded despite having different electronegativities
Ionic
Which Covalent bond is more stable?
Non-Polar
