VSEPR 2 (polar Vs. Nonpolar Bonds) Flashcards
(20 cards)
Covalent bonds are classified as being either polar or
Nonpolar
_ is a physical property of the compound
Polarity
Polarity is important because it determines other
Physical properties of the compound
Polarity determines (bp, mp)
Boiling point
Melting point
Polarity determines (s)
Solubility
Polarity determines _ interactions
Intermolecular
Atoms using _ equally share electrons between
Nonpolar bonds
Atoms using nonpolar bonds equally share electrons between them due to
Similar electronegativity values of the atoms in the molecule
Polar bonds have unequal
Sharing of electrons
Polar binds unequal sharing due to different
Electronegativity values of the atoms in the molecule
All _ bonds are polar bonds
Ionic
Polar covalent bonds, electrons are shared but can be found
More on one side
Electrons more on one side analogy
Sharing blanket, one person has 2/3 of blanket
In polar covalent bonds, side closer to bonded pair of electrons is
Slightly more negative
One side slightly more negative means
Other side slightly more positive
Small changes in charge of both sides is called
Dipole
Dipole definition
Small changes on charge of each side (one side slightly negative, other slightly positive)
Hydrogen side slightly more positive than chlorine side in a bind because
Hydrogen tends to give up an electron
Electronegativity values can be used to classify a bond as (pc,nc)
Polar covalent
Nonpolar covalent
Electronegativity values can be used to classify a bond as
Ionic
