Cornell Notes Topic: Sect. 8.5: Electronegativity and Polarity Date: 2/14/2012 (Answer the 11 questions from on the following slides in your notebook. Use Section 8.5 of the textbook.)
Section 8.5 – Electronegativity and Polarity Guided Reading Questions pg 265 What is electron affinity? What type of atom will have the highest electron affinity? What is electronegativity? Use Figure 8.20: Which atom is the most electronegative? Which atom is the least electronegative?
Section 8.5 – Electronegativity and Polarity pg 266 How can the character of any bond be determined (ie. How can you tell if a bond is ionic or covalent based upon electronegativity)? What is a polar covalent bond? When does it occur? Use Figure 8.21: What percent ionic character does HCl have vs. CaO? What is the only non-polar covalent bond in this graph?
Section 8.5 – Electronegativity and Polarity pg 267 What happens to a shared electron pair when a covalent bond forms? (Molecular polarity section) What two types of covalent bonds are there? Which type of covalent bond is attracted to an electric field? Why? Compare and Contrast H2O and CCl4; which molecule is polar, which is non-polar and why? pg 268: What are intermolecular forces? Are they weaker or stronger than bonds?
