1. Polar and Nonpolar
Cl H
-Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to pull or attract electrons shared between two atoms
-An atom that strongly attracts the shared electrons is considered highly electronegative.

2. Polar and Nonpolar
-A dipole is a molecule with two poles. We can also call these molecules polar molecules.
-This kind of molecule has two partially charged ends (slightly positive and slightly negative).
-The partial charges are caused by a higher electronegative element pulling electrons towards itself

3. Polar and Nonpolar
-A nonpolar molecule is one that is usually symmetrical and has no partial charge.
-Nonpolar molecules involve an equal distribution of charge

4. Polar or Nonpolar?
1. Which of these molecules will be polar and which will be nonpolar? 2. For polar molecules, state which side is positive and which is negative.

5. 1. Which of these molecules will be polar and which will be nonpolar? 2. For polar molecules, state which side is positive and which is negative.
