Snow covers approximately 23 percent of Earth’s surface. Each individual snowflake is formed from as many as 100 snow crystals. The polar bonds in water molecules influence the distinctive geometry of snowflakes.

3. Polar versus Nonpolar Bond
Define nonpolar covalent bond
Define polar covalent bond
Explain the relationship between electronegativity and polarity.

4. 8.4
Bond Polarity
The bonding pairs of electrons in covalent bonds are pulled by (attracted to) the nuclei of the atoms that are bonded together.
The nuclei of atoms pull on the shared electrons, much as the knot in the rope is pulled toward opposing sides in a tug-of-war.

5. #1: Define nonpolar covalent bond

Bond Polarity
#1: Define nonpolar covalent bond
When the two atoms in a bond pull equally on the electrons, the bonding electrons are shared equally, and the bond is a nonpolar covalent bond.
If the two atoms are the same element, they share a nonpolar covalent bond, as in Cl2

6. The molecule as a whole has no charge (neutral).
8.4
Bond Polarity
A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared unequally.
The more electronegative atom attracts electrons more strongly and gains a slightly negative charge. The less electronegative atom has a slightly positive charge.
The molecule as a whole has no charge (neutral).

Bond Polarity
Example of polar covalent bond:
The chlorine atom attracts the electron cloud more than the hydrogen atom.
This electron-cloud picture of hydrogen chloride shows that the chlorine atom attracts the electron cloud more than the hydrogen atom does. Inferring Which atom is more electronegative, a chlorine atom or a hydrogen atom?

#3: Explain the relationship between electronegativity and polarity.
The difference in electronegativity values between two atoms that are bonded together allows us to determine the polarity of the bond.

Polar Molecules
What happens to polar molecules between a pair of oppositely charged metal plates?

12. A molecule that has two poles is called a dipolar molecule, or dipole.
8.4
Polar Molecules
In a polar molecule, one end of the molecule is slightly negative and the other end is slightly positive.
A molecule that has two poles is called a dipolar molecule, or dipole.

13. 8.4
Polar Molecules
When polar molecules are placed between oppositely charged plates, they tend to become oriented with respect to the positive and negative plates.

14. A hydrogen chloride molecule is a dipole.
8.4
Polar Molecules
A hydrogen chloride molecule is a dipole.
When polar molecules, such as HCl, are placed in an electric field, the slightly negative ends of the molecules become oriented toward the positively charged plate and the slightly positive ends of the molecules become oriented toward the negatively charged plate. Predicting What would happen if, instead, carbon dioxide molecules were placed between the plates? Why?

How do intermolecular attractions compare with ionic and covalent bonds?

Attractions Between Molecules
Intermolecular attractions are weaker than either ionic or covalent bonds.
These attractions are responsible for determining whether a molecular compound is a gas, a liquid, or a solid at a given temperature.

Van der Waals Forces
The two weakest attractions between molecules are collectively called van der Waals forces, named after the Dutch chemist Johannes van der Waals (1837–1923).

Attractions Between Molecules
Dipole interactions occur when polar molecules are attracted to one another.
Polar molecules are attracted to one another by dipole interactions, a type of van der Waals force.

Attractions Between Molecules
Hydrogen Bonds
Hydrogen bonds are attractive forces in which a hydrogen covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom is also weakly bonded to an unshared electron pair of another electronegative atom.

Hydrogen Bonding in Water
The strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules accounts for many properties of water, such as the fact that water is a liquid rather than a gas at room temperature.

21. Attractions Between Molecules

Attractions Between Molecules
The relatively strong attractive forces between water molecules cause the water to form small drops on a waxy surface.
The strong attractions between water molecules cause the water to pull together into small drops rather than spread over the surface of the flower.
