2 Polar Molecules A polar molecule contains polar bonds. has a separation of positive and negative charge called a dipole indicated with + and -. has dipoles that do not cancel. + - H–Cl H — N — H dipole H dipoles do not cancel
3
3 Nonpolar Molecules A nonpolar molecule contains nonpolar bonds. Cl–Cl H–H or has a symmetrical arrangement of polar bonds. O=C=O Cl Cl–C–Cl Cl dipoles cancel
4
4 Determining Molecular Polarity STEP 1: Write the electron-dot formula. STEP 2: Determine the polarity of the bonds. STEP 3: Determine if dipoles cancel. Example: H 2 O.. H─O : H 2 O is polar │ H dipoles do not cancel

7 The electronegativity value indicates the attraction of an atom for shared electrons. increases from left to right going across a period on the periodic table. is high for the nonmetals with fluorine as the highest. is low for the metals. Electronegativity

8 Some Electronegativity Values for Group A Elements Copyright © 2005 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings Low values High values ` Electronegativity increases ` Electronegativity decreases

9 A nonpolar covalent bond occurs between nonmetals. is an equal or almost equal sharing of electrons. has almost no electronegativity difference (0.0 to 0.4). Examples: Electronegativity Atoms Difference Type of Bond N-N 3.0 - 3.0 = 0.0 Nonpolar covalent Cl-Br 3.0 - 2.8 = 0.2 Nonpolar covalent H-Si2.1 - 1.8 = 0.3 Nonpolar covalent Nonpolar Covalent Bonds
10
10 A polar covalent bond occurs between nonmetal atoms. is an unequal sharing of electrons. has a moderate electronegativity difference (0.5 to 1.7). Examples: Electronegativity Atoms DifferenceType of Bond O-Cl 3.5 - 3.0 = 0.5Polar covalent Cl-C 3.0 - 2.5 = 0.5Polar covalent O-S 3.5 - 2.5 = 1.0Polar covalent Polar Covalent Bonds

12 Ionic Bonds An ionic bond occurs between metal and nonmetal ions. is a result of electron transfer. has a large electronegativity difference (1.8 or more). Examples: Electronegativity Atoms Difference Type of Bond Cl-K 3.0 – 0.8 = 2.2 Ionic N-Na 3.0 – 0.9 = 2.1 Ionic S-Cs2.5 – 0.7= 1.8 Ionic

17 Other Interparticle Forces Network Solid – A solid in which the lattice sites are occupied by atoms that covalently bonded to each other. Dipole-Dipole Interaction – The attractive force that exists between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another. Hydrogen Bonding – The result of attractive dipolar forces between molecules in which hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to very electronegative elements (O, N, or F).
