4.2 Electronegativity Flashcards
Name the chemist responsible for the model of determining electronegativity
Linus Pauling
The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared e- to itself
Electronegativity
If the different in electronegativity is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.5 the resulting bond is
Non polar covalent
If the difference in electronegativity = ?? The resulting compound is a perfect covalent
0
If the difference in electronegativity is greater than 0.5 and less than or equal to 1.6
The resulting bond is polar covalent
If the difference in electronegativity is greater than 1.6 and less than 2.0 what are the two options for the resulting bond?
If a metal is present = ionic
If not metal is present = polar covalent
If the difference in electronegativity is greater than or equal to 2.0 the resulting bond is
Ionic
H has an EN between which two 2nd pd elements and is identical to which element?
B-C
P
Metal and nonmetal Atoms form
Ionic bonds
An EN difference between 0 and 0.5 is a
Nonpolar covalent bond
Polar covalent bond has an EN difference of
Greater than 0.5 and less than 1.6
If the EN is between 1.6 and 2.0 is
Ionic metal present
Polar covalent if no metal present
An EN greater than 2.0 is
An ionic bond
