5.3 Flashcards
polar bond
the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.
nonpolar bond
the electrons forming the bond are equally distributed.
water has what bonds
hydrogen bond- polar
bond dipole
difference in electronegativities between 2 atoms within a molecule
molecule dipole
difference in electronegativities between 2 atoms within a molecule
ΔEN
difference (change) in the electronegativity values of two atoms bonded together
intomolecular forces
forces of attraction between molecules; these are caused by electrostatic attractions and are weaker than bonds
hydorgen bond
the intermolecular force in which a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom is attracted to an unshared pair of electrons of an electronegative atom in a nearby molecule
London dispersion bond
the weakest bond that is the only one nonpolar molecules can have
