Ch. 2 Polar Covalent Binds And Acids and Bases Flashcards
These electrons are bonded and attracted more strongly by one atom than the other.
Polar covalent bond
Electron distribution between atoms is not symmetrical.
Polar covalent bonds
Intrisitic ability of an atom.yo attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond
Electronegativity
Electronegativity across the periodic table increases how?
From left to right and bottom to top with upper right being the highest
Halogens attract electrons…
strongly
Metals on the left side of the table attract electrons…
weakly
Non-polar covalent bond have atoms with ___ EN.
Similar
Polar covalent bonds have atoms with EN ____ than 2.
less than
Ionic bonds have atoms with EN ___ than 2
greater
This is the shifting of electrons in a bond in response to EN of nearby atoms.
Inductive effect
What color are electron rich areas on an electrostatic potential map?
red
What color are electron poor areas on an electrostatic potential map?
blue
The arrows in an electrostatic map indicate what?
Direction of bond polarity.
This is a net molecular polarity, due to difference in summed charges.
Dipole moment
What is the symbol for a dipole moment.
mu
If a molecule has no center of symmetry and the dipoles do not cancel then there is____
A dipole moment
If a molecule has a center of symmetry then the dipoles cancel each other out then ___
There is no dipole moment
If bond dipoles do not cancel each other out then a molecule will have a ___ ____.
dipole moment.
