Polarity

Question 1

how does electronegativity influence polarity

Answer 1

atoms of different elements are more/less electronegative, resulting in an uneven distribution of charge known as polarity, more electronegative atoms mean the shared electrons are mostly around that atom

Question 2

how is partial negative charge represented

Answer 2

with the greek letter delta δ-

Question 3

how is partial positive charge represented

Answer 3

with the greek letter delta δ+

Question 4

electric dipole

Answer 4

the difference in the positive and negative charges in a polar molecule, which also have a permenant dipole

Question 5

how do you dtermine the polarity of a polyatomic molecule

Answer 5

the polarity of the covalent bonds and the shape

Question 6

what are the rules of polarity

Answer 6

symmetrical molecules are nonpolar, asymmetrical molecules are polar, nonpolar solutes dissolve nonpolar substance, polar solutess dissolve polar substances

Question 7

electron density

Answer 7

the measure of the probability of an electron being present within a particular location of an atom

Question 8

how to calculate polarity between different molecules

Answer 8

greater difference in electronegativity, greater polarity

Question 9

if there is a 0 electrongativity difference…

Answer 9

electrons are shared equally, nonpolar covalent bond

Question 10

if there is less than 1.7 difference in electrongativity difference…

Answer 10

electrons are attracted to more electronegative atom, polar covalent bond

Question 11

if there is more than 1.7 difference in electrongativity difference…

Answer 11

electrons are transfered to more electrongeative atom, ionic bond
