VSEPR 3 Flashcards
HCL means
Hydrogen chloride
Dipole moment of molecule indicated by
Arrow with a cross at one end
Verticals bar at left end shows the atoms that is
Donating the electron
Because no arrowhead is in opposite direction, HCL is considered to be a _ molecule
Polar
Arrow also points to more _ atom
Electronegative
Arrow pointing to more electronegative atom indicates where
Electrons are most likely to be found
Diatomic molecules have no difference in
Electronegativity
_ are Nonpolar
Diatomic molecules
Atoms don’t need to be _ for bind to be labeled nonpolar
The same
Carbon’s electronegativity is
2.5
Hydrogen electronegativity is
2.1
2.5 - 2.1 =
0.4
Nonpolar covalent bonds form between atoms with an electronegativity difference between _ and _
0
0.4
Polar covalent bonds form between atoms with electronegativity difference of (range)
0.5
1.7
Molecular polarity depends on the _ and how the electron pairs occupy space
Shape of the molecule
