VSEPR 4 Flashcards
A molecule can be nonpolar but _ at the same time
The bonds are polar
It is possible for individual bonds in a molecule to be polar while
Overall molecule is nonpolar
Some of the bonds in the molecule have slight _ (polar & nonpolar)
Dipoles
But overall the molecule itself distributes _ equally in space (polar & nonpolar)
The dipoles
On co2 _ have dipoles
Oxygen atoms (6 lone electrons)
The linear shape of co2 _ therefore it is nonpolar
Cancels out the oxygen dipole moment
Ionic bonds have _ transfer of electrons
Complete
Ionic bonds have full
Ionic charges
Polar bonds form between two different
Nonmetals
Polar bonds have unequal sharing of
Electrons
Polar bonds have partial
Ionic charges
Nonpolar bonds form between two
identical nonmetals
Nonpolar bonds have qualms sharing of
Electrons
Nonpolar bonds have no
Charge
