Activity 1 Introduction
In this first activity we will investigate bond polarity, note that this may be different from the molecular polarity. We will explore why in a later exercise.
How to Complete Activity 1 Table 1
In order to determine bond polarity you will need to:
· look up the electronegativity of each atom in the bond
· subtract the smaller electronegativity from the larger one (if they are not equal) to determine the electronegativity difference
· use the electronegativity difference to determine the type of bond and its polarity:
· <0.5 electronegativity difference is a nonpolar covalent bond(approximately equal sharing of electrons)
· >0.5-1.9 is a polar covalent bond (unequal sharing of electrons)
· >1.9 is an ionic bond (the more electronegative atom takes the valence electrons from the less electronegative atom resulting in two charged ions attracted to one another by their opposing charge)
· Fill in the table below with the data you collect
