Polarity Ch 6.2b
Diatomic compounds share electrons equally. Equal forces pulling on the shared electrons What happens when atoms do NOT share electrons equally? Unequal forces pulling on the shared electrons
Electronegativity = Atom’s attraction for electrons Larger value stronger attraction Electronegativity trends (attraction for electrons): Right side of periodic table: high Exception for noble gases (Group #8A) - none Left side of periodic table: low Top of a group: higher Bottom of a group: lower
Polar Covalent Bond : Determine by electronegativity Higher electronegativity partial negative charge Lower electronegativity partial positive charge.
Shared electrons in a hydrogen chloride molecule spend less time near the hydrogen atom than near the chlorine atom.
Non-polar covalent Electronegativity difference is <0.5 Polar covalent Electronegativity difference is >0.5 and <2.0 (Between ) Ionic bond Electronegativity difference is >2.0
