LAB THIS WEEK EXAM #4 THIS FRIDAY! TODAY’S TOPICS Molecular Shape (8.6) Molecular Polarity (8.7) November 30, 2009
Molecular Geometry = Electron Pair Geometry, ignoring lone pairs BF 3 and O 3
Molecular Geometry = Electron Pair Geometry, ignoring lone pairs
Lone pairs always go in equatorial sites Molecular Geometry = Electron Pair Geometry, ignoring lone pairs

Molecular Polarity Polarity = uneven distribution of charge Bond polarity = Electrons drawn closer to the more electronegative atom Molecular polarity = Molecule as a whole has a net separation of charge A polar molecule must have polar bonds A molecule is polar if the directions of the polar bonds don’t cancel/offset eachother Nonpolar Examples: CH 4, CO 2 Polar Examples: H 2 O, NH 3
