Polar Bonds and Molecules Chapter 8.4
Learning Objectives Be able to use electronegativity to identify polar vs. non-polar covalent bond Draw correct dipoles on a covalent bond Draw correct net dipole on a molecular compound
– 1.7 to 4.0: Ionic Bond – 0.3 to 1.7: Polar Covalent Bond – 0.0 to 0.3: Non-Polar Covalent Bond If the difference in electronegativity is between

Net Dipole of Molecules Dipole – separation of charges within a molecule between two covalently bonded atoms. Net Dipole – When all the dipole vectors are summed to give one overall dipole.
Let’s Practice Get out your white boards … Show the polar bonds ( - and +) and then predict the net dipole moment of the molecule. You’ll need to use the electronegativity chart on page 177 of your textbook.
