Polar Covalent Bond
Unequal sharing of electrons due to electronegativity differences.
Nonpolar Covalent Bond
Equal sharing of electrons.
Why is water considered polar?
The bond between hydrogen and oxygen is polar because oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, creating partial negative and positive charges.
Lewis Electron Dot Diagrams
Representation of valence electrons to predict bonding behavior and visualize covalent bonding.
Octet Rule
Atoms tend to form bonds to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in the valence shell.
Properties of Ionic Compounds
Ionic compounds have high melting points, conduct electricity in solution, and typically form between metals and nonmetals.
Electronegativity and Polarity
A large difference in electronegativity results in a polar bond, while a small difference results in a nonpolar bond.
What is a covalent bond?
A covalent bond occurs when two atoms share electrons.
What is the significance of electronegativity in bonds?
Electronegativity determines how atoms interact in a bond; higher electronegativity means greater ability to attract electrons.
How do polar bonds affect molecule properties?
Polar bonds create molecules with partial charges, leading to unique properties like solubility in water.
What is an example of a polar molecule?
Water (H2O) is an example of a polar molecule due to its bent shape and polar O-H bonds.
What is the role of valence electrons in bonding?
Valence electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds and determine an atom's bonding capacity.
What are the characteristics of metallic bonds?
Metallic bonds allow electrons to move freely, resulting in properties like malleability and conductivity.
What is a Lewis structure?
A Lewis structure is a diagram that shows the bonding between atoms and the lone pairs of electrons.
What is a nonpolar molecule?
A nonpolar molecule has an even distribution of charge, resulting in no dipole moment.
How do ionic bonds form?
Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating charged ions.
What does the octet rule state?
The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.
