1
New cards

Linear

2 atoms bonded to central atom, 0 lone pairs, nonpolar when symmetrical and polar when not

2
New cards

Trigonal planar

3 atoms bonded to central atom, 0 lone pairs, nonpolar when symmetrical and polar when not

3
New cards

Trigonal Pyramidal

3 atoms bonded to central atom, 1 lone pair, always polar

4
New cards

Bent

2 atoms bonded to central atom, 1-2 lone pairs, always polar

5
New cards

Tetrahedral

4 atoms bonded to central atom, 0 lone pairs, nonpolar when symmetrical and polar when not

6
New cards

These are always polar

Bent and trigonal pyramid

7
New cards

These are nonpolar when bonded atoms are symmetrical and polar when not

Linear, planar, tetrahedral

8
New cards

Name each of the IMFs corresponding to the bond type

Nonpolar molecules have dispersion (all do), polar have dipole-dipole, hydrogen when bonded with F O or N has hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds also have dipole dipole and dispersion

9
New cards

State the 3 electronegativity differences that determine polar/nonpolar/ionic

If difference is >1.7 then ionic, if 0-0.39 then nonpolar, if 0.4-1.7 then polar

10
New cards

IMFs from weakest to strongest

dispersion, dipole dipole, hydrogen bond
