New cards

what is electronegativity?

a measure of attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond

2
New cards

what are the trends for electronegativity?

increases across a period decreases down a group with F as the most

3
New cards

what is bond polarity?

bonds are polar if the difference is more than 0.4 and greater difference means more polar

4
New cards

what makes a molecule polar?

the shape and bond polarity

5
New cards

when do you get non-polar bonds?

if the polar bonds/ dipoles are in the opposite directions as they cancel out

6
New cards

what happens if the polar bonds point roughly in the same place?

there is an overall dipole and the bond is polar
