Polarity

QuestionAnswer
What is Polarity? The tendency of a molecule, or compound, to be attracted or repelled by electrical charges because of an asymmetrical arrangement of atoms around the nucleus.
How do you determine the polarity of a molecule? First draw the Lewis Dot Structures. Then decide if the molecules are symmetric. A molecule is non-polar if the charge distribution is symmetric and it is polar if the charge distribution is not symmetric.
True or False: if a molecule has lone pairs it is polar. True
What is Electronegativity? The tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the electrons in a chemical bond
True or False: Electronegativity increases when reading left to right of a periodic table. True
True or False: Electronegativity increases when going down the periodic table. False
Which has a higher Electronegativity Carbon or Oxygen? Oxygen
What is Delta Negative? Delta Negative: the pull of the most electronegative atom.
What is Delta Positive? Delta Positive: the pull of the least electronegative atom
True or False: if a molecule is symmetric it is polar. False
Which molecule is more polar Br2 or HBr? HBr
Which molecule is more polar H2O or H2S? H2O
Which molecule is more polar CCl4 or PCl3? PCl3

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
