Polarity

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
