  • IF ATOMS IN A MOLECULE HAVE LITTLE/ NO ELECTRONEGATIVITY DIFFERENCE WHAT TYPE OF MOLECULE IS IT?
    covalent
  • IF ATOMS IN A MOLECULE HAVE A LARGE ELECTRONEGATIVITY DIFFERENECE WHAT TYPE OF MOLECULE IS IT?
    ionic
  • WHAT ELECTRONEGATIVITY DIFFERENCE MEANS IONIC?
    over 1.7
  • WHAT ELECTRONEGATIVITY DIFFERENCE MEANS COVALENT?
    below 0.3
  • WHAT IS A POLAR BOND?
    covalent bond where there is a separation of charge due to elements in the bond having different electronegativities
  • WHAT TYPE OF MOLECULE CANNOT BE POLAR ONLY NON-POLAR?
    symmetric
  • WHAT DOES A SYMMETRIC MOLECULE HAVE?
    all identical bonds with no lone pairs
  • WHY ARE SYMMETRIC MOLECULES NON-POLAR?
    dipoles cancel out causing there to be no net dipole moment
