Cards (8)

  • WHAT KIND OF PROPERTY IS POLARITY?
    bond property
  • WHAT IS POLARITY?
    unequal sharing of electrons between covalently bonded atoms
  • WHAT HAPPENS TO POLARITY BETWEEN TWO OF THE SAME ATOMS?
    electrons are shared equally as they have the same electronegativities
  • WHAT TYPE OF MOLECULE IS FORMED OF TWO OF THE SAME ATOMS?
    non-polar
  • WHAT HAPPENS TO POLARITY BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT ATOMS?
    electrons are not shared equally as they have different electronegativities
  • WHERE ARE ELECTRONS MOST ATTRACTED TO?
    most electronegative atoms (form slightly/ delta -)
  • WHAT TYPE OF MOLECULE IS FORMED BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT ATOMS?
    polar
  • WHAT DOES A GREATER ELECTRONEGATIVITY DIFFERENCE CAUSE?
    more polar bond
