Polarity Practice

Front

Is this molecule polar or non-polar?

Back

Non-polar

Front

What geometry will this molecular structure have?: H₂S

Back

bent

Front

This is an example of a __________ bond.

Back

polar covalent

Front

If Carbon (C) bonds with Sulfur (S), a ____________ bond forms (check table S!)

Back

nonpolar covalent

Front

Will this molecule be polar or nonpolar? H₂S

Back

polar

Front

Define a polar molecule.

Back

A molecule with a net dipole moment due to the presence of polar bonds that do not cancel each other out.

Front

Define a non-polar molecule.

Back

A molecule that has no net dipole moment, often due to symmetrical charge distribution.

Front

What is a polar covalent bond?

Back

A type of bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, resulting in partial charges.

Front

What is a non-polar covalent bond?

Back

A bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms, resulting in no charge separation.

Front

What is the significance of molecular geometry in determining polarity?

Back

Molecular geometry affects the distribution of charge, influencing whether a molecule is polar or non-polar.
