Molecule Polarity
|
|
About
Topics
- Polarity
- Electronegativity
Description
When is a molecule polar? Change the electronegativity of atoms in a molecule to see how it affects polarity. See how the molecule behaves in an electric field. Change the bond angle to see how shape affects polarity. See how it works for real molecules in 3D.
Sample Learning Goals
- predict bond polarity using electronegativity values
- indicate polarity with a polar arrow or partial charges
- rank bonds in order of polarity
- predict molecular polarity using bond polarity and molecular shape
