What is electronegativity and how does electronegativity difference impact polarity?
What is electronegativity and how does electronegativity difference impact polarity?
The relative ability of an atom to draw electrons in a bond toward itself. The greater the electronegativity difference, the greater the polarity of the molecule.

Study Notes
General Chemistry Study Notes
- Topic Overview: Good study habits and positive thinking are crucial for success. Avoid negativity.
Polarity of Molecules
-
Polarity: Unequal sharing of electrons between atoms in a molecule due to electronegativity differences creates partial positive and negative charges.
-
Polar Molecule: Molecules with uneven electron distribution. Asymmetrical distribution of electrons leads to partial charges. This arises from differences in electronegativity between the atoms and the molecule's geometry.
-
Nonpolar Molecule: Equal sharing of electrons among atoms, no partial charges, symmetrical electron distribution.
-
Electro-negativity: An atom's ability to attract bonding electrons. Higher difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms, greater polarity
-
Molecular Geometry: The arrangement of atoms in a molecule affects polarity. Linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, bent.
Intermolecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces (IMFs): Attractive forces between molecules. Weaker than intramolecular forces (bonds). Influence physical properties like boiling and melting points, viscosity, and solubility.
Types of Intermolecular Forces
-
London Dispersion Forces (LDF): Weakest IMF, present in all molecules, temporary dipoles due to electron movement. Strength increases with more electrons.
-
Dipole-dipole Forces: Polar molecules have partial charges and attract one another. Positive end of one to negative end of another. Strength increases with greater polarity.
-
Hydrogen Bonds: Strongest IMF, a special type of dipole-dipole force, occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (F, O, or N). Highly polar.
Properties of Liquids
-
Viscosity: Resistance of a liquid to flow, related to IMFs. Higher IMFs, higher viscosity. Affected by temperature, Viscosity decreases with increasing temperature.
-
Surface tension: Tendency of liquids to minimize surface area. Inward force from stronger IMF in interior molecules causing surface molecules to pack closely
-
Capillarity: Spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube, due to cohesive and adhesive forces.
Phase Change
-
Endothermic: Process that absorbs heat from the surroundings.
-
Exothermic: Process that releases heat to the surroundings.
-
Evaporation/Vaporization: Liquid to gas. Kinetic energy overcomes attraction.
-
Condensation: Gas to liquid. Decreased kinetic energy, stronger attraction.
-
Sublimation: Solid to gas (skipping liquid). Weak attraction forces.
-
Melting: Solid to liquid. kinetic energy overcomes forces.
-
Freezing: Liquid to solid. Decreased kinetic energy, stronger attraction forces.
-
Deposition: Gas to solid. Reverse sublimation.
-
Phase Changes and Temperature: Temperature remains constant during phase changes, while energy is being absorbed or released.
Solutions overview
-
Solutions: Homogeneous mixtures Composed of a solute and a solvent
-
Concentrated solutions: higher amount of solute present than a dilute solutions
-
Solubility: The maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent, at a specified temperature
-
Unsaturated Solutions Contain less solute than solvent can dissolve
-
Saturated Solutions: Contain the maximum amount of dissolved solute at a given temperature, no more solute will dissolve
-
Supersaturated Solutions: Contain more solute than a saturated solution at a given temperature.
-
Factors affecting solubility: The nature of solute/solvent. Temperature. Pressure. "Like dissolves like".
Specific Heat
-
Specific Heat: Heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C.
-
Heat of Fusion: Energy needed to melt one gram of a solid at its melting point.
-
Heat of Vaporization: Energy needed to convert one gram of a liquid to a gas at its boiling point
-
Heat of Sodification: The amount of energy released when 1 gram of a liquid changes to 1 gram of a solid at the freezing point.
-
Heat of Condensation: The amount of energy released when 1 gram of a gas changes to 1 gram of a liquid
