Study Notes
Ionic and Covalent Bonds
- A difference in electronegativity values of usually more than 2.0 indicates an ionic bond
- Electronegativity difference less than 0.5 results in a non-polar covalent bond
Intermolecular Forces
- London dispersion forces are present in non-polar molecules
- Dipole-dipole forces are present only in polar molecules
- Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules with a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom like fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen
Polarity and Solubility
- Polar molecules have partially positive and negative ends, which attract each other
- Non-polar molecules do not have positive or negative ends, resulting in very weak attraction between them
- Solubility refers to the ability of a solute to dissolve in a certain amount of solvent
- The rule of thumb 'like dissolves like' is applied to the concept of solubility of substances
- Sucrose is soluble in water because both are polar molecules
Electronegativity and Bonding
- The greater the difference between atom electronegativity values, the more polar chemical bonds formed between them
- Electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom in the periodic table
- Noble gases tend to be an exception to this trend
- The least electronegative or most electropositive element is cesium
Molecular Shape and Polarity
- A molecule is polar if electrons are attracted to one end of the molecule more than the other end, resulting in a polar molecule
- No center of charge separation means no molecular polarity
- The VSEPR theory states that the shape of many molecules is determined largely by the efforts of the valence shell electrons to stay out of each other’s way to the greatest extent possible

Description
Learn about how the forces of attraction in polar and nonpolar molecules affect their melting and boiling points. Understand why polar molecules generally have higher melting points compared to nonpolar molecules through examples like hydrogen fluoride (HF) and fluorine (F2). Explore the concept of boiling point and how it relates to the temperature at which a liquid turns into gas.
