9.6.16 Chemistry 1212KNotes[Week 3] Chapter 10 Lecture Cont. MolecularPolarity Question:Why are some molecules polar in natures andother are nonpolar Answer:Lookattheir intramolecular bondingandtheir three-dimensional structures (geometries). Inorder for molecules to be polar,the followingcriteriamustbe met: o There must be polar covalent bonds withinthe molecule. o The molecule must have anetdipole moment, because the molecule’s geometry is not symmetric. The netdipole moment is due to a difference inbondatoms’ electronegativities. Exceptions:1lone pair=asymmetrical,2 lone pairs=symmetrical,3 Dipole Moment—the directionwherethe electrons are beingpulled to.Polar molecule
