Document Summary

Polar covalent bonds: though atoms often form compounds by sharing electrons, the electrons are not always shared equally. Electronegativity: ability of an atom in a molecule to attract bonding electrons to itself, quantified by linus pauling. Increases across a period and decreases down a group. The larger the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond. Dipole moment: measure of bond polarity. Writing lewis structures for molecular compounds: write skeletal structure. Central atom is the least electronegative element. H is always terminal: determine the total number of valence electrons each atom is bringing in to form the molecule. For cation - subtract electron(s: distribute electrons to make octets. If any elements lack an octet, form double or triple bonds. Resonance structures: same skeletal formulas, but different electron arrangements, actual molecule is a combination of the resonance forms resonance hybrid. Writing lewis structures: octet rule, resonance. 2 or more valid structures can be drawn for same compound: formal charge.
