Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Chapter 12.1, Problem 5RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of electronegativity values on polarity of a bond is to be discussed.

Concept introduction:

Chemical bond is of three types:

  • Ionic bond
  • Chemical bond
  • Coordinate bond

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 5RQ

If electronegative difference between the atoms is zero then pure covalent bond is formed.

If it is intermediate, then polar covalent bond is formed.

If the difference is large, ionic bond is formed.

Explanation of Solution

Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another forming the bonds.

Covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the atoms forming the bonds

Polar covalent bond is formed between two different atoms.

Non-polar covalent bond is between two same atoms.

Thus, electronegative difference value depicts which type of bond is formed between two atoms.

Conclusion

Thus, electronegative values are helpful in determining the polarity of bond.
