Electronegativity and polarity L.O.: Describe electronegativity in terms of an atom attracting bonding electrons in a covalent bond. Explain how a permanent dipole can result in a polar bond.
Electron density describes the way negative charge is distributed in a molecule. Where is the electron density in the H-O? Which atom has the most electron-pulling power?
Electronegativity is a measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Factors affecting electronegativity 1) Nuclear charge – the more protons, the stronger the attraction from the nucleus to the bonding pair of electrons. 2) Atomic radius – the closer the bonding electrons to the nucleus, the stronger the attraction from the nucleus to the bonding pair of electrons. 3)Shielding – the less shells of electrons shielding (repelling) the bonding electrons, the stronger the attraction from the nucleus to the bonding pair of electrons.
Trend down a group Electronegativity decreases • Atomic radius increases • More shielding • Less attraction between nucleus and bonding pair of electrons
Trend across a period Electronegativity increases • Atomic radius decreases • More nuclear charge • Stronger attraction between nucleus and bonding pair of electrons
Bonds like this are polar. The greater the difference in polarity, the more polar is the covalent bond
A permanent dipole is a small charge difference across a bond that results from a difference in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms. A polar covalent bond has a permanent dipole.

Why is fluorine more electronegative than chlorine? Fluorine is a smaller atom and when it forms a covalent bond, the shared electrons are closer to the nucleus.
CCl4 is a non-polar molecule CCl4 is symmetrical. The dipoles act in different directions and cancel each other out. CCl4 is a non-polar molecule with polar bonds.
Arrange the following covalent bonds in order of increasing polarity: H-O, H-F, H-N. • The order of polarity is the same as the order of electronegativity of the second atom.
Write + and - signs to show the polarity of the bonds in a hydrogen chloride molecule
