Polar versus Nonpolar By Daniel R. Barnes, init 11/14/2006
SWBAT . . . . . . explain in detail why oil and water don't mix.
shared electron pair covalent bond = Formula = H2O water molecule
electronegativity 3.5 -2.1 + + 1.4 2.1 unequal sharing of electrons 3.5 - "polar covalent bonds"
+ + - - This attraction is an example of an “intermolecular force.” It is a specific kind of attraction called a “hydrogen bond”.
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES HYDROGEN BONDING
nonpolar covalent 2.5 -2.1 2.1 2.5 electronegativity hydrogen carbon 0.4 Formula = octane C8H18
nonpolar covalent 2.5 2.1 + - No +’s No -’s "negligible" DISCLAIMER: C may be slightly negative & H slightly positive, but not enough to matter
nonpolar covalent No +’s No -’s
Huh? + - nonpolar covalent How do gasoline and water interact? No minuses or plusses on the octane molecule, so . . . No attraction, no repulsion. . . . whatever . . . . . . but . . . polar covalent
+ + - - . . . so . . . . . . but . . .
Italian Salad Dressing Oily layer Watery layer
What kind of bonds are there in each layer? Example: C--H nonpolar Oily layer Watery layer polar Example: O--H
As a result of polarity differences, how are atoms charged differently? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 nonpolar Oily layer Watery layer polar + - + - + - + -
more CHECKS FOR UNDERSTANDING Q: Why is the bond between H & O polar, whereas the bond between H & C is nonpolar? A: H & C have electronegativities that are almost the same (2.1 & 2.5), whereas H & O have very different electronegativities (2.1 & 3.5).
even more CHECKS FOR UNDERSTANDING Q: Why does Italian salad dressing separate into two layers? A: It contains polar materials and nonpolar materials.
still more CHECKS FOR UNDERSTANDING Q: Why is the oily layer on the top rather than on the bottom? A: Oil is less dense than water.
Water is polar, so when you need to wash, you often need to add soap to the water to dissolve the nonpolar substances like fat, grease, and oil.
