molecular polarity depends on…
bond polarity and molecular geometry.
bond polarity
A measure ofhow evenly electrons are shared in a chemical bond, determined by the difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.
To be a polar MOLECULE a molecule must…
To determine molecular polarity…
Resonance structures
(Multiple) hybrid Lewis structures that show different possible arrangements of electrons in a molecule.
When do resonance structures occur?
When there is more than one possible position of a double bond in a molecule.
Resonance hybrid
An intermediate form of a molecule which exists when more than one valid Lewis formula can be drawn.
This form is more stable, as it has equal bond length and strength for each bond.
What is one molecule that has resonance
Benzene (C6H6)
Formal charge definition
The charge an atom would have if all the bonding electrons in the molecule were shared equally.
