2. Essential Knowledge:
 Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
 Polar covalent bonds occur when there is an unequal sharing of electrons due to differences in electronegativity between atoms.
 Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a bond.
 Molecules with polar covalent bonds have partial positive and negative charges, resulting in a dipole moment.
 Water (H₂O) is a common example of a polar molecule, which explains many of its unique properties.
3. Essential Skills:
 Identify and describe different types of chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, polar covalent).

Essential Questions

  1. What is the difference between covalent and polar covalent bonds?

  4. How do polar covalent bonds affect the behavior of substances in real life?

Key Concepts

  1. Covalent Bonds:

    • Formed by the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms.
    • Can be nonpolar or polar.

  2. Polar Covalent Bonds:

    • Occur when there is an unequal sharing of electrons due to differences in electronegativity.
    • The atom with higher electronegativity attracts electrons more strongly, resulting in partial positive and negative charges within the molecule.

  3. Electronegativity:

    • The tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a bond.
    • Differences in electronegativity (typically larger than 0.4) indicate a polar bond.

  4. Dipole Moment:

    • Results from the uneven distribution of electron density, creating a molecule with partial positive and negative charges.
    • A common example is water (H₂O), which has a bent molecular shape and is polar.
