For each molecule, draw the Lewis structure, predict the shape and bond angle, and identify as polar or nonpolar. Br2

Electronegativity differences indicate Polarity

Electronegativity difference (∆En) and Bond type

For each pair of elements, calculate the electronegativity difference and label the bond type (polar covalent, nonpolar covalent, or ionic).H, ClH, SS, ClNa, FCl, BrAl, Br

Energy Practice ProblemGiven the following bond

dissociation energy values, calculate the total energy that would be required to break all of the covalent bonds in 0.25 mol of ethane (C2H6).

C-C = 347 kJ/molC-H = 393 kJ/mol

Properties of Covalent CompoundsLow melting and boiling points

(melting sugar, not salt)Many exist as gases or vaporize

readily at room temperature (oxygen, carbon dioxide)

Form relatively soft solids (paraffin wax)

Forces of Attraction Intramolecular

forces (bonding forces)

Covalent bond is strong (sharing of electrons)

Covalent network solids = brittle, nonconductors, extremely hard, very high melting point (diamond, quartz)

Intermolecular forces (a.k.a. van der Waals forces)Dispersion (induced dipole)

= between nonpolar molecules

Dipole-dipole = between polar molecules

Hydrogen bond = between hydrogen on one molecule and fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen on another
