CHM 11100 Activities and Explorations: 10 points, Due October 2 at 11:59 PM Lewis Structures and Polarity - Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) Instructions: Upload your work on this page to Brightspace by typing or writing your responses and saving the file AS A PDF FILE with your first and last name and uploading that file. You can also take pictures of your written work and paste them in! Only use the PDF format, don’t use Pages, HEIC, or docx! Learning Objectives 10.1 – Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of the molecule. 10.2 – Determine whether a molecule or polyatomic ion is polar or non-polar Consider the following Lewis structures for H 2 O, NH 3 , NO 3 - , and CO 2 . Data observations: What do you observe about the central atom of these Lewis structures? (this is a hint to get you started) Claim (2 pts): Which molecules(s) or ion are polar? The molecules that are polar are H 2 O and NH 3. Evidence (4 pts, you need at least two pieces of evidence): You can use your observations which support your claim as well as ideas (scientific principles) from the lectures and examples. How do you determine if a molecule or ion is polar (hint – what did we do in lecture)? You can determine if a molecule is polar if it has lone pairs on the central atom. Electronegativity is related to polarity. If the molecule has polar bonds (a difference greater than .4 in electronegativity), it can be a polar molecule. The atoms in the polar molecule would be sharing electron unequally. Reasoning (4 pts.): (Connect your evidence to your claim and use scientific principle(s)). (1 pt.) Restate your claim. (2 pt.) Discuss your evidence from above. (1 pt.) Use your evidence to support your clam. H 2 O and NH 3 are polar molecules. Lone pairs on the central atom make the molecule polar. Both the nitrogen and oxygen, which are central atoms, have lone pairs. Difference in electronegativity in bonds causes electrons to be shared unequally, making it a polar molecule. The oxygen and the nitrogen in H 2 O and NH 3 are more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms. Oxygen and nitrogen attract electrons more than the hydrogen atoms. Due to the polar molecules
CHM 11100 sharing electrons unequally, the oxygen and the nitrogen have a slightly negative charge and hydrogens have a slightly positive charge.
