3. Can you make some predictions about the polarity of the molecules? Which ones are polar? Which ones are nonpolar? A molecule is considered to be nonpolar if there is a symmetrical distribution of all of the electrons around the central atom. A molecule then is considered polar is there is an asymmetrical distribution of electrons around the central atom. Remember that nonbonding pairs of electrons reside closer to the nucleus of the central atoms (as they belong solely to the central atom and they are not shared) in contrast tobonding pairs of electrons that ar shared between the central atom and the outer atoms.
Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be neutral atoms.
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms. Water, as we all know has two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. As oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen thus, there exists polarity in the bonds which is why water is known as a polar solvent.
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the formation of covalent bonds with the help of wavefunctions using attractive and repulsive energies when two atoms are brought from infinity to their internuclear distance.
