3. In an attempt to make a complex set of variables fit a man-made model, new facts and events always fit the old model. 4. The bonds in water are not similar to those in carbon tetrachloride. 5. The characteristic of elements un-pairing already paired electrons in order to form bonds is called hybridization. 6. The word hybrid means "a mixture of two different sources."
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.

True-False Mark A for True, and mark B for False.
1. The Master Architect of our universe had His master plan. A
2. Each molecule has exactly the same shape and design.
3. In an attempt to make a complex set of variables fit a man-made model, new facts and
events always fit the old model.
4. The bonds in water are not similar to those in carbon tetrachloride.
5. The characteristic of elements un-pairing already paired electrons in order to form bonds
is called hybridization.
6. The word hybrid means "a mixture of two different sources."
7. In chemistry a hybrid bond is a mixture of different types of electrons.
8. The halogen family has a low tendency to gain electrons.
9. The most common compound of a halogen is probably sodium chloride, table salt.
10. All members of the inert gas family react with other elements.
11. In a hybrid bond, the bonding electrons are at a compromise between orbitals.
12. All electrons attract each other.
13. When a molecule is lopsided (nonsymmetrical), with electrons not symmetrically
distributed, the molecule is polar.
14. If all electrons are evenly distributed in a molecule, the molecule is symmetrical.
15. Electronegativity can influence the polarity of a molecule.
16. When electrons in a molecule are shifted away from one atom and towards another, the
molecule has a dipole (two-pole) and is said to be nonpolar. (p36)
17. Hydrogen (electronegativity = 2.1) is considered an electron hog in LiH, Li>H.
18. When beryllium bonds with two hydrogen atoms, BeH2, a symmetrical, linear molecule is
formed.
