35. The amount of electronegativity difference between the H and F is a. 1.7 b. 2.0 с. 1.9 d. 1.0 36. The electronegativity difference between C and Cl in carbon tetrachloride, CCL4 is a. 0.5 b. 0.2 с. 0.8 d. 1. 37. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity because a. bonding electrons are free to roam among any of the atoms in the metal piece b. electrons are transferred in covalent bonds c. electrons are shared in ionic bond d. electrons are locked into a fixed location Difference in Electronegativity and Percent Ionic Character (p.13-15). Match the difference in electronegativity and percent ionic character with the following molecules. (Hint: Find the electronegativity for each element on the Periodic Table. The atom with the highest electronegativity pulls the electrons towards itself. Subtract to find the difference. Match the difference in electonegativity with the values across the top of the periodic table. Percent ionic character is listed below the electronegativity difference.)

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.
