Skills distinguish between polar and nonpolar using its molecular geometry
and electronegativity
Attitude demonstrate open-mindedness in sharing of ideas
2. Review of terminologies
a. Electronegativity
b. Valence electron
c. Dipole
d. Covalent bond
Materials:
• Water
• Vinegar
• Vegetable oil
• Gasoline
• Food coloring (optional for coloring water and vinegar)
• Candle dye (optional for coloring the vegetable oil)
• Test tubes or graduated cylinder
• Stirring rod
Procedure:
Mix the following samples well with a spoon and observe their
reactions. Stir the mixture. Remember to wash and dry the stirring rod
after each use.
a. Water + vinegar
b. Water + oil c. Water + gasoline
d. Oil + vinegar
e. Oil + gasoline
Disposal samples with oil and gasoline should first be mixed with
dishwashing liquid before disposing down the sink.
Have the learners hypothesize why certain combinations mix
better than others. Ask them to group the samples together
according to how well they mix.
Learners should be able to predict the results of the experiment
as they mix oil and water. They should recall simple chores they
do at home such as washing out oil from pans.
Suggest that water and vinegar can be grouped together while
oil and gasoline belong to another group. These substances can
be classified as polar and non-polar substances. The difference in
polarity explains why certain combinations mix and not others.
3. Explain They will answer these guide questions after the activity.

1. When will a molecule become polar? Nonpolar?
2. What are the properties of polar molecules? Nonpolar molecules?
3. How will the shape of the molecule affect its polarity?
Bond Polarity
Review Grade 9 chemistry discussions on properties of elements found
in the periodic table such as boiling points, melting points, oxidation
number, etc. Point out that one of the properties found in the periodic
table is the electronegativity of elements.
Non-polar covalent bonds occur when electron pairs are shared equally
or the difference in electronegativity between atoms is less than 0.5.
Examples of substances having non-polar covalent bonds are:
H2 EN of H = 2.1 ΔEN = 0.0 NON-POLAR MOLECULE;
not a dipole
Cl2 EN of Cl = 3.0 ΔEN = 0.0 NON-POLAR MOLECULE;
not a dipole
F2 EN of F = 4.0 ΔEN = 0.0 NON-POLAR MOLECULE;
not a dipole
HI EN of H = 2.1 EN of I = 2.5 ΔEN = 0.4 POLAR MOLECULE; a
dipole
Possible Answer
Determine the bond polarity, molecular geometry and polarity of the ff.
molecules:
VII. Learning Enablement Create a graphic organizer that will compare and contrast polar and
(2 minutes) non-polar molecules
