LEARNING MODULE IN ADVANCED CHEMISTRY

DESCRIPTION:

This learning kit is an innovative tool produced by the SP-DCSS (Liceo de San Pablo) to meet
the standards of the Department of Education. It is designed to introduce Science subject as one of
the major subjects in Junior Highschool. This module addresses concern of efficiently transmitting
scientific knowledge to all types of learners.

OBJECTIVE:
The learner demonstrates an understanding of Electronegativity and Bond Polarity.

 Student’s Opening Prayer
by St. Thomas Aquinas

Come, Holy Spirit, Devine Creator, true source

of light, and fountain of wisdom!

Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense

intellect, dissipate the darkness which
covers me, that of sin and of ignorance.
Grant me a penetrating mind to understand,
a retentive memory, method and ease in learning,
the lucidity to comprehend, and
abundant grace in expressing myself.
Guide the beginning of my work,
direct its progress, and bring
it to successful completion.

This I ask through Jesus Christ,

true God and true man,
living and reigning with and the father,
forever and ever

Amen.

Closing Prayer

Dear God, thank you for the lesson today.

It’s great to find out new things about your world.
It’s fun trying new skills and learning new ideas.
Help us remember all we have learnt today.
We look forward to tomorrow and all the wonderful
things we will be taught.
Amen.
 Electronegativity and Bond Polarity

Electronegativity can be used to predict the nature of the bond in a compound. The larger the electronegativity
difference between the two atoms, the more polar will be. Generally, if the electronegativity difference is:

0 – less than 0.4 = nonpolar covalent bond

0.4 - 1.78 = polar covalent bond

Greater than 1.78 = ionic bond

Shown below are the representative elements with their corresponding electronegativity values. Nonmetals
have higher difference electronegativity values that metals. Electronegativity value increases form left to right
along period and decreases from top to bottom within a group.

This periodic table shows the electronegativities of each atom.

Using the electronegativity values given above and on the basis of electronegativity differences,
indicate the type of bond present in these bonds and rank them according to increasing polarity.
 Na----F Fr-----Br C-----N Se-----S Br-----O

SOLUTION:

Elements Electronegativity difference Bond Type

Na ----F 4.0 – 0.9 = 3.1 ionic bond

Fr------Br 2.8 – 0.7 = 2.1 ionic bond

C------N 3.0 – 2.5 = 0.5 polar covalent bond

Se-----S 2.5 – 2.4 = 0.1 nonpolar covalent bond

Br-----O 3.5 – 2.8 = 0.7 polar covalent bond

Se-----S < C-----N < Br-----O < Fr-----Br < Na-----F

and pass it when the module is due.

Activity 1

Directions: Answer briefly.

1. How do you find the electronegativity polarity of a bond?

2. Predict whether the bond between the following pairs of elements will be ionic, polar, or nonpolar. Refer to
the electronegativity values in the periodic table and arrange them according to their increasing polarity.

1. C and Cl
2. F and F
3. O and F
4. Mg and Cl
5. Na and O

VALUING
One is almost tempted to say…at last I can almost see the bond.
But that will never be, for a bond does not really exist at all; it is a
most convenient fiction which, as we have seen, is convenient to
both to experimental and theoretical chemists.
- Charles Alfred Coulson
