A Detailed Lesson Plan in Physical Science

I. OBJECTIVES
After one-hour lesson the student should be able to:

 differentiate polar molecule from non-polar molecule;

 determine whether the bond between atoms is polar, nonpolar, or
ionic based on electronegativity difference; and
 relate the polarity of a molecule to its properties.

Review of the Past Lesson:

Last time we discussed the Properties of

Molecules.

Kindly share your learnings about the

past lesson.
B. PRESENTATION
Before I discuss the Polarity of Molecules,
let us define first the word Chemical
Bonding.

Let us know first what Chemical is.

What comes into your mind when you

hear the word chemical? Answer may vary.

Interaction of substances as studied in

chemistry. It has been purified or
prepared, especially artificially.

How about the word bonding? formation of close relationships.

Based on your answer, what is your idea

about chemical bonding? Answer may vary.

Chemical bonding refers to the formation

of a chemical bond between two or more
atoms, molecules, or ions to give rise to a
chemical compound.

Chemical bonding has two main types.

What do you think are those? Ionic bond
Covalent Bond
How can you say that a bond is an ionic
bond? When an atom transfers one or
more valence electrons to
another atom.
How about covalent bond?
Electron pairs are being shared
An Ionic bond exists between metal and by both atoms.
nonmetal atoms where metal loses
electron/s while nonmetal accepts the
electron/s donated by metal. On the other
hand, a covalent bond exists when two
nonmetal atoms combine, neither of them
loses or gains electron.

There are two types of Covalent Bonds.

Namely: Polar Covalent Bond and Non-
Polar Covalent Bond.
Polar Covalent Bond is when two bonded
atoms are not equally distributed the
electrons, one atom is more
electronegative than the other atom, this
bond is polarized, meaning one atom is
partially positive and the other atom is
partially negative. While Non-Polar
Covalent Bonds when the two atoms
having similar electronegativity will share
electrons equally.

Let’s now proceed on how we can

determine the polarity of a compound by
finding the Value of Electronegativity
Difference.

But before that, let’s define first the

electronegativity.

What is electronegativity? A measure of an atom's ability to

attract shared electrons to itself.
Electronegativity is a chemical property
that describes the power of an atom in a
molecule to attract shared-pair electrons
towards itself.
Electronegativity can determine whether
a compound is Polar or Non-Polar.

We could use the electronegativity values

of the atoms involved to get the absolute
electronegativity difference (∆EN) which
will help us in predicting what type of
chemical bond (ionic, polar covalent or
nonpolar covalent) that would exist
between them.

This is the Value of Electronegativity

Difference.
For example: Ca and Cl
ENCa = 1.0
ENCl = 3.0
= (∆EN) = 1.0 – 3.0
= │-2.0│
= 2.0 ionic bond

ENCl = 3.0
ENCl = 3.0
(∆EN) = 3.0 – 3.0
=0
nonpolar covalent bond

ENH = 2.1
ENCl= 3.0
(∆EN) = 2.1 – 3.0
= │-0.9│
= 0.9
polar covalent bond
C. GENERALIZATION

What is the difference between

Polar and Non-Polar Bond?
Polar Covalent Bond: Unequal
electron distribution due to one
atom being more electronegative,
resulting in partial positive and
negative charges.

Non-Polar Covalent Bond: Equal

electron sharing between atoms
with similar electronegativity.
How can we determine the polarity
of a molecule? We could use the
electronegativity values of the
atoms involved to get the
absolute electronegativity
difference (∆EN) which will help
us in predicting what type of
chemical bond that would exist
between them.
Electronegativity it the atom's
ability to attract shared electrons in
a molecule an determines polarity
of compounds. ∆EN predicts bond
 type (ionic, polar covalent,
nonpolar covalent).

Do you have any questions?

None ma’am.
