[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Polarity and covalent bonds.

In this module students explore the properties of chemicals with covalent and ionic bonds. Students learn that there are different types of covalent bonds, polar and nonpolar, and that the type of covalent bond along with the shape of a...

Florida State University provides an explanation of electronegativity of elements and its affect on bond type.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers polarity and covalent bonds.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The following online tutorial describes how the electronegativity difference between two atoms in a covalent bond results in the formation of a nonpolar covalent,...

By working through this web-based activity, students differentiate between ionic, non-polar covalent, and polar covalent bonds. Specifically, distinctions are made between bonding types based on orbital shapes and electronegativity...

This site talks about ionic, polar covalent, and non-polar covalent bonding.

Explains what covalent bonds are and the difference between them and ionic bonds. Discusses the properties of polar and non-polar covalent bonds, and single and multiple covalent bonds, and gives analogies and examples of how covalent...

Use this resource to understand polar covalence in ion-derived solids.

An interactive simulation that teaches about polarity, electronegativity, and bonds by changing the electronegativity of atoms and bond angles in a molecule to see how it affects polarity. This simulation can either be downloaded or...

Simulations to show students the nature of chemical bonds. Simulations include an explanation of stereochemistry, atomic orbitals, chemical polarity, formation of an atom, and a summary quiz.

When is a molecule polar? Change the electronegativity of atoms in a molecule to see how it affects polarity. See how the molecule behaves in an electric field. Change the bond angle to see how shape affects polarity. See how it works...

This interactive activity from ChemThink takes a closer look at a covalent bond: how it is formed and how the sharing of two electrons can keep atoms together.

The General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, or Chem 1, is broken into several sections covering various aspects of topics related to chemistry. This section deals with chemical bonding and specifically the study of both polar and nonpolar...

Explains what intramolecular and intermolecular forces are and the different types for each. Includes lots of examples.

Frostburg State University provides a brief explanation to the question of why small hydrogen molecules, such as OH, NH, and FH, are very polar.

This slide show on atomic bonds contains several slides on electron affinity. Other topics include covalent, Sigma and Pi bonds, and atomic bonding in solids.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will determine the polarity of a chemical bond using the electronegativity chart, and then distinguish between nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, and ionic...
