Student Exploration: Polarity and Intermolecular Forces Vocabulary: dipole, dipole-dipole force, dipole-induced dipole force, electronegati vity, intermolecular force, ionic bond, London dispersion fo... rce, molecule, nonpolar, nonpolar covalent bond, partial charges, polar, polar covalent bond, valence electron Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. A big bully is having a tug-of-war with a small child. There is a ball attached to the middle of the rope. Toward whom will the ball move? (1)The big bully 2. Two equally strong kids are having a tug-of-war. What do you expect to happen to the ball in this situation? (1) I expect the ball to not move and just stay in the middle Gizmo Warm-up Just like in a tug-of-war, atoms that are bonded to one another pull on the electrons they share. In the Polarity and Intermolecular Forces Gizmo, you will explore how these opposing forces relate to bond types and the forces between molecules. To begin, drag the Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine) atoms into the simulation area. Turn on Show valence electrons. A valence electron is found in the outermost energy level of the atom. 1. Click Play ( ). What do you notice? (1) The chlorine atom takes the valence electron from the sodium atom. 2. Which atom seems to be pulling more on sodium’s one valence electron? (sodium or chlorine) (1) chlorine How do you know? (1)I know because the valence electron is now in chlorines valence shell since it pulled the electron more than the sodium did, it now has a more negative charge. 3. What happens to the colors of the simulated atoms, and what does this indicate? (1) The sodium atom turned blue which indicates a positive charge and the chlorine atom turned red which indicates a negative charge. Drag the atoms/molecule down to the bottom to remove them from the simulation area. Activity A: Bond polarity Get the Gizmo ready: ● On the BOND POLARITY tab, click Reset ( ). ● Drag the atoms out of the simulation area. Introduction: A neutral atom has the same number of protons as electrons. Atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged, while those that lose electrons becom [Show More]
