Introduction

Building on the fundamentals of covalent bonding, we will be looking deeper into the structures and behaviors of molecular compounds. We will be exploring how covalent bonding is involved in the structure of these molecules and determines how they interact with the world around them.

 

What shape would you expect the compound Hydrogen Fluoride to have?

  • Pyramidal
  • Tetrahedral
  •   Linear
  • Bent

Which of the following substances would you not expect to dissolve in water?

  • Alcohol
  •   Oil
  • Sugar
  • Salt

COVALENT MOLECULES

The way covalent molecules behave is strongly influenced by their structure. A major theme in chemistry overall is that structure greatly impacts properties. This structure/property relationships is why, for example, some liquids have a higher boiling point than others and why certain vitamins are easier to digest than others.

 

To start out, we will be taking a deeper dive into Lewis Dot Structure and see how we can use skill to model the covalent bonding of simple molecular

compounds and determine their shapes. Next, we will look at the

concept of bond polarity. Finally, we will look at how shape and polarity of these molecules gives them the properties we observe in the real world……….. Continue
