ACTIVITY 1: DIFFERENTIATING POLAR FROM NONPOLAR

MOLECULES
Part I
Directions: Arrange the following substances according to increasing polarity by
getting the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms in the compound. You may
use your periodic table as a reference for the electronegativity of the elements. In the
case of compounds with multiple elements, get the difference in electronegativity of
the encircled elements.
Least polar substance Most polar substance
H – C ≡N H–H H–F Na – Cl H–O–H

Guide Question:
How does the difference in electronegativity between two elements affect its
polarity?
Part II
Directions: Based on your understanding of the effects of molecular symmetry on the
polarity of a molecule, determine whether the following structures are polar molecules
or nonpolar molecules.
__________ __________ __________ __________ __________
__________ __________ __________ __________ __________

Guide Question:
Why are asymmetrical molecules considered polar substances?
Specific Weeks: 2 – 4 (LAS 2)

Target Competencies: Relate the property of a molecule to its properties (S11/12PS-IIIc-16)
Determine if a molecule is polar or nonpolar given its structure (S11/12PS-IIIc-15)

ACTIVITY 2: INTERMOLECULAR FORCES BETWEEN DIFFERENT

TYPES OF PARTICLES
Part I
Directions: Determine the types of particles that interact to form the following
intermolecular forces of attraction. Choose your answers from the options in the box
below.
Ionic Polar Nonpolar Compound with

Compound Covalent Covalent H-F, H-O, or H-N
Compound Compound bond
Part II
Directions: Answer the following questions carefully.
Use the data and illustrations below to answer questions 1 and 2:
Substances Intermolecular Forces Boiling Point
present
Water Hydrogen Bond and London 100oC
forces
Acetone Dipole-dipole Bond and 56oC
London forces

Target Competency: Describe the general types of intermolecular force (S11/12PS-IIIc-d-17)
Explain the effect of intermolecular forces on the properties of substances
(S11/12PS-IIId-e-19)

Water molecules forming hydrogen bond Acetone molecules forming dipole-dipole bond
1. When the same amount of water and acetone were allowed to flow on a slope,
it was observed that acetone flowed faster than water. Why do you think
acetone flowed faster compared to water?
2. If you heat the same amount of water and acetone, you will observe that
acetone boils faster. Why does acetone boil faster than water?
Part III
Directions: Answer the following questions carefully.
1. Place three to four drops of water on the glass and on a glossy leaf (like gabi
leaf). How do the water droplets on the glass and on the glossy leaf look like?
Draw your observations in the respective boxes below.
Water droplets on a Water droplets on a glossy

glass leaf
2. Describe the difference in appearance between the water droplets on a glass
and the water droplets on a glossy leaf. What do you think caused this to
happen?

Target Competency: Explain the effect of intermolecular forces on the properties of substances
(S11/12PS-IIId-e-19)

ACTIVITY 3: BIOMOLECULES: THEIR STRUCTURES, PROPERTIES,

AND FUNCTIONS
Directions: Complete the table below to summarize your understanding of the
structures, properties, and functions of biomolecules.
Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acid
What are the
monomers or
sub-units of
these
biomolecules?
What are the

different kinds
of these
biomolecules?
Give two
examples of
these
biomolecules
What are their

roles or
functions?
Give
example/s of
food where we
can find these
substances
Guide Question:

Target Competency: Explain how the structures of biological macromolecules such as carbohydrates,
lipids, nucleic acid, and proteins determine their properties and functions.
