POLAR AND NON POLAR
BONDS
• Polar and non-polar bonds are
covalent bonds. Polar bond is
unequal sharing of electrons
whereas non-polar bonds are equal
sharing of electrons.
• The type of bond can be determined
from electronegativity difference
between combining atoms.
• Electronegativity difference is
obtained by the electronegativity
values of elements obtained from
the periodic table.

covalent
•A polar bond is
generally an unfair
bond: one is more tight
while the other is rather
loose.
•ionic bond—a result of an
unequal and big difference
in electronegativities of
elements involved in the
bond
•nonpolar bond is a fair bond:
the electronegativities of the
elements concerned are
equal, as well as the sharing
of electrons (this usually
occurs in covalent bonds
DETERMINING THE POLARITY OF A MOLECULE
Instructions:
Make sure to follow the procedure carefully and
that your materials are ready.
Objective:
Understand how properties of molecules behave due to
polarity works in a larger scale.
MATERIALS:
Tablespoon of oil 1 bottle of nail polish
Tablespoon of salt clean spoon for stirring
Tablespoon of sugar permanent marker
a.Oil
b.Salt
c. Sugar
d.drops of nail polish
3.On the second column, “When Mixed in Water” answer them one
by one and mix your samples in their designated glasses of water.
4. Answer the following questions below the table on your paper:
a.Which sample of molecules did not dissolve in the water?
b.Which sample of molecules dissolved in the water?
c. If water is polar, what is the polarity of the molecules that didn’t
dissolve in the water?
d.If water is polar, what is the polarity of the molecules that
dissolved in the water?
