Other Video Content Videos
These videos are NOT required, but do offer a different perspective on the topic if that helps!
Crash Course Chemistry - Hank Green's perspective on the issue. Not great for taking notes, but he does cover the topic with flashier graphics than I have! Very entertaining, but best left for a second pass through the content.
Professor Dave - Great example that use electronegativity to explain the spectrum of bonding between ionic and covalent, where polarity compounds live! Should be very easy to follow along with and take notes! Very quick!
Khan Academy - A great discussion of how electronegativity causes bond polarity. Very detailed!
IssacsTEACH - Some example problems where polarity is predicted.
Written Content
Written Content
The links below are sites with written descriptions of this content. Some prefer to learn from reading rather than watching. If that helps you these resources can be useful!
Chemistry LibreTexts - A very detailed discussion on electronegativity and bond polarity. This is a great resource!!
Chemistry LibreTexts - A short discussion on molecular polarity.
This practice used to be an old lab activity. Practice creating a LDS, predict the 3D VSEPR shape, and then predict the polarity of a list of compounds. Definitely use a model kit for this one!!
NO Lab activity for 2024-2025!!
Mastery Quiz
Mastery Quiz
To prove mastery of this topic you will need to take a quiz on Schoology. Here are the guidelines:
You must show me all the completed work for this section BEFORE you you can start attempts on this quiz.
You CANNOT use any notes, practice, or prior quiz attempts to help you complete the quiz. This quiz is CLOSED NOTES!
You CANNOT work with others on the quiz.
You CAN use ANY class resources like a calculator, your periodic table, or any other reference materials. These are often lined on the quiz itself.
You should also have you Nomenclature Summary Doc you made for ht lab activity in this section.
You have 5 attempts to pass this quiz.
Do NOT take multiple attempts at once if you are not sure why you got questions wrong.
Do NOT take another attempt if you got the same grade again.
DO see Mr. Kiefer for help and to go over previous quiz attempts.
You should only need 2-3 tries for each quiz. If it takes more than that you should be reaching out for help!
