What I Can Do This section provides an activity which will help you transfer your new knowledge or skill into real life situations or concerns.
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master the concept of polarity of molecules. The scope of this module permits it to be used in different learning situations. The language used recognizes the varied vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using. The module is divided into three lessons, namely: ● Lesson 1 – Properties of Molecules based on its Polarity After going through this module, you are expected to:
Choose the letter of the best answer. Write the chosen letter on a separate sheet of paper.
From the previous module, you learned how to determine the polarity of bonds using the concept of electronegativity. Also, you learned that polarity of molecules is affected by both the polarity of bonds and its molecular shape or geometry.
Let us have some warm up exercise for our nerve cells before we proceed to the presentation of our lesson. You will perform a simple activity that will help you recall some basic concepts related to polarity of molecules. Have some fun!
There are numerous terms or concepts being studied in science and most of them are either difficult to spell out or pronounce. As teachers, we should think of engaging activities that would motivate our students to learn and at the same time increase their vocabulary skills and spelling ability. Below is an example of an activity you could employ in your class.
RIDDLE: It shows the three-dimensional arrangement of bonding groups of atoms around a central atom. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Can you define the following words/terms that you have decoded?
Directions: Unscramble the letters by placing the correct letter sequence in the shaded boxes to come up with the correct answer for each number. Use the numbered boxes to complete the answer to the riddle below.
One of the practical applications of polarity of molecule in real-life scenario is manifested on the solubility and miscibility of substances to form solution. Solubility is defined as the ability of a solid substance to be dissolved in a given amount of solvent while miscibility is the ability of the two liquids to combine or mix in all proportions, creating a homogenous mixture. The general rule to remember about the solubility and miscibility of molecular compounds can be summarized in a phrase, “ like dissolves like ” or “like mixes with like”. This means that polar substances will only be dissolved or mixed with polar substances while nonpolar substances will be soluble or miscible with another nonpolar substance. Now I want you to try the exercises below in order to assess how much you have understood the solubility (and miscibility) rule of substances in relation to their polarity. Which of the following substances below will most likely mix with each other? a. water (H 2 O) and chloroform (CHCl 3 ) b. benzene (C 6 H 6 ) and chloroform (CHCl 3 ) c. water (H 2 O) and vinegar (CH 3 COOH) d. acetone (C 3 H 6 O) and toluene (C 6 H 5 CH 3 ) e. carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) and water (H 2 O) What chemistry concept did you used in answering the question above? If you answered polarity of molecules, then you are on the right track. Great job! Benzene and chloroform are both nonpolar compounds while water and vinegar are both polar compounds, thus they are miscible to each other. However, the rest is a combination of polar and nonpolar molecules and therefore will not mix and instead will form two layers even if shaken or carefully stirred. B. Bond Strength and Physical Properties of Covalent Compounds From the previous module, you learned the intramolecular forces of attraction , the attractive force that binds atoms together. In this module, you will learn another type of attractive force, the intermolecular forces of attraction (IMFA) which exists between molecules.
In this lesson, we will not discuss IMFA in so much detail because it will be tackled to you in the next module. We will just focus on the following salient points of IMFA and its effect on the physical properties of covalent compounds:
such as boiling point, melting point, vapor pressure, surface tension, etc. Before we move further, try to perform the exercise below to test your ability to analyze concepts and principles that you have learned from the discussion. Put a check (/) to those properties applicable for polar molecule. ____1. High boiling point ____7. High vapor pressure ____2. Low boiling point ____8. Low vapor pressure ____3. High melting point ____9. High surface tension ____4. Low melting point ____10. Low surface tension ____5. High volatility ____11. H-bonding & dipole-dipole present ____6. Low volatility ____12. London dispersion is present How well did you perform in this exercise? Continue reading for you to find out the correct answers for this activity. From the above discussion you learned that there are several types of IMFA and their relative strength as compared to other types. Strong intermolecular forces tend to yield solids and liquids while weak intermolecular forces favor formation of gases. Table 1 shows the comparison of the various types of IMFA while table 2 shows the physical properties of polar and nonpolar molecules as affected by the type of IMFA present. Table 1. Summary of Types of Intermolecular Forces of Attraction (IMFA) Type of IMFA Interacting Substances Examples Ion-dipole Ion (cation or anion) and a polar molecule NaCl dissolved in H 2 O; Ca^2 + and PCl 3 Hydrogen bonding Polar molecules containing H chemically bonded to a small and highly electronegative nonmetal atom such as N, O, and F
