Molecule Building Lab
Investigation 4.2.1
Electronegativity and Bond Polarity (dipole)
C 2.5
Describe a Canadian contribution to the
field of atomic and molecular theory
Molecular Polarity
Predict polarity of various chemical
compounds based on their molecular
shapes and EN (bond polarity vs.
molecular polarity)
Quantum Mechanics and Bonding:
Hybridization
Intermolecular Forces
The role they play in explaining the physical
properties of a solid or liquid (solubility,
boiling point, melting point, melting point
suppression, hardness, conductivity,
surface tension)depending on the particles
present and the types of
inter/intramolecular forces – covalent, ionic
bonding, Van der Waals forces, Hydrogen
bonding, metallic bonding
Prime Suspect Lab
LAB – Observe and analyze physical
properties of various substances and
determine the type of bonding present in
each substance
LAB TEST
The Structure and Properties of Solids –
predict type of solid (ionic, molecular,
covalent network, metallic) formed by a
given substance
