Water is polar because of unequal sharing of electrons based on Electronegativities (EN).
Chlorine is Non-Polar because electrons are shared fairly (ie equal pulls)
Why is HCl a polar molecule while Cl2 is a non polar molecule?
Water is a v-shape : polar
Carbondioxide is linear: nonpolar
Explain why water has different properties from carbon dioxide. Base your answer on the molecular structure of these substances.
Non polar parts are on the inside to be away from the polar water. Polar parts are on the outside attracted to the polar H2O molecules in the cytoplasm
The proteins in many cells contain both polar and non polar side chains. The non polar side chains are usually found on the inside of the protein, while the polar side chains are found on the outside facing the cell's cytoplasm, which is mostly water. Explain why proteins assume this type of structure.

Electronegativity
DEFINITION: an atom's ability to attract electrons when bonded with other atoms.
Duet Rule
DEFINITION: a rule that says that a H atom must only have 2 electrons filling its outer orbital.
Octet Rule
DEFINITION: a rule that says that the rest of the elements must have 8 electrons filling its outer level
Valence electrons
DEFINITION: The electrons that are in the highest energy leval of an atom and they are involved in chemical bonding
Lewis Dot structure
DEFINITION: Shows how atoms bond in covalent compounds
look at ROMAN NUMERAL group number at top of group
How to find valence electrons
Octet Rule
DEFINITION: all noble gases have 8 valence e. (except hydrogen which has 2 e.)
1) add up all of the valence e. 2) determine the central atom 3) distribute the valence e. so each atom satisfies the octet rule
