Dipole Moment (Simplified) Practice Problems

Determine which bond is less polar, Se–F or Br–F.

List the following bonds in order of increasing bond polarity: Si and Br, Rb and Br, Br and Br, P and Br, and Sr and Br.

Based on the electronegativity difference, determine the type of bond formed by Rb and F.

Consider the molecule Cl₂ (Cl–Cl). Based on the electronegativity difference, is the bond in Cl₂ pure covalent, nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, or ionic?

Determine the electronegativity difference and identify the type of bond formed between As and Br.

True or False: A difference in electronegativity ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 will result in a polar covalent bond.

Draw an arrow showing the direction of the dipole moment in the following bond: C–F.

Consider a bond formed between P and Cl. Use the symbol δ⁺ to indicate the positive end and use δ^– to indicate the negative end of the bond then show the direction of the dipole arrow.

Considering electronegativity values, determine whether the bond that will be formed between Mg and F is ionic or covalent.

Which molecule has a more polar bond, AsF₃ or AsCl₃?

The sulfur-oxygen double bonds in SO₂ are both polar. The polarity arrows would point in which direction?

Which atom would have the negative pole in the FI molecule?

Describe the nature of electrons in a polar covalent bond.

Which compound contains nonpolar bonds?
