PHET Interactive Simulations: Molecule Polarity
Free
Topics
Polarity
Electronegativity
Bonds
Partial Charge
Dipole
Description
When is a molecule polar? Change the electronegativity of atoms in a molecule to see how it affects polarity. See how the molecule behaves in an electric field. Change the bond angle to see how shape affects polarity.
Sample Learning Goals
Predict bond polarity using electronegativity values
Indicate polarity with a polar arrow or partial charges
Rank bonds in order of polarity
Predict molecular polarity using bond polarity and molecular shape
