Journal Entry:

 Consider the illustration. If the penguin represents a hydrogen atom and the polar bear represents a chlorine atom, what does the ice cream represent in the drawing?

Would HCl be attracted to a charged wand? Explain your thinking.

Learning Intentions

• We will learn what causes polarity and polar molecules.

• We will learn how to describe the different types of bonding that correspond to different combinations of electronegative atoms.

• We will learn how to predict the general direction and strength of a dipole for any two atoms, using the periodic table.

Closing Task:

You can determine the polarity of a molecule and what each part of the molecule can be represented by using characters from the comic strip.
