Mission CB5 Covalent Bonding and Bond Polarity

Mission CB5 pertains to the polarity of a covalent bond. Students must know fundamental concepts regarding the factors affecting the direction and magnitude of the bond dipole and apply the concepts to specific bonds. The mission consists of 32 questions organized into 8 Question Groups.

• The student should be able to explain polar covalent bonds, positive and negative poles, and a dipole moment vector for a bond.
• The student should be able to use electronegativity values to describe the relative magnitude and the direction of the dipole moment vector for polar covalent bonds.
