Polarity and Intermolecular Forces
Combine various metal and nonmetal atoms to observe how the electronegativity difference determines the polarity of chemical bonds. Place molecules into an electric field to experimentally determine if they are polar or nonpolar. Create different mixtures of polar and nonpolar molecules to explore the intermolecular forces that arise between them.

Polarity & Intermolecular Forces #2
This task card can be used for remote learning or in class as a small group or individual activity. In th... (more)is activity, students will investigate the nature of molecular bonding. Using an electric field, students examine the molecules' behavior and decide if the molecules are polar or nonpolar.
