Re: polar vs. non-polar
Polar models are assymetrical while nonpolar are symetrical

Re: Midterm 2 Report
Hi! I am so glad that midterm 2 was successful for you! I will definitely be using the studying methods you mentioned. I especially found the tip to complete homework problems as we learn about them in lecture to be helpful! Good luck on the rest of the quarter!

Re: Inter vs. Intra
intra means within so intramolecular is within a molecule. inter means between intermolecular is between molecules

Re: Achieve #18, weeks 5 and 6
I believe strongest to weakest is i2, br2, cl2, because ldfs are stronger between larger atoms.

Re: Inter vs. Intra
Intra means within so intramolecular means within a molecule. Inter means in between so intermolecular means in between molecules.

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
Those elements are very electronegative so they are hydrogen bond acceptors. They withdraw the majority of the electron density in the covalent bond with hydrogen, leaving the h atom very electron deficient.

Re: London Dispersion Forces
You can determine strength of london dispersion forces through molecular size: larger and heavier atoms have stronger dispersion forces than smaller and lighter ones. London dispersion forces tend to be stronger between molecules that are easily polarized and weaker between molecules that are not ea...

Re: Participation credit
There is no way to see your participation credit as far as I know, but you can see how many posts you have made on chemistry community and divide it by the week number and if the result is 5, then you have met the participation credit so far!

Re: Purpose of a Dipole Moment
Dipole moments tell us where the electrons on a molecule are, they can also tell us the shape of molecules. They are important for many properties such as ability to dissolve solutes, melting and boiling points, and reactivity in general.

Re: Bond Lengths
Double bonds are shorter because they are stronger so they bring atoms closer together so that the distance between them is shorter and therefore the bond is shorter
