| C6H5OH |
C - 2.5
H - 2.2
O - 3.5
Bond between C-H: very covalent (.3)
Bond between H-O: slightly covalent (1.3)
Polarity:
The molecule, Phenol, is polar because the Oxygen at the top of the molecule has two pairs of unshared electrons. This offsets the rest of the Hydrogens, which are positive and are evenly distributed.
Types of Forces If Bonded with Another Molecule of Phenol:
Dispersion- force that occurs in every molecule that creates a temporary uneven distribution of electrons and forms a temporary dipole
Dipole Dipole- has an electrostatic force from positive (Hydrogens) to negative (Oxygens)
Hydrogen Bond- creates a temporary covalent bond between Hydrogen and Oxygen
The overall appearance of this blog is very nice. I like the colors used because they are simple and cute.
ReplyDeleteThe blog also accurately and correctly drew the molecule with all of the bonds and charges. It also correctly determined the polarity & all three intermolecular forces that bonded it.
The ad was very informative about what phenol really is, how it is used, and described characteristics of the molecule.
Amy, your blog is aesthetically pleasing; rather than serving as a distraction, the graphics and background compliment the information.
ReplyDeleteBased on my knowledge of the shapes of molecules, the picture on your blog appears to be accurate in terms of classification and structure.
With regards to the polarity of this molecule, I concur with you; this molecule is definitely polar.
Your description of the number and type of intermolecular forces that act on this molecule when attracted to itself is also correct and thorough.
The advertisement for phenol is convincing. The uses of phenol, which you clearly state, entice the reader into wanting to buy products that include phenol when he/she has a sore throat. Overall, the blog was informative, accurate, and easy on the eyes.
This blog is very appealing to the eyes. The colors blend and contrast each other making it very easy to read. The graphics were also very clear as well.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of your molecule seems to be accurate, as I have reached the same conclusion as you.
You were correct in the polarity of this molecule in that it is polar. Also, the intermolecular forces of this molecule is correct.
The ad is very appealing and I enjoyed the graphic of the giraffe. You were informative and got the point across very clearly. Overall, this blog was appealing as well as fun and informative!
