Electronegativity
The Electronegativity simulation allows students to explore the variety of factors that affect the nature of the bond between two atoms. The positioning of the valence electrons involved in the bond is shown. The percent ionic and percent covalent character of the bond is displayed. A dipole moment vector is also displayed. A slider is positioned along a spectrum between ionic and covalent.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. For a more guided experience, The Physics Classroom has prepared an activity for use with this Interactive and encourages teachers to use it with their classes.
Learners and Instructors may also be interested in viewing the accompanying Notes page. Technical information, teaching suggestions, and related resources that complement this Interactive are provided on the Notes page. View Notes.
