  2. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    [9] [10] On rows of the periodic table, polarizability therefore decreases from left to right. [9] Polarizability increases down on columns of the periodic table. [9] Likewise, larger molecules are generally more polarizable than smaller ones. Water is a very polar molecule, but alkanes and other hydrophobic molecules are more polarizable ...

  3. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    In general, nucleophilicity decreases as electronegativity increases, meaning that nucleophilicity decreases from left to right across the periodic table. On the other hand, electrophilicity generally increases as electronegativity increases, meaning that electrophilicity follows an increasing trend from left to right on the periodic table. [29]

  4. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.

  5. Electronegativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronegativity

    The chemical effects of this increase in electronegativity can be seen both in the structures of oxides and halides and in the acidity of oxides and oxoacids. Hence CrO 3 and Mn 2 O 7 are acidic oxides with low melting points , while Cr 2 O 3 is amphoteric and Mn 2 O 3 is a completely basic oxide .

  8. Metallic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_bonding

    The strong bonding of metals in liquid form demonstrates that the energy of a metallic bond is not highly dependent on the direction of the bond; this lack of bond directionality is a direct consequence of electron delocalization, and is best understood in contrast to the directional bonding of covalent bonds.

  9. Solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent

    The polarity, dipole moment, polarizability and hydrogen bonding of a solvent determines what type of compounds it is able to dissolve and with what other solvents or liquid compounds it is miscible. Generally, polar solvents dissolve polar compounds best and non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar compounds best; hence "like dissolves like".
