Bond Polarity - Questions

The Bond Polarity Concept Builder is comprised of 27 questions. The questions are organized into 9 different Question Groups and spread across three different difficulty levels. Questions in the same group are rather similar to one another; for instance the two bonded elements may have an electronegativity difference of 0.5 or one of the bonded elements is always fluorine. The Concept Builder is coded to select at random a question from each group until a student is successful with that group of questions.

The three Difficulty Levels in this Concept Builder differ only in terms of the number of questions. The six Question Groups in the Master Difficulty Level include the three Question Groups of the Apprentice Difficulty Level. And the nine Question Groups in the Wizard Difficulty Level include the six Question Groups of the Master Difficulty Level.  
 
  • Apprentice Difficulty Level: Question Groups 1-3 ... Students identify whether a bond is polar or non-polar; and if polar, then they identify the direction of the dipole moment vector.
  • Master Difficulty Level: Question Groups 1-6 ... Students identify whether a bond is polar or non-polar; and if polar, then they identify the direction of the dipole moment vector.
  • Wizard Difficulty Level: Question Groups 1-9 ... Students identify whether a bond is polar or non-polar; and if polar, then they identify the direction of the dipole moment vector.

The questions from each group are shown below. Teachers are encouraged to view the questions in order to judge which difficulty levels are most appropriate for their classes. Alternatively, teachers can do the Concept Builder to gain a feel for the student experience..
