Identifying Partial Charges

Module 1: Formal Charge, Partial Charge, Electron Density, Hybridization, and Resonance Structures Electron Density Identifying Partial Charges

What we learned:

Electron density will flow towards FON elements
Formal positive charges cause bigger dipoles
- This is a result of an electron deficient atom pulling on the electron density of the atoms it’s bonded to with more strength than it normally would to make up for its electron deficiency
