Yes

Front (Question)

Why do ionic compounds dissolve/do not dissolve in polar solvents?

Back (Answer)

The polar water molecules break down the lattice by surrounding each ion to form a solution

What is electronegativity?

Back (Answer)

A measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond

#19

Front (Question)

What is a permanent dipole?

Back (Answer)

A small charge different across a bond that results from a difference in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms
