Lesson 3—Molecular Polarity

Get Focused

Mmmm, pancakes. Although pancakes are great to eat, sometimes cooking them can be tricky. Many people like to use non-stick cookware to prevent pancakes and other foods from sticking to the metal surface of their cookware. What is special about the coating that prevents food from sticking? Does this property relate to an aspect of the bonding of the molecules used to make the coating?

Essential Question

• How can you determine the polarity of a molecule by using the shape of its structure and its distribution of charge?
