1. Defines the general types of intermolecular forces.
2. Differentiate the general types of intermolecular forces.
3. Identifies the effect of intermolecular forces in the properties of substances.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

III. PROCEDURE
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Greetings
2. Prayer
3. Classroom Management
4. Checking of Attendance

B. Review
Through oral discussion, the teacher will ask for volunteers to cite the contributions of the
following scientist to the understanding of the atom structure:
J.J. Thomson Antoine Lavoisier Dmitri Mendeleev
Ernest Rutherford John Dalton Niels Bohr

C. Motivation:
Video presentation about the polarity experiment showing the differences in polarity and
explains why certain combinations mix and some don't.

D. Unlocking Difficulties:
1. Electronegativity - the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself
2. VSEPR theory - Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory is a model used to
predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs
surrounding their central atoms.
3. Polar molecules - electrons are not equally shared. Hydrophilic (water loving)
4. Non-polar molecules - electrons are not equally shared. Hydrophobic (water
fearing)
5. Big Bang model - states that all matter and energy in the universe was
compressed into an extremely small volume that about 14 billion years ago exploded and
began expanding in all directions.
6. Covalent bond - force of attraction arising due to mutual sharing of electrons
between two the atoms

E. Presentation/ Lesson Proper

Present the topic for the day using a concept map and post the days objectives that are going
to be discussed.
 Electronegativity
 VSEPR theory
 Bond Polarity
 Molecular Geometry
Introduce the two factors that determine the polarity of molecules. These are:
1) The polarity of the bonds between atoms which can be studied based on electronegativity;
2) The geometrical shape of the molecule which can be predicted via the valence shell
electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory.

F. Generalization
Generalize the types of intermolecular forces, their differences and effects in the properties of
substances. Focus on the basic shapes such as linear, bent, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal,

Page 2
 trigonal planar, and octahedral. Practice with the learners on how to determine and draw
different molecular shapes. Emphasize that symmetry and lone pairs plays an important role
in determining the polarity of a molecule.

G. Abstraction
Engage the learners in a class discussion with emphasis that the most practical manifestations
of intermolecular forces and polarity is solubility and miscibility. Solubility refers to the
ability of a solute to dissolve in a certain amount of solvent. Miscibility is the ability of two
liquids to mix in all proportions.

H. Application/ Implication:
Group the class into 3 and let one representative to cite the importance and application of
molecular polarities in biological processes and daily human activities.

IV. EVALUATION:
Give a short quiz with 5 items matching type.
Direction: Match the molecule in column A to its corresponding bond polarity molecular
geometry polarity in column B. Write only the letter of answer on the blank provided.

Column A Column B
1. ____ - H2O a. non-polar trigonal planar non-polar
