7th Week Performance Task in General Chemistry

This document provides a performance task for a general chemistry class focusing on molecular polarity. It includes tables for students to complete predicting bond type based on electronegativity differences and the polarity of molecules based on their Lewis structures. It also includes short answer questions defining a polar molecule, the conditions for a polar covalent bond, why nail polish dissolves in acetone but not water, and how to remove a paint stain.
