In the three molecules, O2 , HCl and F2 , what atom would have a partial negative charge?
|
chlorine
|
|
The electrostatic attraction between positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electrons permits two atoms to be held together by a(n)
|
chemical bond.
|
|
In metals, the valence electrons
|
are shared by all of the atoms.
|
|
How many electrons must be shown in the Lewis structure of the hydroxide ion,OH- ?
|
8
|
|
As atoms bond with each other, they
|
decrease their potential energy, thus creating more-stable arrangements of matter.
|
|
In drawing a Lewis structure, each nonmetal atom except hydrogen should be sorrounded by
|
8 electrons.
|
|
Dipole-dipole forces are considered the most important forces in polar substances because the London dispersion forces present in polar substances
|
are usually much weaker, than the dipole-dipole forces.
|
|
Compared with molecular bonds, the strength of intermolecular forces is
|
weaker.
|
|
According to VSEPR theory, the shape of an AB3 molecule is
|
trigonal-planar.
|
|
A neutral group of atoms held together by covalent bonds is a
|
molecule.
|
|
The lattice energy is a measure of the
|
strength of an ionic bond.
|
|
Compare with ionic compounds, molecular compounds
|
have lower melting points.
|
|
The properties of both ionic and molecular compounds are related to the
|
strengths of attraction between the particles in the compounds.
|
|
The concept that electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs surrounding an atom casues these pairs to be separated as far as possible is the foundation of
|
VSEPR theory.
|
|
The electron configuration of nitrogen is 1s²2s²2p³. How many more electrons does nitrogen need to satisfy the octet rule?
|
3
|
|
The reason the boiling point of water (H O) is higher than the boiling point of hydrogen sulfide (H S) is partially explained by
|
hydrogen bonding.
|
|
The chemical formula for an ionic compound represents the
|
ratio of the combined ions present in a sample.
|
|
The electrons involved in the formation of a chemical bond are called
|
valence electrons.
|
|
Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of the carbon tetraiodide molecule, CI .
|
tetrahedral
|
|
Metals are malleable because the metallic bonding
|
allows one plane of ions to slide past another.
|
|
The equal but opposite charges present in the two regions of a polar molecule create a(n)
|
dipole.
|
|
Shifting the layers of an ionic crystal causes the crystal to
|
shatter.
|
|
The strength of London dispersion forces between molecules depends on
|
both the number of electrons in the molecule and the mass of the molecule.
|
|
Four hybrid sp³ orbitals are formed from
|
one s orbital and three p orbitals.
|
|
The B-F bond in BF (electronegativity for B is 2.0; electronegativity for F is 4.0) is
|
ionic.
|
|
If two covalently bonded atoms are identical, the bond is
|
nonpolar covalent.
|
|
To draw a Lewis structure, one must know the
|
number of valence electrons in each atom.
|
|
Chemists once theorized that a molecule that contains a single bond and a double bond split its time existing as one of these two structures. This effect became known as
|
resonance.
