- How many covalent bonds and how many ionic bonds are there in the molecular structures below? Please note that a pair of cation (+) and anion (-) form ONE ionic bond, and that a double bond counts for TWO covalent bonds.arrow_forwardSelect the most TRUE statement from the following list: Metal atoms are more electronegative than nonmetal atoms. Large atoms are more electronegative then small atoms. "Electronegativity" is a term that can and is used to describe atoms in any type of bonding scenario. Fluorine, oxygen, nitrogen, and chlorine are characterized by the highest electronegativity among atoms on the periodic table.arrow_forwardBelow is the Lewis structure of the hydrazine (N₂H₂) molecule. H:N::N:H Count the number of bonding pairs and the number of lone pairs around the left hydrogen atom in this molecule. bonding pairs: lone pairs: Xarrow_forward
- Identify Element A Identify Element B Identify the compund formula Using electronegativities, show which type of bond is present. Is the molecule polar, yes or no? What 3D shape does this molecule have? What are the bond angles in this shape?arrow_forwardDispersion forces are produced when an electronegative atom pulls on the electron of a hydrogen atom so much that the proton of the hydrogen can closely interact with the electronegative atom of another molecule electronegative atoms pull electrons toward one area of the molecule, creating regions of partial positive and partial negative charge that are attracted to regions of other molecules with the opposite charge electrons are transferred from one atom to another to produce anions and cations that are then held together in a rigid lattice electrons in molecular compounds are constantly moving and produce short-term regions of positive and negative charge that are attracted to regions of other molecules with the opposite chargearrow_forwardWrite the Lewis structure for each molecule/ion.

- Answer the questions in the table below about the shape of the phosphorus tetrafluoride (PF ) anion. How many electron groups are around the central phosphorus atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central phosphorus atom? (You may need to use the scrollbar to see all the choices.) v (choose one) linear bent T-shaped trigonal planar trigonal pyramidal square planar square pyramidal tetrahedral sawhorse trigonal bipyramidal octahedral Oarrow_forwardWhat possible error(s) exist in the Lewis structure (assume we are trying to represent the best possible Lewis structure for the NO₂S ion knowing N is the central atom in this polyatomic ion)? [:ö==S: N= CO :O: The best structure would have double bond and two lone pairs on each oxygen atom and a single bond with three lone pairs on the sulfur. There are no errors. This is the best possible structure. The Lewis structure above does not minimize formal charges, thus is the not the best possible structure. The nitrogen atom has an expanded octet, and this structure is impossible. The Lewis structure contains the wrong number of electrons, thus this structure is impossible.arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwriting solutionarrow_forward
