QUESTION 9
M20 and Nm20 are two compound, where M is a metal and Nm is a nonmetal. The Nm-O bond
has an electronegativity difference of 1.4. Which of the two compounds is most likely a solid at
room temperature?
O A. Nm20 is most likely a solid as it has a dipole-dipole which is weaker than the ionic bonding
in M20.
O B. Can not be determined from the information provided.
OC Nm20 is most likely a solid as it has an ionic bonding which is stronger than the dipole-
dipole force in M20.
O D. M20 is most likely a solid as it has an ionic bonding which is stronger than the dipole-dipole
force in Nm20.
