What is the principle of electroneutrality? (Select all that apply.) O The principle of electroneutrality states that the electrons in a molecule are distributed in such a way that the charges on the atoms are as close to zero as possible and that when a positive charge occurs, it should be placed on the most electropositive atom.

7.30 The bond in HF is said to be polar, with the hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge. For this to be true, the hydrogen atom must have less than one electron around it. Yet the Lewis dot structure of HF attributes two electrons to hydrogen. Draw a picture of the electron density distribution for HF and use it to describe how the hydrogen atom can carry a partial positive charge. How can these two models of the HF bond (the electron density and the Lewis structure) seem so different and yet describe the same thing?
3. The skeleton of chloromethane is __________________ The central carbon atom is bonded to each of the other atoms by a shared electron pair (represented by a straight line, ___) giving Now, each hydrogen has two electrons and the carbon atom has eight. However, chlorine must be provided with unshared electrons (represented by pairs of dots, ) to complete its octet, thus
