Why do you think that most textbooks do not consider a hydrogen bond to be an example of a van der Waals force?
The “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds thatatoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills itsouter shell of 8 electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electronstend to donate electrons and those with more than 4 valence electronstend to accept additional electrons; those with exactly 4 can do both.Using this rule, determine what category each of the followingelements falls into: N, S, C, P, O, H, Ca, Fe, and Mg. (You will needto work out the valence of the atoms.)
How does the bond energy of a double bond compare to that of two single bonds between the same elements? How does this relationship explain the types of reactions that compounds with double bonds undergo?
