Chapter 2, Problem 6WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The nonpolar molecules such as CH4 participate in hydrogen bonds.
Introduction:
The molecule methane is made of atoms that are joined by covalent bonds. For example, in methane (CH4), a carbon atom contains 6 electrons, in which 2 presents in the innermost shell and the remaining 4 presents in the valence shell. This carbon atom becomes stable by sharing the electrons with 4 hydrogen atoms as per the octet rules, i.e., all atoms in a molecule need 8 electrons in the valence shell, either by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons, to get stable.

- 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.
