Chapter 3, Problem 11ALQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The point of difference between the bond formed between $\text{Na}$, $\text{Cl}$ and $\text{C}$, $\text{O}$ is to be explained. The bond between $\text{N}\text{and}\text{N}$ is to be commented upon.

Concept introduction: The sharing of the electron pairs between the atoms leads to the formation of a covalent bond, whereas the bond formed between two atoms by the electrostatic interactions is known as an ionic bond.

To determine: The distinction bond formed between $\text{Na}$, $\text{Cl}$ and $\text{C}$, $\text{O}$. Explain the $\text{N}\text{and}\text{N}$ bond.
