- Use the information in the table to answer the question. Bond Bond Energy(kJ/mol) C-H 413 H-O 459 C-Cl 327 N-H 391 Which molecule has the greatest bond energy? CCl4 NH4 H2O CH4arrow_forwardHave each member of your group select one of the molecules and complete steps a–d. Have members present their results to the rest of the group, explaining the reasoning they used to determine their answers. CS2 NCl3 CF4 CH2F2 a. Draw the Lewis structure.b. Determine the molecular geometry and draw it accurately.c. Indicate the polarity of any polar bonds within the structure.d. Classify the molecule as polar or nonpolar.arrow_forwardIn which of the molecular models in Figure 8 does the carbon atom have the largest partial positive charge? * A B C The charge is evenly distributed over each of the moleculesarrow_forward
- 30) How is polarity of a bond determined? a) by guessing b) by its placement on the periodic table c) by molecular shape d) by color e) by the difference in electronegativity between two elements in a bondarrow_forwardRepresent the following molecules by Lewis structures: a. CH4 each H atom is bonded to the C atom b. CO2 each O atom is bonded to the C atom c. H2Se each H atom is bonded to the Se atom d. NH3 the H atom is bonded to the N atomarrow_forwardThink of forming an ionic compound as three steps (this is a simplification, as with all models): (I) removing an electron from the metal; (2) adding an electron to the nonmetal; and (3) allowing the metal cation and nonmetal anion to come together. a. What is the sign of the energy change for each of these three processes? b. In general, what is the sign of the sum of the first two processes? Use examples to support your answer. c. What must be the sign of the sum of the three process d. Given your answer to part c, why do ionic bonds occur? e. Given your above explanations, why is NaCl stable but not Na2Cl? NaCl2? What about MgO compared to MgO2? Mg2O?arrow_forward
- Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas react violently to form water. When this occurs, a very loud noise is heard. Draw the Lewis structures for hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and water. State whether each molecule is polar or nonpolar and why. Explain how the polarity of these molecules is related to hydrogen and oxygen existing in the gas phase at room temperature and water existing in the liquid phase at room temperature. Which is lower in energy for this reaction a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases or water? How do you know this is true?arrow_forwardFor each pair of bonds, indicate the more polar bond, and use an arrow to show the direction of polarity in each bond. (a) CO and CN (b) PBr and PCl (c) BO and BS (d) BI and BIarrow_forward
