The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds b…

Polarizability In Organic Chemistry

Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.

Coordinate Covalent Bonds

A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate…

1. How can you tell if a compound is covalent? 2. What distinguishes a covalent bond from an ionic bond? 3. How do you know how many valence electrons an atom has? 4. What is electronegativity? Is electronegativity a property of atoms or bonds? 5. What is polarity? Is polarity a property of atoms or bonds? 6. Describe in detail the N-F bond in terms of the relevant electronegativities and polarities. 7. What does VSEPR stand for and how does it allow one to predict the shapes of covalent molecules?

2. Avogadro does not "waste" his time drawing a Lewis structure before determining the shape of PF3. He thinks that the shape of PF3 must be trigonal planar because there are three fluorine atoms bonded to the central phosphorus atom. a. Draw the Lewis structure for PF3. b. Was Avogadro's answer for the shape of a PF3 molecule correct? Explain c. Why is it important to draw the Lewis structure for a molecule before identifying the shape of the molecule? 3. Draw the Lewis structure of ozone, O3. Describe why ozone has a bent shape instead of a linear shape.
