Chemistry Quiz - chapter 5 (compounds and their bonds part 2)
False Correct answer: True
An atom of a given element forms a covalent bond in order to get a full outer shell of valence electrons, like the Noble gases.
False Correct answer: True
Covalent compounds made up of non-metals and non-metals; whereas an ionic compound must have a metal and a non-metal.
False Correct answer: True
Covalent compounds with two atoms of the same element such as O2 are called diatomic elements or molecular elements.
A polar covalent bond exists when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons in a covalent bond. Consider the hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule. Each atom in HCl requires one more electron to form an inert gas electron configuration. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, but the chlorine atom's attraction for electrons is not sufficient to remove an electron from hydrogen. Consequently, the bonding electrons in hydrogen chloride are shared unequally in a polar covalent bond.
Explain clearly why you chose the molecule HCl to be polar or non-polar in the previous answer. Use the electronegativity value of the atoms to explain your answer.
Polar molecule with 1 polar bond. Non-polar molecule with 1 polar bond. Non-polar molecule with 5 polar bonds. Correct answer: Polar molecule with 2 polar bonds.
How many polar bonds does the water, H2O, have? Is the molecule polar or non-polar?
46.068 11 8 Correct answer: 20
How many valence electrons does ethanol, C2H6O, have?
0 5 10 Correct answer: 8
How many valence electrons does neon have?
No answer text provided. Non-polar Correct answer: Polar
Is the molecule HCl non-polar or polar?
False Correct answer: True
Not all atoms have octet ,complete outer shell of valance electrons like noble gas. Beryllium , Be, and boron, B, atoms are exceptions to the octet rule. Beryllium requires only 4 electrons, and Boron requires only 6 electrons.
a nonpolar molecule with nonpolar bonds a polar molecule with polar bonds. a polar molecule with nonpolar bonds. Correct answer: a nonpolar molecule with polar bonds.
