Which of the following elements has six valence electrons?

O

What it the main difference between an ionic and a covalent bond?

One is the sharing of a pair of electrons, the other is the transfer of at least one electron.

Classify these molecules as polar or nonpolar.

Polar - H2S, CH3Br, HF Nonpolar - BBR3, CH4, H2

Which should be larger, the potassium atom, K, or the potassium ion, K+?

The potassium atom, K, with an additional shell of electrons is larger.

What is happening at the molecular level when a polar molecule like water interacts with a typical sodium ion?

The water molecule aligns such that the oxygen interacts with the sodium.

For neutral molecules, which statements about covalent electron-dot structures are true?

True - Electrons of covalent compounds may be shared between atoms, For a neutral molecule, the number of electrons in the electron-dot structure is the sum of the valence electrons for the atoms. False - Hydrogen atoms are often the central atom of an electron-dot structure, Each atom of an electron-dot structure must have eight electrons.
