For each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular compound held together by covalent chemical bonds. If the elements will form a molecular compound, check the box and enter the chemical formula and name of the compound. (If the elements will form more than one molecular compound, use the compound with the fewest total number of atoms.) You may assume all chemical bonds are single bonds, not double or triple bonds. element pair molecular compound will form a molecular element #1 element #2 chemical name compound formula ? hydrogen chlorine oxygen hydrogen magnesium bromine
Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be neutral atoms.
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms. Water, as we all know has two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. As oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen thus, there exists polarity in the bonds which is why water is known as a polar solvent.
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the formation of covalent bonds with the help of wavefunctions using attractive and repulsive energies when two atoms are brought from infinity to their internuclear distance.

**Instructions:**
For each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular compound held together by covalent chemical bonds. If the elements will form a molecular compound, check the box and enter the chemical formula and name of the compound. (If the elements will form more than one molecular compound, use the compound with the fewest total number of atoms.)
You may assume all chemical bonds are single bonds, not double or triple bonds.

**Graph/Diagram Description:**
- There is no graph or diagram associated with this table. The described table is intended for entry by users, where they need to check a box and fill out the chemical formula and name of the compound formed when the two elements combine.
- The table rows include pairs of elements, a checkbox to indicate if they form a compound, and fields to enter the chemical formula and compound name.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd721da83-b4b0-4147-870c-79c150dacba8%2F6aac81ed-c33e-4f92-8a66-526e9826fabb%2Fdrjb1el_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
