Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The compound that has non-polar covalent bond has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Non-polar covalent bonds: A covalent bond between atoms with the same electronegativity.
Example:
The atoms share the bonding electrons in the above molecules equally; that is each electron spends as much time in the vicinity of one atom as in that of the other. Such a bond is called as non-polar covalent bond.
The greater the difference in electronegativity between the atoms forming the bond, the closer the bond is to the ionic end of the continuum.
(b)
Interpretation:
The compound that has a bond closest to the ionic end of the bond spectrum has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Polar covalent bonds: A covalent bond between atoms with the different electronegativity. Polar covalent bond has slight positive charge one end and negative charge on the other end. The negative end is the end that has more electronegative atom.
Non-polar covalent bonds: A covalent bond between atoms with the same electronegativity.
The atoms share the bonding electrons in the above molecules equally; that is each electron spends as much time in the vicinity of one atom as in that of the other. Such a bond is called as non-polar covalent bond.
Example:
The greater the difference in electronegativity between the atoms forming the bond, the closer the bond is to the ionic end of the continuum.

The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
