Chapter 1, Problem 54PP

a.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The most electronegative element in ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{OCH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{NH}}_{\text{2}}$ should be identified.

Concept Introduction: The ability of an atom to attract the bonded electrons in a bond is said to be electronegativity. The three general categories that emerge from the electronegativity values of atoms in a bond are categorized as: covalent, polar covalent, and ionic.

b.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The most electronegative element in ${\text{CH}}_2{\text{ClCH}}_{\text{2}}\text{F}$ should be identified.

Concept Introduction: The ability of an atom to attract the bonded electrons in a bond is said to be electronegativity. The three general categories that emerge from the electronegativity values of atoms in a bond are categorized as: covalent, polar covalent, and ionic.

c.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The most electronegative element in ${\text{CH}}_3\text{Li}$ should be identified.

Concept Introduction: The ability of an atom to attract the bonded electrons in a bond is said to be electronegativity. The three general categories that emerge from the electronegativity values of atoms in a bond are categorized as: covalent, polar covalent, and ionic.
