Chapter 11, Problem 11.22E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given structure is correct or not is to be determined. The reason is to be explained if the structure is incorrect.

Concept introduction:

The covalent bond is formed by the sharing of the electrons between the atoms to achieve the stable electron configuration. The covalent bond can be either polar or nonpolar depending on the electronegativity difference between the atoms.
