Chapter 12, Problem 31CR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The term covalent bonding and polar covalent bonding should be defined. The two types of bonding should be compared. The circumstances that exist for a bond to be purely covalent should be discussed. The difference between polar covalent and ionic bond should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The matter surrounding us mainly composed of “Mixtures”. Mixtures contain “Compounds” which composed of atoms from different elements bound together. The way in which atoms are bound together has a significant effect on chemical and physical properties of substances. Understanding the nature of chemical bonding and the factors that control the structures of compounds is important to understand the behavior of natural materials. The group of two or more atoms come closer to each other by a force known as “Bond”.
