Chapter 13, Problem 117AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The more energetically stable compound in $\text{NaBr}$ and ${\text{NaBr}}_{\text{2}}$ needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

An atom tend to share the valence electrons to form the chemical bond with other elements. The sharing of valence electrons forms covalent bond whereas the gain or loss of valence electrons form ionic bond.

The bonded atoms in a compound get octet configuration by bond formation either covalent or ionic bond. An ionic compound is formed by cation and anion which have opposite charges on it.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The more energetically stable compound in ${\text{ClO}}_{\text{4}}$ and ${\text{ClO}}_{{}_{\text{4}}}^{-}$ needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

An atom tend to share the valence electrons to form the chemical bond with other elements. The sharing of valence electrons forms covalent bond whereas the gain or loss of valence electrons form ionic bond.

The bonded atoms in a compound get octet configuration by bond formation either covalent or ionic bond. An ionic compound is formed by cation and anion which have opposite charges on it.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The more energetically stable compound in ${\text{SO}}_{\text{4}}$ and ${\text{XeO}}_{{}_{\text{4}}}^{}$ needs to be determined.
