Chapter 2, Problem 2TMW

Chlorine and potassium atoms form ionic bonds, carbon atoms form nonpolar covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms, and oxygen forms polar covalent bonds with phosphorus. Explain why these bonds are the types they are.

The “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds thatatoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills itsouter shell of 8 electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electronstend to donate electrons and those with more than 4 valence electronstend to accept additional electrons; those with exactly 4 can do both.Using this rule, determine what category each of the followingelements falls into: N, S, C, P, O, H, Ca, Fe, and Mg. (You will needto work out the valence of the atoms.)
Polar covalent bonds can be found in water molecules. Define or describe this type of bond.
:0-H-1--:N-H Hydrogen Bond Which statement best helps explain the formation of the hydrogen bond represented in the figure? A The oxygen has a partial positive charge, and the nitrogen has a partial negative charge. (B) The nitrogen has a partial negative charge, and the hydrogen attached to the oxygen has a partial positive charge.
