Chapter 22, Problem 22.42SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether ${\text{B}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}$ is molecular or have extended three dimentional structure needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The covalent compounds are formed by non-metals and metals form ionic compounds. On moving from left to right in a periodic table, the non-metallic character increases and it decreases on moving from top to bottom in a group.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether ${\text{KAlSi}}_3{\text{O}}_8$ is molecular or have extended three dimentional structure needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The covalent compounds are formed by non-metals and metals form ionic compounds. On moving from left to right in a periodic table, the non-metallic character increases and it decreases on moving from top to bottom in a group.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Whether ${\text{SO}}_3$ is molecular or have extended three dimentional structure needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The covalent compounds are formed by non-metals and metals form ionic compounds. On moving from left to right in a periodic table, the non-metallic character increases and it decreases on moving from top to bottom in a group.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Whether ${\text{GeCl}}_{\text{4}}$ is molecular or have extended three dimentional structure needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The covalent compounds are formed by non-metals and metals form ionic compounds. On moving from left to right in a periodic table, the non-metallic character increases and it decreases on moving from top to bottom in a group.
