Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The hydrogen exhibits three types of bonding in its compounds is to be described.
Concept Introduction:
The hydrogen bond involves interaction between partial positive-charged hydrogen atoms and more electronegative atoms.
The electronegative atoms could be nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and adjacent atoms that contain a lone pair of electrons.
All those compounds that contain an element linked to hydrogen atom, in which hydrogen is considered a more electronegative species, are known as binary hydrides.
Ionic hydrides are the hydrides in which a hydrogen atom is linked directly with an alkali metal.
Covalent hydrides are the hydridesin which a hydrogen atom is bonded to the atom of another element covalently.
Interstitial hydrides are the hydridesin which a hydrogen atom and a metal are found in constant ratio, which means hydrogen atom is combined to the metal.

How many electron groups are around the central boron atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central boron atom? (You may need to use the scrollbar to see all the choices.) (choose one) X G <arrow_forward1. Match each substance to the type of bond you expect it to have. Hint: Look at the type of elements involved. 2. Draw the Lewis Dot diagram for an element that has 5 valence electrons.

- Please answer question 14 Part A and Barrow_forwardWhat word or two-word phrase best describes the shape of the phosphorus tribromide (PBr3 ) molecule? Xarrow_forwardSilicon is in the same group of the periodic table as carbon and,like carbon, can form up to four single bonds. Many science fiction stories have been based on the premise of silicon-based life. Is this realistic? What characteristics of silicon make it less well adapted than carbon as the central organizing element for life? To answer this question, consider what you have learned about carbon’s bonding versatility, and refer to a beginning inorganic chemistry textbook for silicon’s bonding propertiesarrow_forward
