Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Bonds formed between N and O should be classified as polar covalent or ionic based on the electronegativity of atoms.

Concept Introduction:

The electronegativity of atoms defines the bond characteristics, as the electron distribution of the bond can be predicted by electronegativity. Electronegativity is tendency to pull bond electrons towards an atom. Electronegativity difference between bonded atoms defines the nature of bond as stated in the following table.

Electronegativity differenceType of bondElectron distribution in bond.
0.5 >NonpolarElectrons are equally distributed.
0.5 -1.9Polar covalentElectrons are unequally distributed between bonded atoms. (more electrons towards more electronegative atom).
1.9≤Ionic Electron has been donated to the more electronegative atom from less electronegative atom.

Answer to Problem 64P

The bond between N and O atom is polar covalent.

Explanation of Solution

The electronegativity of N and O atom is 3.0 and 3.5 respectively. The electronegativity difference will be 0.5.

Since,

0.5 >NonpolarElectrons are equally distributed.
0.5 -1.9Polar covalentElectrons are unequally distributed between bonded atoms. (more electrons towards more electronegative atom).
1.9 ≤Ionic Electron has been donated to the more electronegative atom from less electronegative atom.

Thus, the bond will be polar covalent in nature.

Answer to Problem 64P

The bond between O and H atom is polar covalent.

Explanation of Solution

The electronegativity of O and H atom is 3.5 and 2.1 respectively. The electronegativity difference will be 1.4.

Since,
