Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The name, empirical formula and character (covalent or ionic) of given compound should be identified.
Concept introduction:
A molecule is neutral group of two or more atoms joined together by
Ionic compound is a composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces called as ionic bond. The compound is neutral, it is of consists positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.
Compounds of metals with nonmetals are usually called as ionic, nonmetal-nonmetal compounds are usually molecular

- Which of the following atoms would be expected to form negative ions in binary ionic compounds and which would be expected to form positive ions: P, I, Mg, Cl, In, Cs, O, Pb, Co?arrow_forwardWhich of the following atoms would be expected to form negative ions in binary ionic compounds and which would be expected to form positive ions: Br, Ca, Na, N, F, Al, Sn, S, Cd?arrow_forwardAn ionic compound has the following composition (by mass): Ca, 30.3%; N, 21.2%; O, 48.5%. What are the formula and name of the compound? Write the Lewis formulas for the ions.arrow_forward
- An ionic compound has the following composition (by mass): Mg, 10.9%; Cl, 31.8%; O, 57.3%. What are the formula and name of the compound? Write the Lewis formulas for the ions.arrow_forwardGiven the bonds C N, C H, C Br, and S O, (a) which atom in each is the more electronegative? (b) which of these bonds is the most polar?arrow_forward3. The skeleton of chloromethane is __________________ The central carbon atom is bonded to each of the other atoms by a shared electron pair (represented by a straight line, ___) giving Now, each hydrogen has two electrons and the carbon atom has eight. However, chlorine must be provided with unshared electrons (represented by pairs of dots, ) to complete its octet, thusarrow_forward
- Write all resonance structures of chlorobenzene, C6H5Cl, a molecule with the same cyclic structure as benzene. In all structures, keep the CCl bond as a single bond. Which resonance structures are the most important?arrow_forwardWhat main factors control the magnitude of lattice energies? Give a specific example of a compound that should have a high lattice energy, and explain why its lattice energy is high.arrow_forward7.74 In a lattice, a positive ion is often surrounded by eight negative ions. We might reason, therefore, that the lattice energy should be related to eight times the potential of interaction between these oppositely charged particles. Why is this reasoning too simpler?arrow_forward
- Why do nonmetals tend to form anions rather than cations?arrow_forwardConsider the following compounds: BeCl 2 , MgBr 2 , and SrBr 2 . Answer the following questions based on expected periodic trends: (a) Which is expected to have the shortest ionic bonds? (b) Which is expected to have the highest lattice energy? (c) Which is expected to have the lowest melting point?arrow_forwardIn the vapor phase, BeCl2 exists as a discrete molecule. (a) Draw the Lewis structure of this molecule, using only single bonds. Does this Lewis structure satisfy the octet rule? (b) What other resonance structures are possible that satisfy the octet rule? (c) On the basis of the formal charges, which Lewis structure is expected to be dominant for BeCl2?arrow_forward
