Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether element 1 has higher electronegative value than that of element 2 should be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Close relationship between ionic and covalent bonding models becomes apparent if the bond polarity and electronegativity is considered. Electronegativity is the measure of relative attractive for the shared pair of electrons in a bond. Higher the electronegative value for an atom, the more it attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
In Periodic table, when moving from left to right in a period, the electronegativity value increases. While moving from top to bottom within group, the electronegativity value decreases. Nonmetals have higher electronegativity values than metals. Metals gives electrons and nonmetals accepts electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether element 4 has higher electronegative value than that of element 5 should be indicated.

- Which statements are true about electronegativity? (a) Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period of the Periodic Table. (b) Electronegativity increases from top to bottom in a column of the Periodic Table. (c) Hydrogen, the element with the lowest atomic number, has the smallest electronegativity. (d) The higher the atomic number of an element, the greater its electronegativity.arrow_forward• define electronegativity and state how electronegativity varies with position in the periodic table.arrow_forwardA polyatomic ion is composed of C, N, and an unknown element X. The skeletal Lewis structure of this polyatomic ion is [XCN]. The ion X2 has an electron configuration of [Ar]4s23d104p6. What is element X? Knowing the identity of X, complete the Lewis structure of the polyatomic ion, including all important resonance structures.arrow_forward
- For each of the following pairs of elements, identify which element would be expected to be more electronegative. It should not be necessary to look at a table of actual electronegativity values. msp;a.BeorBab.NorPc.ForClarrow_forwardUsing the patterns evident in a table of electronegativity values, Rb has a higher electronegativity relative to Sr. True or False True Falsearrow_forwardFor the structure CIO3 draw a Lewis structure using Cl as the central atom... For the structure that obeys the octet rule which of the following are correct? There are a total of 26 valence electrons There are a total of 24 valence electrons There are a total of 25 valence electrons OCI has one lone pair of electrons CI makes a double bond to one of the oxygens Each O has a -1 formal charge 20 atoms make a double bond to Cl All 30 atoms make a double bond to Clarrow_forward
- Electronegativity is the ability of an element to pull electrons towards itself in a bond. In a bond, the atom with the greater electronegativity will have a partial charge, and the atom with the lower electronegativity will have a partial charge. Fluorine has the higher/lower electronegativity and Francium has the higher/lower electronegativity. Metals like to gain/lose electrons, while nonmetals like to gain/lose electrons. Thus, metals have a electronegativity, while nonmetals have a electronegativity. a. negative b. positive c. lower d. higher e. lose f. gain g. the same h. none of thesearrow_forwardPlace the bonds in order of increasing polar character. Place the bond with the least polar character at the top and the bond with the most polar character at the bottom.arrow_forward* If two or more atoms have the wrong number of valence electrons around them, just enter the chemical symbol for the atom as many times as necessary. If two oxygen atoms have the wrong number of electrons around them, enter the symbol O twice.arrow_forward
- Why do Period 2 elements never form more than four covalent bonds? Elements in Period 2: O have s, p and d subshells in their outer-most shell. O can hold at most 8 electrons in their outer shell. O can hold at most 18 electrons in their outer shell. O have only an s and p subshells in their outer-most shell. Why are Period 3 elements able to exceed an octet? Elements in Period 3: O can hold at most 8 electrons in their outer shell. O have s, p and d subshells in their outer-most shell. O have only ans and p subshells in their outer-most shell. O can hold at most 18 electrons in their outer shell. NOV tv 16 MacBook Airarrow_forwardEach compound contains both ions and covalent bonds. Draw the Lewis structure for compound.
