Interpretation: Find out and explain the type of bonding expected to be present in the compound Lithium Niobate (
Concept Introduction:
There are two types of bonds that can be formed between the atoms:
- Ionic Bond
- Covalent Bond
The ionic bond is formed due to the electrostatic attraction between the ions of opposite charge. An ionic bond is generally formed between a non-metal and a metal that has a very high difference in their properties. An ionic bond is formed when one or more valence shell electrons of an atom are transferred entirely to the valence shell of another atom.
The covalent bond is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the atoms. In case of a covalent bond, one electron from each atom is shared between them to form a bond. A covalent bond is generally formed between the atoms that have similar properties.
When one electron is shared between the atoms, the bond is referred to as a single covalent bond. When two electron and three electrons are shared between the combining atoms, the bond is referred to as double covalent bond and triple covalent bond respectively.

- The bond length in HI(1.62) is close to the sum of the atomic radii of H (0.37 Å) and I (1.33 Å). What does this fact indicate about the polarity of the bond?arrow_forwardTo explain why AHan for RbCl is different than that for KCI, the student investigates factors that affect AHoln and finds that ionic radius and lattice enthalpy (which can be defined as the AH associated with the separation of a solid crystal into gaseous ions) contribute to the process.

The phenomenon shown in the diagram best supports which of the following claims about the bonding in C6H6 ? (A) In the C6H6 molecule, all the bonds between the carbon atoms have the same length. (B) Because of variable bonding between its carbon atoms, C6H6 is a good conductor of electricity. (C) The bonds between carbon atoms in C6H6 are unstable, and the compound decomposes quickly.
