Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given compounds should be arranged in a specific order for that which property should be considered. We have to discuss it in detail. Also, the given compound rank should be determined so that we have to arrange it in the order starting from the most ionic to least.
Concept Introduction:
No bond can be 100% ionic. Every ionic bond will have a small amount of covalent character in it. Such covalent character of the compounds which are ionic is described with the help of Fajan's rule. Fajan's rule states that the covalent character of a molecule gets increased by the polarization of the anion by the cation.
When a cation exerts a force to distort the anion's electron cloud, it is called the polarizing power.The anion's tendency to get polarized is termed as polarisability. Hence, when there is a greater polarization, there is a more covalent character.

- 7.15 Covalently bonded compounds tend to have much lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds. How can the differences between ionic and covalent bonding explain this observation?arrow_forwardCompare the properties of an ionic material such as sodium chloride with a room-temperature ionic liquid. Explain this difference.arrow_forwardn your own words, what is meant by the term electronegativity? What are the trends across and down the periodic table for electronegativity?

(a) How large would the lattice energy need to be for the formation of NaCl2 to be exothermic? (b) If we were to estimate the lattice energy of NaCl2 to be roughly equal to that of MgCl2 (2326 kJ/mol from Table 8.1), what value would you obtain for the standard enthalpy of formation, AH, of NaCl2?arrow_forward
- For coordinate covalent bonds: What is a coordinate covalent bond? Use Lewis structures to show how H+ and NH3 form a coordinate covalent bond resulting in NH4+ (i.e. write out the reaction using Lewis structures). Why is it tough to recognize the coordinate covalent bond in NH4+? What is one way to recognize that something has a coordinate covalent compound? Why are they so important?arrow_forward7aarrow_forward5.
