Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Chapter 8, Problem 130A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of shared electrons and group of atoms which form single, double and triple covalent bonds needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In covalent compounds, atoms are bonded with covalent bonds which are formed by equal sharing of electrons. The valence electrons involve in the covalent bond formation and formation of covalent bond provides the octet configuration to the bonded atoms.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 130A

Type of covalent bond Number of shared electrons Group number
Single 2 Group-17
Double 4 Group-16
Triple 6 Group-15

Explanation of Solution

Since each chemical bond is formed by 2 electrons therefore:

Type of covalent bond Number of shared electrons
Single 2
Double 4
Triple 6

The atoms which involves in the single, double and triple covalent bonds must have group-15, 16 and 17. As group-17 elements have 7 valence electrons so they need one more electron to get octet therefore they must form single covalent bond whereas group-16 elements have 6 valence electrons and need 2 more electrons to get octet. The group-15 elements have 5 valence electrons and need 3 more electrons to get octet configuration.

Type of covalent bond Number of shared electrons Group number
Single 2 Group-17
Double 4 Group-16
Triple 6 Group-15
Conclusion

Thus,

Type of covalent bond Number of shared electrons Group number
Single 2 Group-17
Double 4 Group-16
Triple 6 Group-15
