Chapter 8, Problem 14QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the compound BeCl2 is an ionic compound or not is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Ionic compounds are the compounds that are formed by the transfer of electrons from one element to another. They are usually soluble in water and conduct electricity in molten and aqueous state.

Covalent compounds are the compounds that are formed by sharing of electrons between two atoms. They are usually soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and do not conduct electricity.

A resident expert on electronegativity comes up to visit with you. He makes two claims (seen below) about electronegativity with relation to covalent bonding. Is the expert correct or can you refute him with your knowledge of electronegativity? (a) If a diatomic molecule is made up of atoms X and Y, which have different electronegativities, the molecule must be polar.     (b) The farther two atoms are apart in a bond, the larger the dipole moment will be.
Which of the compounds CH4, SrCl2, Zn(NO3)2, XeF2 are expected to exist as molecules?
10.) The structural formula of a certain aldehyde (related to formaldehyde) is H3C-CH2-CHO.  Draw a Lewis structure for this aldehyde and determine the number of bonds present.  Note that a single or a double or a triple bond counts as one bond. Write the number, not the word.
