Chapter 8, Problem 21Q
When comparing the size of different ions, the general radii trend discussed in Chapter 2 is usually not very useful. What do you concentrate on when comparing sizes of ions to each other or when comparing the size of an ion to its neutral atom?

While investigating the properties of other diatomic molecules, the student finds the diagram below, which shows the potential energy of two iodine atoms versus the distance between their nuclei. The student also finds that the I-I bond energy is slightly less than the F-F bond energy. The student incorrectly sketches the potential energy curve for two fluorine atoms, shown by the dotted line in the diagram.
You are trying to draw some Lewis structures for molecules based on some notes that a friend gave you. Unfortunately, your friend has very bad handwriting, so you can't read everything properly, especially the elemental symbols. You decide to write a shorthand for yourself, and you know that element Q has 4 valence electrons, element R has 5 valence electrons, element T has 6 valence electrons, and element X has 7 valence electrons.
Determine the shape of each of the following molecules from what you know about their valence electrons. Choose the shape for each one from the dropdown menu.
The molecule QX4 has a shape of
The molecule RX3 has a shape of
The molecule QTX2 has a shape of
Chemical bonds are usually classified as either covalent or ionic.
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons. The resulting cluster of atoms is called a molecule, and the compound is considered to be molecular.
An ionic bond results from a transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another. This creates oppositely charged ions that group together into large macroscopic lattices as opposed to small clusters. For this reason, ionic compounds are not considered to be molecular.
As a general rule, covalent bonds occur between two nonmetal atoms whereas ionic bonds occur between a metal and a nonmetal atom.

- Part C Bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. On the potential energy curve, the bond length is the internuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Consider that the atomic radius (sometimes called the covalent or bonding atomic radius) of an element is defined as one-half the distance between the bonded atoms in a homonuclear diatomic molecule. Actual bond lengths in molecules are determined experimentally by such methods as X-ray diffraction and microwave spectroscopy. However, these atomic radii values can be used to give an estimate of the upper limit of bond length in other (heteronuclear) molecules. Given that the atomic radii of H and F are 37.0 pm and 72.0 pm, respectively, predict the upper limit of the bond length of the HF molecule. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) Bond length upper limit= Submit μÅ Value…arrow_forwardThe ionic radii of element E and a different metallic element, M, are shown in the following table: Both elements form oxides, E2O and MO.

Justify your answer in terms of Coulomb's lawarrow_forwardCarbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties? The key difference is that diamonds have other elements bonded within their structure. The differences are explained by the number of covalent and ionic bonds within each substance. The differences are explained by the density: graphite is very high and diamond is much lower. The differences are explained by how the carbon atoms within each substance are covalently bonded together.arrow_forward
