Question
Chapter 8, Problem 28RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The bonds that are more ionic than covalent among the given bonds are to be determined.
Concept Information:
The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract the electron from another atom to complete the octet on its valence shell is termed as electronegativity.
The molecules formed by the elements in the same division have small electronegativity difference and the bonding between the atoms is more covalent than ionic
The molecules formed by the elements in the different division with large electronegativity difference prefers ionic bonding.
The electronegativity increases from bottom to top in a group and along the period on moving from left to right.
