Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the given pair of bonds, the bond with more polarity has to be identified. Also, the atom that attracts electrons more towards itself in the polar compound has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Polar molecules possess charge separation in them, which arises due to the difference in the electronegativities between the atoms in a molecule. So, polar molecules possess a permanent dipole moment in them. Increase in difference between electronegativity of two bonded atoms increases polar nature of the bond.
(b)
Interpretation:
From the given pair of bonds, the bond with more polarity has to be identified. Also, the atom that attracts electrons more towards itself in the polar compound has to be given.

Chemistry In Context
- Draw a curve that describes the energy of a system with H and Cl atoms at varying distances. Then, find the minimum energy of this curve two ways. (a) Use the bond energy found in Table 8.1 to calculate the energy for one single HCl bond (Hint: How many bonds are in a mole?) (b) Use the enthalpy of reaction and the bond energies for H2 and Cl2 to solve for the energy of one mole of HCl bonds. H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)Hrxn=184.7kJ/molarrow_forwardWhich statement(s) is/are true about bond enthalpy? (a) The bond energy for a triple bond between A and B is three times that of a single bond between A and B. (b) H for the breaking of a bond is always a negative number. (c) Energy is required to make a bond. (d) Bond enthalpy is defined only for bonds broken or formed in the gaseous state. (e) The presence of bonds does not influence the geometry of a molecule. However, the presence of bonds affects the value of the bond enthalpy between two atoms.arrow_forward7.97 Consider the structure shown below for as well as any other important resonance structures. (a) What is the expected O—N—O bond angle in this structure? (b) The molecule contains N—O bonds of two different lengths. How many sborter N—O bonds would be present?arrow_forward

Explain. b Is the bond enthalpy of X2 a positive or a negative quantity? Why? c Suppose H for the reaction is 500 kJ/mol. Estimate the bond enthalpy of the X2 molecule. d Another hypothetical molecular compound, Y2(g), has a bond enthalpy of 750 kJ/mol, and the molecular compound XY(g) has a bond enthalpy of 1500 kJ/mol. Using bond enthalpy information, calculate H for the following reaction. X2(g)+Y2(g)2XY(g) e Given the following information, as well as the information previously presented, predict whether or not the hypothetical ionic compound AX is likely to form. In this compound, A forms the A+ cation, and X forms the X anion. Be sure to justify your answer. Reaction: A(g)+12X2(g)AX(s)The first ionization energy of A(g) is 400 kJ/mol.
