Ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction that binds ions of opposite charges into a stable molecule. Electronegativity difference between the atoms must be greater than
Covalent bond refers to the bond formed between two atoms by mutual sharing of electrons – that each atom shares equal number of electrons between them and the charge distribution (electron) between the two atoms held by covalent bond is symmetrical. The difference in electronegativity between these two atoms is very less or the two atoms have same electronegativity. Electronegativity difference between the atoms must be nil or highly lower than
Polar covalent bond refers to the covalent bond which has polarity caused by unsymmetrical distribution of bonding electrons between the two atoms. When atoms of moderately different electronegativity bonded by mutual sharing of electrons, the atom having more electronegativity tend to pull the electron cloud towards it. This leads to unsymmetrical distribution of electrons between the bonded atoms that one end of the molecule develops slight positive charge and another end of the molecule develops slight negative charge. This is called polarity and such bond is called polar covalent bond.

- For a silver-silver chloride electrode, the following potentials are observed: E°cell = 0.222 V and E(saturated KCl) = 0.197 V Use this information to find the [Cl–] (technically it’s the activity of Cl– that’s relevant here, but we’ll just call it “concentration” for simplicity) in saturated KCl.arrow_forwardA concentration cell consists of two Sn/Sn2+ half-cells. The cell has a potential of 0.10 V at 25 °C. What is the ratio of [Sn2+] (i.e., [Sn2+left-half] / [Sn2+right-half])?arrow_forwardElectrochemical cell potentials can be used to determine equilibrium constants that would be otherwise difficult to determine because concentrations are small.

- Another standard reference electrode is the standard calomel electrode: Hg2Cl2(s) (calomel) + 2e2 Hg() +2 Cl(aq) This electrode is usually constructed with saturated KCI to keep the Cl- concentration constant (similar to what we discussed with the Ag-AgCl electrode). Under these conditions the potential of this half-cell is 0.241 V.
