When atoms react to form chemical bonds, only the electrons in the outermost or
valence shell are involved. Thus, the configuration of the valence shell is important
in bond formation. In order to place emphasis on the electrons in the outermost shell,
a special symbol known as Lewis diagram (also called electron-dot structures) is used.
Assuming that, element P has seven electrons, while element Q has eight electrons.
When element P shared electrons with element Q, it will form an anion.
Illustrate a 'dot and cross' diagram to show the bonding between element P and
element Q.
Based on the diagram, indicate the shape and the angle bond. Explain your answer.
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.
Use the group structure of the periodic table to predict the empirical formulas for the binary compounds that hydrogen forms with the elements germanium, fluorine, tellurium, and bismuth.
