Chapter 9, Problem 9.65P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bonds in $\text{KCl}$ are ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent in nature is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

An ionic bond is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. A polar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of different electronegativity while the nonpolar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of similar electronegativity.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bonds in ${\text{P}}_4$ are ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent in nature is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

An ionic bond is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. A polar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of different electronegativity while the nonpolar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of similar electronegativity.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bonds in ${\text{BF}}_3$ are ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent in nature is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

An ionic bond is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. A polar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of different electronegativity while the nonpolar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of similar electronegativity.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bonds in ${\text{SO}}_2$ are ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent in nature is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

An ionic bond is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. A polar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of different electronegativity while the nonpolar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of similar electronegativity.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bonds in ${\text{Br}}_2$ are ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent in nature is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

An ionic bond is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. A polar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of different electronegativity while the nonpolar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of similar electronegativity.

(f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bonds in ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ are ionic, nonpolar covalent, or polar covalent in nature is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

An ionic bond is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. A polar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of different electronegativity while the nonpolar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of similar electronegativity.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The order of increasing bond polarity among the following compound is to be determined.

${\text{BF}}_3,{\text{SO}}_2,{\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$

Concept introduction:

An ionic bond is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. A polar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of different electronegativity while the nonpolar covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between nonmetals of similar electronegativity.
