26
Q

Trivia

What causes the Beirut explosion on August 4, 2020?

A

Detonation of ammonium nitrate

2 NH4NO3(s) –> 2 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g) + O2(g)

27
Q

What is the structure of ionic compund?

A

Crystalline structure

28
Q

The transfer of electrons is from___ to ___

A

Metal to nonmetal

29
Q

True or False

The transfer of electrons from metal to non-metal should be one at a time.

A

True

One at a time until the non-metal element achieve its octet state.

30
Q

Sharing of electrons bonding

A

Covalent/ Molecular Bonding

It happens between two non-metals. Organic molecules are joined by this.

31
Q

What type of covalent bond?

Shared by two identical non-metals and equal sharing of electrons occurs

A

Non-Polar Covalent

aka Pure covalent bond

32
Q

Why covalent bonding happens?

A

Because of Carbon

C has 4 ve- that is better shared than transfered to spend less energy.

33
Q

What is the thermodynamic penalty?

A

High ionization energy requirement

Like the ionization energy requirement of Cabon (4+) to achieve octet.

34
Q

What do you call to unshared electrons?

A

Lone pairs

35
Q

Single covalent bond is called ____

A

Sigma bond

36
Q

Also represent a structure but with no visible lone pairs; only line bonds

A

What is the bond of C-H?

A

Non-Polar

45
Q

Is Hydrogen (H) a metal or nonmental?

A

Nonmetal

It only belongs to Group IA because of its electron configuration.

46
