32
Q

How can covalent bonds be represented by?

A

By lines or wedges

33
Q

What determines whether the bond is ionic or covalent?

A

Electronegativity

34
Q

What is electronegativity?

A

Ability of an atom to pull electrons towards itself

35
Q

Finish the sentence:

An atom with a high electronegativity pulls electrons…

A

more strongly towards itself

36
Q

In which direction does does electronegativity increase on the period table?

A
  • horizontally left to right

- vertically down to up

37
Q

What is the Pauling scale of electronegativity?

A

Increase electronegativity across the periodic table

38
Q

What does electronegativity depend on?

A
  • Nuclear charge
  • Atomic radius
  • Electron shielding
39
Q

What does an atom need to have high electronegativity?

A
  • Higher nuclear charge
  • Small atomic radius
  • Low amount of shielding
40
Q

If the difference in values of electronegativity is greater than 1.7 is it more likely to form covalent or ionic bonds?

A

Ionic bonds

41
Q

If the difference in values of electronegativity is less than 1.7 is it more likely to form covalent or ionic bonds?

A

Covalent bonds

42
Q

If the difference in values of electronegativity is equal to 1.7 what bond is it more likely to form?

A

Polar covalent bond

43
Q

Why is hydrogen chloride a special case?

A
  • Gaseous form are polar covalently bonded
  • Aqueous form ionises completely to give cation and anions
  • Electronegativity difference is 0.9
