Chemical Bonding And Molecular Geometry

Question 1

What is the trend of electron affinity on the periodic table?

Answer 1

Increases as you go up to the right

Question 2

Which atom is assigned the partial negative charge? And which one is assigned the partial positive charge?

Answer 2

The more electronegative one and the less electronegative one

Question 3

Covalent

Answer 3

Between two non-metals

Question 4

Formal charge equation

Answer 4

Valence electrons of atom-electrons assigned to atom=formal charge

Question 5

Is H-Cl a polar or non polar molecule?

Answer 5

It is a polar molecule because their dipole moments do not cancel out. There is a net dipole moment so it is polar.

Question 6

Ionic compound

Answer 6

A metal and a non metal
