Q

Covalent bonds are between what kinds of metals?

A

nonmetals

22
Q

Covalent compounds can create ______ and _______ and _____?

A

solid, liquid, gas

23
Q

Ionic compounds can create?

A

ONLY SOLIDS

24
Q

What are coordinate covalent bonds?

A

Where one atom supplies more electrons to the bond than the other atom with its bond (one atom does it all one does not)

25
Q

What is electronegativity?

A

is a measure of the relative attraction that an atom has for the shared electrons in a bond

26
Q

What does a polar bond have more of if it is more positive?

A

More pull (pulling in the atom closer to it not getting pulled to the other atom)

27
Q

How does the electronegativity increase across the periodic table?

A

Left to right (left has lower electronegativity and gets stronger as you go to the right)

Bottom to top of the rows (the more bottom the less electronegativity as you go up to the top it has more electronegativity)

28
Q

How can two atoms have a greater/ higher polar bond than others?

A

The greater difference between electronegativity the greater polar bond

29
Q

If molecules with covalent bonds are in a straight line and are symmetrical are they considered polar bonds?

A

No they are not polar the cancel each other out

30
Q

If molecules with covalent bonds are angled in anyway and not symmetrical are they considered polar bonds?

A

yes they are polar bonds

31

33
Q

Which of the following sets of elements is arranged in order of decreasing electronegativity?
O, S, As
Cl, B, F
Br, Cl, P
Be, C, O

A

O, S, As

34
Q

Electronegativity is a concept that is useful along with other concepts in

predicting the polarity of a bond
deciding how many electrons are involved in a bond
formulating a statement of the octet rule
determining the charge on a polyatomic ion

A

predicting the polarity of a bond

35
Q

Which of the following is a molecular compound that contains five atoms per molecule?

germanium tetrabromide
dinitrogen monoxide
dinitrogen pentoxide
nitrogen diselenide

A

germanium tetrabromide

36
Q

Coordinate covalent bonds differ from normal covalent bonds in that:

One atom supplies more electrons to the bond than the other atom.
The electrons of the bond move about in a coordinated pattern.
Atoms involved must always also possess nonbonding electron pairs.
More than one correct response.
No correct response.

A

One atom supplies more electrons to the bond than the other atom.

37
Q

The number of “electron dots” in the Lewis formula for the compound HNO3 is 24.

True or False?

A

true

38
Q

In the molecule N2 there are more bonding electron pairs than nonbonding electron pairs.

True or False?

A

true

39
Q

The greater the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms the greater the polarity of the bond between the two atoms.

True or False?

A

True

40
Q

X-ray crystallography is used to determine the structure of proteins, but first one must grow crystals of the protein then collect diffraction data.

True or False

A

True

41
Q

Which of the following is a polyatomic ion?

OH-
water
NaCl
Cl-

A

OH-

42

2(NH4)CO3
2NH4CO3
(NH4)2CO3
NH4CO3

the formula unit
the molecular density
the ionic unit
the crystalline unit

A

the formula unit

46
Q

(hint: Cobalt is a variable charge metal)

cobalt (II) chloride
cobalt (I) chloride
cobalt (III) chloride
colorado (II) chloride

A

cobalt (II) chloride

47
Q

What are the suffix’s used to name covalent compounds? (1-8)

A

1 mono
2 di
3 tri
4 tetra
5 penta
6 hexa
7 hepta
8 octa

48
Q

Which atom has a larger electronegativity based on the amount of shells they have? Ba or Na?

A

Na because it only has 3 shells

49
Q

How can you tell if an atom will have more electronegativity based on its shells?

A

the least shells = more electronegativity

50
Q

How do you name binary molecular compounds?

A

the first atom has no subscript just sat it normal, but if it has a subscript then you have to use di, tri, tetra, etc. for the second atom you need to ALWAYS use mono, di, tri, or tetra to name the second atom.
(some examples N2O- dinitrogen monoxide, CO2- carbon dioxide)
