Which of the following statements is false concerning bonding? Elements with extremely different electronegativities tend to form ionic bonds with each other. In an N—O bond. electron density is greater near the O atom. An N—O bond is an example of a polar covalent band. In general, chemical bonds form to minimize energy. The bond in KBr is formed by sharing electrons.
Chlorofluorocarbons have been banned because they cause ozone depletion. The main replacements are hydrofluorocarbons, such as CF3CFH2. Draw a Lewis structure for CF3CFH2, determine its geometry, make a sketch of the molecule, and determine whether it is polar. (The two carbons are bonded to each other in the middle of the molecule, and the other atoms are bound to the two central carbon atoms.)
7.30 The bond in HF is said to be polar, with the hydrogen carrying a partial positive charge. For this to be true, the hydrogen atom must have less than one electron around it. Yet the Lewis dot structure of HF attributes two electrons to hydrogen. Draw a picture of the electron density distribution for HF and use it to describe how the hydrogen atom can carry a partial positive charge. How can these two models of the HF bond (the electron density and the Lewis structure) seem so different and yet describe the same thing?
