Which statement is always true according to VSEPR theory?(a) The shape of a molecule is determined only by repulsions among bonding electron groups.(b) The shape of a molecule is determined only by repulsions among nonbonding electron groups.(c) The shape of a molecule is determined by the polarity of its bonds.(d) The shape of a molecule is determined by repulsions among all electron groups on the central atom (or interior atoms, if there is more than one).
Why does Mg have a relatively low first and second ionization energies? A) Because the first and second ionization energies remove the valence electrons to form the stable noble gas configuration B) Because Mg is a nonmetal, and nonmetals are electronegative C) Because the first and second ionization energies remove the electrons that are the closest to the nucleus D) Because Mg does not like to lose electrons E) Because the first and second ionization energies remove the core electrons that are stable
Have each member of your group represent an atom of a metal or an atom of a nonmetal. Each group member holds a coin to represent an electron. Which group members are most reluctant to give up their electrons? Which group members are most willing to give up their electrons? Determine which kind of bond could form between each pair of group members. Tabulate your results.
