Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given compound is to be identified as either an ionic compound (i.e., one containing ionic bonds) or a covalent compound (i.e., one containing only covalent bonds).
Concept introduction:
If elements in a compound have large electronegativity differences, ionic bonding can occur. A more electronegative atom acquires electrons given up by a less electronegative atom forming oppositely charged ions. The electrostatic attraction between the positively charged cations and negatively charged anions forms the ionic bond. Most ionic compounds consist of a metal (the elements from left side of the periodic table) and a non metal (the elements from right side of the periodic table), whereas most covalent compounds consist of nonmetals only.

- Below are two sets of resonance structures. Where applicable provide the missing curved arrow notation, lone pair electrons, and nonzero formal charge. Do not delete or add any bonds or atoms.arrow_forwardplease solvearrow_forwardProblem Draw Lewis structures for the following:(a) Ethylene (C2H4), the most important reactant in the manufacture of polymers(b) Nitrogen (N2), the most abundant atmospheric gasPlan We show the structure resulting from steps 1 to 4: placing the atoms, counting the total valence electrons, making single bonds, and distributing the remaining valence electrons in pairs to attain octets. Then we continue with step 5, if needed.arrow_forward
