(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound aluminum chloride is held together by ionic or covalent bond is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The bond which occurs due to the electrostatic attraction in the oppositely charged ions is known as an ionic bond. The compounds that are formed by ionic bonds are known as ionic compounds. The atom which loses the electron is known as cation and the atom which gains the electron is known as anion.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound water is held together by ionic or covalent bond is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The covalent bond is formed by the sharing of the electrons between the atoms to achieve the stable electron configuration. The covalent bond is classified into three categories, single, double or triple bond.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound sulfur trioxide is held together by ionic or covalent bond is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The covalent bond is formed by the sharing of the electrons between the atoms to achieve the stable electron configuration. The covalent bond is classified into three categories, single, double or triple bond.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound iron
Concept introduction:
The bond which occurs due to the electrostatic attraction in the oppositely charged ions is known as an ionic bond. The compounds that are formed by ionic bonds are known as ionic compounds. The atom which loses the electron is known as cation and the atom which gains the electron is known as anion.

- 3-78 Nitrous oxide, N20, laughing gas, is a colorless, nontoxic, tasteless, and odorless gas. It is used as an inhalation anesthetic in dental and other surgeries. Because nitrous oxide is soluble in vegetable oils (fats), it is used commercially as a propellant in whipped toppings Nitrous oxide dissolves in fats. The gas is added under pressure to cans of whipped topping. When the valve is opened, the gas expands, thus expanding (whipping) the topping and forcing it out of the can. (a) How many valence electrons are present in a molecule of N20? (b) Write two equivalent contributing structures for this molecule. The connectivity in nitrous oxide is NNO. (c) Explain why the following is not an acceptable contributing structure:arrow_forward3-119 Perchloroethylene, which is a liquid at room temperature, is one of the most widely used solvents for commercial dry cleaning. It is sold for this purpose under several trade names, including Perciene®. Does this molecule have polar bonds? Is it a polar molecule? Does it have a dipole?arrow_forward3-63 What is the difference between (a) a bromine atom, (b) a bromine molecule, and (c) a bromide ion? Draw the Lewis structure for each.arrow_forward
