(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the representative particle in methanol is a formula unit or molecule is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The covalent bond is formed when two non-metals are combined by sharing the valence electrons. The particles that are held together by a covalent bond are known as a molecule. This can be identified when there are two non-metals in an atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the representative particle in potassium chlorite is a formula unit or molecule is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
In an ionic bond, the cation is attracted to an anion. This attraction is due to the opposite charges on both the ions. The particle that is held together by an ionic bond is known as formula unit. This can be identified when the particle has a metal and a non-metal.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the representative particle in manganese
Concept introduction:
In an ionic bond, the cation is attracted to an anion. This attraction is due to the opposite charges on both the ions. The particle that is held together by an ionic bond is known as formula unit. This can be identified when the particle has a metal and a non-metal.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the representative particle in acetic acid is a formula unit or molecule is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The covalent bond is formed when two non-metals are combined by sharing the valence electrons. The particle that is held together by a covalent bond is known as a molecule. This can be identified when there are two non-metals in an atom.

- Based on Linus Pauling's electronegativity scale, would H2S be considered a polar molecule? Pick the best answer. (a) No. It would technically be considered a non-polar molecule. (b) No. Even though it contains polar bonds they are symmetrical and therefore H2S is non-polar. (c) No. The electronegativity difference between H and S is so great that it would be considered an ionic compound.
