(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the representative particle in ethanol 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.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the representative particle in sodium chlorate 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 nickel
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 sulfuric 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.

INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY-STD.GDE.+SOL.MAN
- in the molecule PCI3 given the phosphorus has the electronegativity of 2.1 and the chlorine has an electronegativity of three point no we can conclude that this molecule isarrow_forwardAluminum oxide (Al₂ O₃) is a widely used industrial abrasive(emery, corundum), for which the specific application depends onthe hardness of the crystal. What does this hardness imply about the magnitude of the lattice energy? Would you have predictedfrom the chemical formula that Al₂ O₃ is hard? Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the compounds CH4, SrCl2, Zn(NO3)2, XeF2 are expected to exist as molecules?arrow_forward
- For the Lewis electron dot formula for oxygen diiodide, OI2, there are ___ Regions of Electron Density around the O and the shape is ____arrow_forwardElements in the same group of the periodic table often formoxyanions with the same general formula. The anions arealso named in a similar fashion. Based on these observations,suggest a chemical formula or name, as appropriate, for eachof the following ions: (a) BrO4-, (b) SeO32-, (c) arsenate ion,(d) hydrogen tellurate ion.arrow_forwardFor the Lewis electron dot formula for hydrogen carbon trichloride, HCCl3, there are ___Regions of Electron Density around the C and the shape is ___arrow_forward
- 3-119 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_forwardSo if 2n^2 could predict the maximum number of electrons in the n shell. Then the 3rd shell should hold 18 electrons since chlorine has 17 electrons in a neutral state how come we say it pursues the octet rule despite it being able to hold 18 electrons? For example, it's shown during an ionic transfer with Na to gain an electron and be satisfied occurring to the octet rule. Please explain does it have to deal with the orbitals?arrow_forwardThe C=O double bond is polar, with a dipole moment of 1.0 Debye. Do you expect CO2 to be a polar molecule? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- Which atom in the C-F bond has a partial negative charge (δ⁻)?arrow_forwardThionyl chloride, SOCl2 , has the following structure. Which bond in SOCl2 is a coordinate covalent bond?arrow_forwardThe illustration to the left represents a mixture of xenon ( brown ) and fluorine ( green ) molecules.arrow_forward
