Interpretation:
The true and false statements about the ions to be predicted
Concept Introduction:
Formation of ions:
Atom possesses equal number of protons and electrons and remains electrically neutral. By gaining (accepting electrons) or losing (donating electrons) one or more electrons, convert the neutral atom into a charged particle called IONS.
Cation: The loss of one or more electrons by a neutral atom leaves the atom positively charged called cation.
Anion: The gain of one or more electrons by a neutral atom leaves the neutral atom negatively charged called anion.
The symbolic representation of ions:
The electrons are reside in the principal quantum number ‘n’; by losing and gaining electron, reduces and increases in the electron count in the electronic configuration of the atom; for a cation adding positive charge as a superscript to the symbol of the element and for the anion adding negative charge as superscript to the symbol of the element.
Ionic charges of main group elements can be predicted using the group number and the octet rule:

- For hydrogen bonds, answer these three questions: A) Are they found in polar, non-polar or both types of molecules? B) Are they strong or weak? C) Are they found inside a molecule or between a molecule?arrow_forwardCovalent bonds involve_____ a)electrostatic attraction b)sharing electrons c)valence configurationarrow_forward1. The dipole moment in a water molecule Which statement about hydrogen bonds is NOT true? A) Hydrogen bonds account for the anomalously high boiling point of water. B) In liquid water, the average water molecule forms hydrogen bonds with three to four other water molecules. C) Individual hydrogen bonds are much weaker than covalent bonds. D) Individual hydrogen bonds in liquid water exist for many seconds and sometimes for minutes. E) The strength of a hydrogen bond depends on the linearity of the three atoms involved in the bond. 2. A TRUE statement about hydrophobic interactions is that they: A) are the driving force in the formation of micelles of amphipathic compounds in water. B) do not contribute to the structure of water-soluble proteins. C) have bonding energies of approximately 20-40 Kjoule per mole. D) involve the ability of water to denature proteins. E) primarily involve the effect of polar solutes on the entropy of aqueous systems.arrow_forward
- Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: In a beaker of water, the water-water bonds can properly be called (a) ionic bonds, (b) polar covalent bonds, (c) nonpolar covalent bonds, (d) hydrogen bonds.arrow_forwardArrange the elements Na, Si, and S in the order of(a) decreasing atomic radius.(h)increasing first ionization energy.arrow_forwardDiscuss whether the following statement is correct: “An ionic bond can, in principle, be thought of as a very polar covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds, then, fall somewhere between ionic bonds at one end of the spectrum and nonpolar covalent bonds at the other end.”arrow_forward
- A solution at pH 7 is considered neutral because (a) its hydrogen ion concentration is 0 mol/L (b) its hydroxide ion concentration is 0 mol/L (c) the product of its hydrogen ion concentration and its hydroxide ion concentration is 0 mol/L (d) its hydrogen ion concentration is equal to its hydroxide ion concentration (e) it is nonpolararrow_forwardClearly explain how hydrogen bonds are formed, using water as an example. [Hint: Include the electron structure of water and include what relative electronegativities are and how they work to develop a partial + and partial - charge].arrow_forwardplease explain why sodium is more likely to form ionic bonds rather than covalent bonds, and carbon is more likely to form covalent bonds over ionic bonds.arrow_forward
- . Give the name of and symbol for an element with this number of valence electrons.a) 2b) 6c) 8arrow_forwardExactly what causes the charges to form on atoms in ionic bonds?arrow_forwardApply the formula for the differences in electronegativities, for the following molecules, and define whether they are polar covalent, nonpolar covalent or ionic. Taking into account that: Non-polar covalent: greater than or equal to 0 but less than 0.7 Polar covalent: greater than or equal to 0.7 but less than 1.7 ionic: greater than 1.7 A)NO B)KCI C)F2 C)AsOarrow_forward
