(i)
Interpretation:
The atoms expect to form diatomic molecules has to be identified from the given atoms.
Concept introduction:
Diatomic molecules are formed by the bonding between same atoms.
Covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms to form a bond. When the electronegativity between two atoms is similar, sharing of electron in the bond is equal and is called nonpolar molecules.
(ii)
Interpretation:
The atoms expect to form mainly covalent bonds has to be identified from the given atoms.
Concept introduction:
Diatomic molecules are formed by the bonding between same atoms.
Covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms to form a bond. When the electronegativity between two atoms is similar, sharing of electron in the bond is equal and is called nonpolar molecules.
The polarity of a bond is arises due to the difference in electronegativity of atoms present in that bonding.
(iii)
Interpretation:
The atoms expect to form mainly ionic bonds has to be identified from the given atoms.
Concept introduction:
Diatomic molecules are formed by the bonding between same atoms.
Ionic bond or ionic nature of covalent bond is due to the polarity of the bond. Ionic bond takes place between a metal and a nonmetal where ions having opposite charges are held by electrostatic attraction.
The polarity of a bond is arises due to the difference in electronegativity of atoms present in that bonding.
(iv)
Interpretation:
The atoms expect to form both covalent and ionic bonds have to be identified from the given atoms.
Concept introduction:
Diatomic molecules are formed by the bonding between same atoms.
Covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms to form a bond. When the electronegativity between two atoms is similar, sharing of electron in the bond is equal and is called nonpolar molecules.
Ionic bond or ionic nature of covalent bond is due to the polarity of the bond. Ionic bond takes place between a metal and a nonmetal where ions having opposite charges are held by electrostatic attraction.
The polarity of a bond is arises due to the difference in electronegativity of atoms present in that bonding.
