Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of valence electrons and the type of multiple bonds present if the compound is having a multiple bonds has to be determined for
Concept introduction:
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between atoms.
The valence electrons of Carbon are 4 electrons (requires 4 electrons to achieve octet).
The valence electrons of Oxygen are 6 electrons (requires 2 electrons to achieve octet).
The valence electrons of Hydrogen are 1 electron.
The valence electrons of Nitrogen are 5 electrons.
The sharing of one electron from two atoms constitutes a single bond between the two atoms. The sharing of two electrons from two atoms constitutes a double bond between the two atoms

- When two atoms share a pair of valence electrons with different levels of electronegativity, what type of bond is this?arrow_forwardWhich among the four bonds is strongest? And which one is weakess? Explain.arrow_forwardDraw condensed structural formulas for the two carboxylic acids with the molecular formula C4H8O2arrow_forward
- Draw the bond-line dash-wedge structure and the Fischer projection of the following For each compound, draw the Newman Projection down the C2-C3 bond in the lowest energy conformation.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_forwardHow many oxygen atoms are in this molecular formula? 3H2 Oarrow_forward
- In which extreme conformation are the hydrogens farthest apart from each other? Eclipsed or Staggered?arrow_forwardWhat are hydrocarbons? Are they prevalent in living organisms? What type of molecule found commonly in living things has a major hydrocarbon component? Are hydrocarbons hydrophobic or hydrophilic? Relate the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of hydrocarbons to their structure.arrow_forwardOn the indicated blue bonds, which ones are able to rotate?arrow_forward
- Magnesium atoms lose two electrons when they react. Write the symbol of the ion that is formed. Is it a cation or an anion?arrow_forwardThe “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds thatatoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills itsouter shell of 8 electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electronstend to donate electrons and those with more than 4 valence electronstend to accept additional electrons; those with exactly 4 can do both.Using this rule, determine what category each of the followingelements falls into: N, S, C, P, O, H, Ca, Fe, and Mg. (You will needto work out the valence of the atoms.)arrow_forwardExactly what causes the charges to form on atoms in ionic bonds?arrow_forward
