- The Lewis dot model of a molecule is shown.Based on the model, which of the following is true?A) The electronegativity difference between phosphorous and chlorine is greater than 1.7.B) Each chlorine has three non-bonded pairs and one bonded pair of electrons.C) Phosphorous has three non-bonded pairs and one bonded pair of electrons.D) Phosphorous has three valence electrons in the outermost energy level.arrow_forwardNow, we will investigate diatomic molecules, those that are made up of two of the same type of atom. Select 2 fluorine atoms. How many valence electrons are in each fluorine atom? Is a fluorine atom a metal or a non-metal? Did the combination of these atoms create a covalent or ionic bond? How are the valence electrons organized to form a bond between these atoms? How is this different from the ionic bonds formed in the previous part of the activity?arrow_forwardConsider four chemical bonds: Ca-S, Mg-F, Cl-Cl, and P-N (i) Calculate the electronegativity difference (EN): Use the electronegativity table distributed in the class for calculations. (ii) Determine the bond type (ionic, polar covalent or nonpolar covalent) (iii) Rank the chemical bond in order of increasing polarity from lowest to highest. chemical bond the electronegativity difference (EN) the bond type Ca-S Mg-F Cl-Cl P-N Rank of the bonds in order of polarity: (least) ______ < ______ < _______ < _________(most)arrow_forward
