Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is a representation of a chemical formula of substance with valance electrons of atoms. According to VSEPR theory, electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom repel one another and try to minimize this repulsion by increasing their separation distance. This is done by forming bond between central atom and other atoms.

- Use the simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16MolecPolarity) to perform the following exercises for a two-atom molecule: (a) Adjust the electronegativity value so the bond dipole is pointing toward B. Then determine what the electronegativity values must be to switch the dipole so that it points toward A. (b) With a partial positive charge on A, turn on the electric field and describe what happens. (c) With a small partial negative charge on A, turn on the electric field and describe what happens. (d) Reset all, and then with a large partial negative charge on A, turn on the electric field and describe what happens.arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardHow are ionic bonds and covalent bonds different? Why is F2 a nonpolar molecule, but H2O is a polar molecule? How do you name a positive ion? How do you name a negative ion? How do you name an ionic compound?arrow_forward
- Consider 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_forward3) For each of the compounds MgO, Br2 and HBr:(a) What are the two atoms that formed each molecule?(b) What is their electronegativity difference between the atoms in each molecule?(c) What type of bond is formed in each molecule?(d) Are the electrons shared or transferred between the atoms in each molecule?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_forward
