Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The changes that double the electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged particles are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work or transfer heat.
Electrostatic potential energy is the energy generated by the interaction of charged particles.
Opposite charged particles attract each other whereas like charges repel each other.
The dependence of electrostatic potential energy on the magnitude of charges and distance between them is given by the following expression:
Where
The comparison of the electrostatic potential energies of two sets of charged particles is made by dividing the electrostatic energy of the first set of charges by that of the second.

- Which of the following atoms do NOT have 5 valence electrons? Select all that applyarrow_forward(c) Select the Interaction Potential tab, and use the default neon atoms. Move the Ne atom on the right and observe how the potential energy changes. Select the Total Force button, and move the Ne atom as before. When is the total force on each atom attractive and large enough to matter? Then select the Component Forces button, and move the Ne atom. When do the attractive (van der Waals) and repulsive (electron overlap) forces balance? How does this relate to the potential energy versus the distance between atoms graph? Explain.arrow_forwardCovalent bond is formed by transfer of an electron from one atom to another and the consequent attraction between ions. Select one: True Falsearrow_forward
- Set atom A all the way to less electronegativity and atom B all the way to more electronegativity. Which atom is partially positive? Which atom is partially negative? Which way does the dipole point? Where is there more electron density? Try rotating the molecule. What happens? Use the charges on the electric field to explain why.arrow_forwardPotential energy diagram for Qr2 molecule. What is the bond energy in kJ/mol in the Qr-Qr bond? In which region of the curve are the repulsive forces stronger than the attractive forces? In which region of the curve are the repulsive and attractive forces the same?arrow_forwardexplain difference between non-polar and polar covalent compound along with example of this type of bond in clear handwritten answer!arrow_forward
- In _____________ covalent bonds one atom has a greater _____________________ than another so the result is unequal _____________ of electrons. An example is water which finds the _______________ end to be more negative and the ____ ends to be more positive. Draw this molecule below and show the – and + symbols.arrow_forwardYou can only pic one so either yes or no wrong number of valence and or no doesn't follow octet rulearrow_forwardComplete the table by determining polarity and explain eaxh answerarrow_forward
- Learning Goal: To use electronegativity or metal versus nonmetal classifications to distinguish covalent, polar covalent, and ionic bonds. When two bonded atoms attract electrons with equal strength, the result is a nonpolar covalent bond. A polar covalent bond is one in which the electrons are unequally shared between the atoms. An ionic bond results when the sharing is so unequal that fully charged ions form. Electronegativity difference can be used to predict bond type. If electronegativities differ by more than 2 units, the bond is substantially ionic; if they differ by less than 2 units, the bond is polar covalent; and if the values are equal, the bond is nonpolar covalent. If you are not given electronegativity values, you can still predict the bond type using the periodic table. Metals have low electronegativity compared to nonmetals. So in general, we can predict that ary metal-nonmetal combination will be ionic and any nonmetal-nonmetal combination will be covalent. If…arrow_forwardMolecules contain both a metal and a nonmetal. True or False ??arrow_forwardI am wondering why there is a need for resoance structures if the molecule already has a neutral charge. Wouldn't these all be insignificant resonance structures (as there is unnecessary charge separation)? Perhaps they are only depicting these structures for the purpose of showing high/low electron density (which was what the question was asking for)? 1 picture shows answer, another shows problem (it is (b)).arrow_forward
