Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the given pair of bonds, the bond with more polarity has to be identified. Also, the atom that attracts electrons more towards itself in the polar compound has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Polar molecules possess charge separation in them, which arises due to the difference in the electronegativities between the atoms in a molecule. So, polar molecules possess a permanent dipole moment in them. Increase in difference between electronegativity of two bonded atoms increases polar nature of the bond.
(b)
Interpretation:
From the given pair of bonds, the bond with more polarity has to be identified. Also, the atom that attracts electrons more towards itself in the polar compound has to be given.

Chemistry In Context
- Draw a curve that describes the energy of a system with H and Cl atoms at varying distances. Then, find the minimum energy of this curve two ways. (a) Use the bond energy found in Table 8.1 to calculate the energy for one single HCl bond (Hint: How many bonds are in a mole?) (b) Use the enthalpy of reaction and the bond energies for H2 and Cl2 to solve for the energy of one mole of HCl bonds. H2(g)+Cl2(g)2HCl(g)Hrxn=184.7kJ/molarrow_forward7.97 Consider the structure shown below for as well as any other important resonance structures. (a) What is the expected O—N—O bond angle in this structure? (b) The molecule contains N—O bonds of two different lengths. How many sborter N—O bonds would be present?arrow_forwardCH3COCH3 (acetone) is a common laboratory solvent that is often used in nail polish remover. Its Lewis structure and space-filling molecular image are shown here: Acetone is a polar molecule; the oxygen end has a slightly negative charge (oxygen is more electronegative), whereas the carbon and hydrogen end has a slightly positive charge. In liquid acetone, the molecules are attracted to each other via these polar ends-the positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of its neighbor-and therefore align as shown here: Draw a Lewis structure and space-filling molecular image for CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane), another common laboratory solvent. Is the molecule polar? Which end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge? Which end has a slightly positive charge? Draw several space-filling molecular images of CH2Cl2 showing how they align in liquid dichloromethane.arrow_forward
- Write Lewis structures for the following: (a) ClF3 (b) PCl5 (c) BF3 (d) PF6arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is false concerning bonding? Elements with extremely different electronegativities tend to form ionic bonds with each other. In an N—O bond. electron density is greater near the O atom. An N—O bond is an example of a polar covalent band. In general, chemical bonds form to minimize energy. The bond in KBr is formed by sharing electrons.arrow_forwardOn the left side of Figure 3.6, label the areas shown with a dotted line where... one bond can form. one bond can form.arrow_forward
- Which statement(s) is/are true about bond enthalpy? (a) The bond energy for a triple bond between A and B is three times that of a single bond between A and B. (b) H for the breaking of a bond is always a negative number. (c) Energy is required to make a bond. (d) Bond enthalpy is defined only for bonds broken or formed in the gaseous state. (e) The presence of bonds does not influence the geometry of a molecule. However, the presence of bonds affects the value of the bond enthalpy between two atoms.arrow_forwardOn the basis of the electronegativity values given in Fig. 12.3, indicate whether each of the following bonds would be expected to be ionic, covalent, or polar covalent. msp;a.HOc.HHb.OOd.HClarrow_forwardWhy is the geometric structure of a molecule important, especially for biological molecules?arrow_forward
