Interpretation:
The difference in electronegativity between the atoms in the given ionic compound, which one is more ionic and the melting point of
Concept introduction:
The nature of an atom to attract the pair of electrons that are bonded towards each other is called as electronegativity.
Electronegativity increases in a period from left to right due to atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases from going left to right in a period.
Ionic compounds have to tendency to breakup into their positive and negatively charged ions when they are dissolved into solution.
Melting point:
A substance changes from solid to a liquid state at a particular temperature and this temperature is called meting point.

- Which of the following atoms would be expected to form negative ions in binary ionic compounds and which would be expected to form positive ions: P, I, Mg, Cl, In, Cs, O, Pb, Co?arrow_forwardWhich of the following atoms would be expected to form negative ions in binary ionic compounds and which would be expected to form positive ions: Br, Ca, Na, N, F, Al, Sn, S, Cd?arrow_forwardWhen an element forms an anion, what happens to the radius? When an element forms a cation, what happens to the radius? Why? Define the term isoelectronic. When comparing size of ions. Which ion has the largest radius and which ion has the smallest radius in an isoelectronic series? Why?arrow_forward
- n your own words, what is meant by the term electronegativity? What are the trends across and down the periodic table for electronegativity? Explain them, and describe how they are consistent with trends of ionization energy and atomic radii.arrow_forwardList the valence electrons, e.g. 2s2, 2p3, for the following compounds a. C______________________________________________ b. Mn_______________________________________ c. I (iodine) ______________________________________________ d. Pbarrow_forwardWrite the ground-state electron configuration for each atomand ion pair-Zr, Zr2+, Co, Co2+, Tc, Tc3+, Os, Os4+?arrow_forward
- How many of the following are covalent? CaCO 3 SrCl 2 LiI MgSO 4 N 2 CO 2 C 3H 8 CaCl 2 3 5 6 7 8arrow_forwardWhen one of each of these atoms forms the chemical species, KCN, two ions are formed and both covalent and ionic bonding takes place. How might you use each atoms preference to gain or lose electrons to become isoelectronic to a noble gas, AND the electronegativities of the atoms to support this observation.arrow_forwardHypophosphorous acid, H3PO2, has the structure (HO)PH2O. in which two H atoms are bonded to the P atom, and one H atom is bonded to an O atom. For each bond to an H atom, decide whether it is polar or nonpolar. Assume that only polar-bonded H atoms are acidic. Write the balanced equation for the complete neutralization of hypophosphorous acid with sodium hydroxide. An 800.0 ml sample of H3PO2 requires 22.00 mL of 0.7850 M NaOH for complete neutralization. What is the molarity of the H3PO2 solution? Electronegativity P = 2.19. H =2.20, O= 3.44arrow_forward
