Concept Introduction:
The bond result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions is called ionic bond and the bond result from the mutual sharing of electrons between atoms is called covalent bond.
The bond order is defined as the number of electron pairs that are shared between two atoms. The bond order in single bond is one. The bond order in a double bond is two and in triple bond a bond order is three.
The increase in bond order between two atoms increases the strength of the bond and decreases the distance of bond.

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- Predict the molecular structure and bond angles for each molecule or ion in Exercises 81 and 87 from Chapter 3arrow_forwardCarbon monoxide (CO) forms bonds to a variety of metals and metal ions. liS ability to bond to iron in hemoglobin is the reason that CO is so toxic. The bond carbon monoxide forms to metals is through the carbon atom: MCO a. On the basis of electronegativities, would you expect the carbon atom or the oxgen atom to form bonds to metals? b. Assign formal charges to the atoms in CO. Which atom would you expect to bond to a metal on this basis? c. In the MO model, bonding MOs place more electron density near the more electronegative atom. (See the HF molecule in Figs. 4-54 and 4-55.) Antibonding MOs place more electron density near the less electronegative atom in the diatomic molecule. Use the MO model to predict which atom of carbon monoxide should form bonds to metals.arrow_forwardWhat aspect of the following Lewis structure indicates that the concept of coordinate covalency is needed to explain the bonding in the molecule?arrow_forward
- 7.31 Why is a bond between two atoms with different electronegativities called a polar bond?arrow_forwardExplain why bonds occur at specific average bond distances instead of the atoms approaching each other infinitely close.arrow_forwardWhy are all diatomic molecules linear, regardless of the number of valence electron pairs on the atoms involved?arrow_forward
- 7.29 When two atoms with different electronegativities form a covalent bond, what does the electron distribution in the bond look like?arrow_forwardPredict the molecular structure (including bond angles) for each of the following. (See Exercises 115 and 116.) a. ICl5 b. XeCl4 c. SeCl6arrow_forwardAccording to the VSEPR model, what are the arrangements of two, three, four, five, and six valence-shell electron pairs about an atom?arrow_forward
- The atoms in a single bond can rotate about the internuclear axis without breaking the bond. The atoms in a double and triple bond cannot rotate about the internuclear axis unless the bond is broken. Why?arrow_forward7.50 Chemical species are said to be isoelectronic if they have the same Lewis structure (regardless of charge). Consider these ions and write a Lewis structure for a neutral molecule that is isoelectronic with each of them, (a) CN , (b) NH4+ . (c) CO32arrow_forward
