Chapter 9, Problem 9.67P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The members of the following set are to be ranked in the decreasing order of ionic character. Also, the bond polarity with partial charges is to be indicated.

PCl3,PBr3,PF3

Concept introduction:

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the shared electrons in the bond towards itself. The more electronegative atom will more attract the bonding electrons towards itself than the less electronegative atom. Therefore the electrons will spend more time with the more electronegative atom than an electropositive atom. The electronegative atom will acquire the partial negative charge and the electropositive atom will acquire a partial positive charge.

Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change, Chapter 9, Problem 9.67P , additional homework tip  1

Here, B is the electronegative atom and A is the electropositive atom.

Bond polarity and ionic character can be estimated by ΔEN. ΔEN is the electronegativity difference between the atoms bonded to each other. The formula to calculate ΔEN in AB bond is as follows:

ΔEN=(electronegativity of B)(electronegativity of A)

Here, B is the electronegative atom and A is the electropositive atom.

Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change, Chapter 9, Problem 9.67P , additional homework tip  2

Explanation of Solution

The formula to calculate ΔEN in PCl bond of PCl3 is as follows:

(ΔEN)PCl=(electronegativity of Cl)(electronegativity of P) (1)

Substitute 2.1 for electronegativity of P and 3.0 for electronegativity of Cl in the equation (1).

(ΔEN)PCl=(3.0)(2.1)=0.9

The formula to calculate ΔEN in PBr bond of PBr3 is as follows:

(ΔEN)PBr=(electronegativity of Br)(electronegativity of P) (2)

Substitute 2.8 for electronegativity of Br and 2.1 for electronegativity of P in the equation (2).

(ΔEN)PBr=(2.8)(2.1)=0.7

The formula to calculate ΔEN in PF bond of PF3 is as follows:

(ΔEN)PF=(electronegativity of F)(electronegativity of P) (3)

Substitute 4.0 for electronegativity of F and 2.1 for electronegativity of P in the equation (3).

(ΔEN)PF=(4.0)(2.1)=1.9

Bond polarity and ionic character are directly related to the electronegativity difference. The decreasing order of bond polarity and ionic character is as follows:

The members of the following set are to be ranked in the decreasing order of ionic character. Also, the bond polarity with partial charges is to be indicated.

BF3,NF3,CF3

Concept introduction:

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the shared electrons in the bond towards itself. The more electronegative atom will more attract the bonding electrons towards itself than the less electronegative atom. Therefore the electrons will spend more time with the more electronegative atom than an electropositive atom. The electronegative atom will acquire the partial negative charge and the electropositive atom will acquire a partial positive charge.
