Q

TRUE or FALSE:

Nonmetal atoms of the same type will often bond with each other.

A

True

21
Q

How are molecular compounds different from ionic compounds?

A

Molecules have unique 3-D shapes with atoms oriented in fixed positions in space. Ionic compounds form from a repeating lattice structure of alternating cations and anions – there is really no unique molecular structure in the ionic substance.

22
Q

A chemical formula of an ionic compound shows the _________ ratio of ions.

A

lowest whole number

23
Q

A chemical formula of a molecular compound shows the ______ number of atoms.

A

exact

24
Q

TRUE or FALSE:

Molecular compounds are very different from ionic compounds.

A

true

25
Q

If you were able to take a pure sample of water and divide it in half again and again, what would be the limit of this subdivision process where the last piece of water still behaved like water?

A

a single water molecule

26
Q

The formula for a covalent compound must describe the actual number of atoms found in one ________ of the substance.

A

molecule

27
Q

Covalent bonds result from the _______ of a _____ of electrons between atoms.

A

sharing a pair

28
Q

The valence electrons are the _______ to transfer or share in chemical bonds.

A

easiest

29
Q

Covalent bonding must involve the ______ shell electrons.

A

valence

30
Q

TRUE or FALSE:
It is reasonable that the valence electrons are involved in chemical bonds since they are the outermost electrons and they must come in contact first when atoms come together.

A

true

31
Q

Do covalent bonds, formed among nonmetal atoms, tend to obey or disobey the octet rule?

A

obey

32
Q

Some chemical bonds have characteristics of both _____ and ______ bonds.

A

ionic and covalent

33
Q

Unequal sharing of electrons leads to the formation of ___________.

A

polar covalent bonds

34
Q

Who came up with the idea of electronegativity?

A

Linus Pauling

35
Q

What is the most electronegative element and what is it’s value?

A

F (Fluorine) is 4.0

36
Q

Why don’t noble gases have an electronegative value?

A

They have a full outer shell and don’t form bonds with other elements.

37
Q

Metals have _____ electronegativities and nonmetals have ______ electronegativities.

A

low;

high

38
Q

Given the electronegativity values of the following atoms, describe the characteristic of the chemical bond formed between them: Na (0.9) and Cl (3.0)

A

NaCl is ionic at a value of 2.1 - metal with nonmetal

39
Q

The major character of a chemical bond is defined by a difference in the _________ of the atoms involved.

A

electronegativity

40
Q

Describe the characteristic of the chemical bond formed between H (2.1) and F (4.0).

A

HF - polar covalent bond at a value of 1.9 - 2 nonmetal atoms

41
Q

Describe the characteristic of the chemical bond formed between C (2.5) and O (3.5).

A

CO - polar covalent at a value of 1.0

42
Q

Under what circumstances will 2 atoms form a pure covalent bond?

A

When atoms involved are identical and have the same electronegativity.

43
Q

Polar covalent bonds with small differences in electronegativity behave a lot like __________.

A

pure covalent bonds

44
Q

Molecular structure is a strong indication that the bonds have ___________ character.

A

covalent

45
Q

Why is it hard to name covalent compounds?

A

They do not form predictable associations with other atoms and there are billions of these compounds in nature

46
Q

Which atom is listed first in a simple binary compound that is not acidic?

A

least electronegative atom

47
Q

What is the greek prefix that means three?

A

tri-

48
Q

When are the number of H atoms not included in the name of the compound?

A

When it is listed first in the formula (acidic)

49
Q

What 2 factors lead to molecular polarity?

A

the presence of polar bonds and the asymmetrical shape
