What type of bond involves sharing electron pairs between atoms?
Covalent
The central atom
The one further away from group 18 (aka full valence) except H
Longer or shorter bonds?
Shorter
Li2O
Ionic
A bond between a metal and a nonmetal is usually what type?
Ionic
Resonance
When a molecule needs more than one lewis structure to represent it
The strongest covalent bond
Triple bond
NH3
Molecular
What is the range of electronegativity difference for a polar covalent bond?
0.3-1.7
How many more electrons does Carbon need to satisfy octet rule?
4
NaF v MgO
MgO
Which type of compound usually has lower boiling points
Molecular
When a covalent bond forms, as the distance between two atoms decreases, the potential energy does this
increases
These 4 elements do not want 8 valence electrons (and indicate how many they want)
H, Be, B and Al
The molecule that released more energy to be formed or the molecule that released less?
More energy
Why do molecular compounds not conduct electricity in water
They do not form ions
Why is bonding rarely purely ionic or purely covalent?
Because bonding depends on how strongly atoms attract electrons, and most bonds have mixed character
C17H35COOH

Why are ionic compounds hard but brittle
Shifting layers cause repulsive forces that break the lattice
