Chapter 4, Problem 4.37SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

More polar bond has to be predicted in the given pair.

C-Hor C-Cl

Concept introduction:

Polarity:

Polarity is initiated by electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms.

Electronegativity:

Electronegativity is described as capable of atom to attract the shared electron towards itself.  If the atom has more electronegativity means sharing of electron will be unequal.  If the difference in electronegativity is large means an electrons will not be shared.  If atoms has same electronegativity means sharing of electron will be equal.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

More polar bond has to be predicted in the given pair.

Si-Lior Si-Cl

Concept introduction:

Polarity:

Polarity is initiated by electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms.

Electronegativity:

Electronegativity is described as capable of atom to attract the shared electron towards itself.  If the atom has more electronegativity means sharing of electron will be unequal.  If the difference in electronegativity is large means an electrons will not be shared.  If atoms has same electronegativity means sharing of electron will be equal.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

(Hint:Hyponitrous acid has an N=N bond.)(c) Predict the shape around the N atoms of each species.(d) When hyponitrous acid loses two protons, it forms the hy-ponitrite ion. Draw cisand transforms of this ion.
18.) Choose all the statements that are correct. (1) Like atomic size, electronegativity decreases going across a period and increases going down a group. (2) The second most electronegative element is chlorine. (3) Electronegativity is directly proportional to atomic number. (4) Like ionization energy, electronegativity increases going across a period and decreases going down a group. (5) Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons and form a negative ion. (6) Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons go itself. (7) Electronegativity was first proposed by Linus Pauling.
