Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis symbols for the sodium atom has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis electron-dot symbols can be used to predict the number of bonds formed by most elements in their compounds. Lewis electron-dot symbol consists of the chemical symbol for an element surrounded by dots that represent its valence electrons.
Some features of the Lewis electron-dot symbol are as follows:
1. It is the representation of valence electrons.
2. It allows to keep track of valence electrons during bond formation.
3. It consists of the chemical symbol for the element and a dot for each valence electron.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis symbol for fluorine atom has to be determined.

- Write an electron configuration for each element and the corresponding Lewis structure. Indicate which electrons in the electron configuration are included in the Lewis structure.(a) N(b) C(c) Cl(d) Ararrow_forwardii. Answer true or false. (a) A covalent bond is formed between two atoms whose difference in electronegativity is less than 1.9. (b) If the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is zero (they have identical electronegativities), then the two atoms will not form a covalent bond. (c) A covalent bond formed by sharing two electrons is called a double bond. (d) In the hydrogen molecule (H2), the shared pair of electrons completes the valence shell of each hydrogen. (e) In the molecule CH4, each hydrogen has an electron configuration like that of helium, and carbon has an electron configuration like that of neon. (f) In a polar covalent bond, the more electronegative atom has a partial negative charge (8-) and the less electronegative atom has a partial positive charge (&+).
