Chapter 6 - Chemical Bonding
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| As atoms bond with each other, they | decrease their potential energy, thus creating more-stable arrangements of matter |
| The electrons involved in the formation of a chemical are called | valence electrons |
| If two covalently bonded atoms are identical, the bond is | nonpolar covalent |
| If atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons, the bond is called | polar |
| The greater the electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms, the greater the percentage of ____ in the bond. | ionic character |
| Which of the following is not a diatomic element | sulfur |
| Which of the following is not a reason that some elements only exist as diatomic molecules in their pure form. | they are higher in potential energy as diatomic elements |
| In drawing a Lewis structure, most nonmetal atoms other than hydrogen should be surrounded by | 8 electrons |
| Multiple covalent bonds may occur in atoms that contain carbon, nitrogen, or | oxygen |
| In metallic bonds, the mobile electrons surrounding the positive ions are called a(n) | electron sea |
| Malleability and ductility are characteristic of substances with | metallic bonds |
| To appear shiny, a material must be able to | absorb and re-emit light of many wavelengths |
| VSEPR theory is a model for predicting | the shape of molecules |
| The concept that electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs surrounding an atom causes these pairs to be separated as far as possible is the foundation of | VSEPR theory |
| A polar molecule contains | a region of positive charge and a region of negative charge |
| According to VSEPR theory, the structure of the ammonia molecule, NH₃, is | trigonal-pyramidal |
| Use VSEPR theory to predict the shape of the carbon tetraiodide molecule, CI₄. | tetrahedral |
| According to VSEPR theory, the shape of an H₂O molecule is | bent |
