N/N Shared Covalent Polar Sharing of e-
Covalent and Nonpolar
M Shared Alloys Sharing of e-
Metallic
II. Short Answer:
1. Why are some covalent bonds polar? Higher electronegative atoms unequally
share the electrons in the bond.
2. Which of the following compounds express polarity? To which element are the
compounds polar too?
a. H2O Yes O
b. HF Yes F
c. CCl4 No
d. CO2 Yes O
3. What are Binary Acids? List 4 and include the formula for each. Binary acids
consist of H and another element. HF HCl HI HBr
4. What are Tertiary Acids? List 4 and include the formula for each. Tertiary
Acids include H and a polyatomic ion in most cases. HNO3, HClO3, HPO4,
and H2SO3
5. How does electronegativity relate to the strength of an acid? The higher the
electronegativity the greater the strength of the acid.
6. Is it possible for a bond to be partially ionic? Explain. No, only whole electrons
are transferred in an ionic bond resulting in a definite charge.
7. What is an ion? How does it form? An ion is a charged atom that forms from
the gain or loss of electrons.
8. What is a polyatomic ion? What kind of bond holds the atoms in a polyatomic
ion together? A polyatomic ion is a charged, covalently bonded molecule that
combines with a metal to form an ionic compound.
9. Show the electron configuration for each of the atoms below and the
configuration for the ion as well.
a. Ca
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
Ion: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
b. N
