CHAPTER 6 REVIEW
4. Explain why ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in their crystalline lattice form.
Electrons are “FIXED” in their solid forms positions.
5. Identify bond types as either ionic, metallic or covalent
a) O2 b) O3 c) O2 2- d) HO2 1-
12. Which of the following molecules has the shortest bond length?
a) N2 b) O2 c) Cl2 d) Br2 e) l2
13. Which of the following has zero dipole moment (i.e. is non-polar molecule)?
14. Ionic bonds are the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged atom. What determines their
ionic strength? Explain
15. Arrange the following types of attractions in order of increasing strength: Covalent, Electrostatic, Ionic,
Dipole-dipole, Hydrogen and London Dispersion forces.
IONIC COVALENT
17. Identify the types of INTERMOLECULAR forces for the following chemical compounds
(HINT: Dipole-Dipole, Electrostatic, Hydrogen or London Dispersion)
___F____ b) Pyramidal molecules have two unshared electron pairs on the central atom.
ONE LONE PAIR
___F___ c) A molecule cannot be non-polar if it contains only polar bonds.
___T__ e) Polar molecules have stronger attractions for each other than non-polar molecules have.
19. Describe the TWO factors that determine whether a molecule is polar or non-polar.
1) SYMMETRY
2) ELECTRONEGATIVITY DIFFERENCE
20. Define electronegativity. How does it relate to the intermolecular force between molecules?
21. Explain why Chlorine (Cl2) is a gas, bromine (Br2) is a liquid, and iodine (I2) is a solid. Be very specific!
Intermolecular force (IMF) is responsible for the different states of the halogens.
Chlorine, Bromine & lodine are all NONPOLAR MOLECULES which implies
their only intermolecular force is LONDON DISPERSION FORCE.
22. Rank the following substance from strongest to weakest intermolecular force:
HF F2 FCl
24. CENTRAL ATOMS – Most of the time SINGLE atoms become the central atom. However if you are
required to determine the central atom, it must meet the best two out of three requirements:
1) Atom with the largest number of valence electrons
25. Explain why nonpolar molecules usually have much lower surface tension than polar ones.
they have a significantly lower surface tension (invisible skin) than polar molecules.
___PH3____ < __ NH3 ____ < __ NF3____ < ___ PF3 _____
ΔEN = 0 ΔEN = 0.9 ΔEN = 1.0 ΔEN = 1.9
27. Which of the following has dispersion forces as its only intermolecular force?
28. Rank the following substances from strongest to weakest intermolecular force
30. Draw the lewis structure, identify the shape, state whether it is polar or nonpolar and identify the one
with lowest boiling point?
