10 Questions
Why does the formation of a triple bond in a nitrogen molecule require both atoms to share six electrons?
To achieve a stable noble gas electron configuration.
What determines the bond strength of a bond?
The number of shared electrons.
How is a triple bond represented in chemical notation?
With three parallel lines.
Why is the energy required to break a triple bond higher than that for a double or single bond?
Triple bonds involve more electrons being shared.
How is the distance between nuclei of two atoms related to the type of bond formed?
The distance decreases with increasing bond strength.
In ionic bonding, the transfer of valence electrons primarily occurs between which types of elements?
Metal and nonmetal
What type of compounds are usually crystalline solids and have high melting and boiling points?
Ionic compounds
How do covalent bonds differ from ionic bonds?
In covalent bonds, electrons are shared; in ionic bonds, electrons are transferred.
Which type of bond is formed when two atoms share two electrons each to acquire their nearest noble gas configuration?
Double covalent bond
What do Lewis dot structures represent?
Valence electrons of elements
