Study Notes
Practice Problems: Chemical Bonding
-
1. The Octet Rule
- Problem 1: Atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration.
- Sodium (Na): Loses 1 electron, forming Na+.
- Chlorine (Cl): Gains 1 electron, forming Cl-.
- Oxygen (O): Gains 2 electrons, forming O2-.
- Problem 2: Neon (Ne) has a full valence shell, making it very stable and unreactive.
- Problem 3: Which elements form a +2 ion?
- Calcium (Ca): Forms a +2 ion.
- Sulfur (S): Forms a -2 ion.
- Aluminum (Al): Forms a +3 ion.
- Problem 1: Atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration.

2. Types of Chemical Bonds
- Problem 1: Bond types identification
- KCl (ionic)
- H₂O (covalent)
- Cu (metal wire) (metallic)
- Problem 2: Covalent bonds form between nonmetals.
- Metals have a tendency to lose electrons.

-
3. Polar Covalent Bonds
- Problem 1: Polarity identification
- H-H (nonpolar)
- H-Cl (polar)
- O-H (polar)
- Problem 2: Water (H₂O) is polar due to uneven sharing of electrons.
- Methane (CH₄) is nonpolar due to symmetrical sharing of electrons.
- Problem 3: Bond polarity order (increasing polarity):
- H-H
- C-H
