(a)
Interpretation:
Plutonium,
Concept introduction:
An atom is a single entity there is no bonding for an atom alone. A molecule is the combination of two or more atoms of same or different elements bonded together by a covalent bond. A formula unit is the combination of atom of two or more elements bonded together by the ionic bonds.
(b)
Interpretation:
Oxygen,
Concept introduction:
An atom is a single entity there is no bonding for an atom alone. A molecule is the combination of two or more atoms of the same or different elements bonded together by a covalent bond. A formula unit is the combination of the atom of two or more elements bonded together by the ionic bonds.
(c)
Interpretation:
Plutonium(III) oxide,
Concept introduction:
An atom is a single entity there is no bonding for an atom alone. A molecule is the combination of two or more atoms of the same or different elements bonded together by a covalent bond. A formula unit is the combination of an atom of two or more elements bonded together by the ionic bonds.
(d)
Interpretation:
Hydrogen peroxide,
Concept introduction:
An atom is a single entity there is no bonding for an atom alone. A molecule is the combination of two or more atoms of the same or different elements bonded together by a covalent bond. A formula unit is the combination of the atom of two or more elements bonded together by the ionic bonds.

- Answer true or false. (a) The octet rule refers to the chemical bonding patterns of the first eight elements of the Periodic Table. (b) The octet rule refers to the tendency of certain elements to react in such a way that they achieve an outer shell of eight valence electrons. (c) In gaining electrons, an atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. (d) When an atom forms an ion, only the number of valence electrons changes; the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus does not change. (e) In forming ions, Group 2A elements typically lose two electrons to become cations with a charge of 12. (f) In forming an ion, a sodium atom (1s22s22p63s1) completes its valence shell by adding one electron to fill its 3s shell (1s22s22p63s2). (g) The elements of Group 6A typically react by ac- cepting two electrons to become anions with a charge of 22. (h) With the exception of hydrogen, the octet rule applies to all elements in periods 1, 2, and 3.

- Which statements are true about electronegativity? (a) Electronegativity increases from left to right in a period of the Periodic Table. (b) Electronegativity increases from top to bottom in a column of the Periodic Table . (c) Hydrogen, the element with the lowest atomic number, has the smallest electronegativity. (d) The higher the atomic number of an element, the greater its electronegativity.arrow_forwardWrite the formulas of the following covalent compounds. (Type your answer using the format CO2 for CO2.)

He makes two claims (seen below) about electronegativity with relation to covalent bonding. Is the expert correct or can you refute him with your knowledge of electronegativity? (a) If a diatomic molecule is made up of atoms X and Y, which have different electronegativities, the molecule must be polar. (b) The farther two atoms are apart in a bond, the larger the dipole moment will be.arrow_forward
