Chapter 3, Problem 3.90P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Comment on the nature of bonds present in the Br2 as ionic, polar covalent or non polar covalent.

Concept Introduction:

A molecule has polar bond if there is electro-negativity difference between to bonded atoms.

The electro-negativity is the tendency to pull share pair of electrons towards itself.

The following criteria is used to classify the compound as ionic, polar covalent or non polar covalent.

  1. If the electro-negativity difference is 00.4 the bond is non polar covalent
  2. If the electro-negativity difference is 0.51.7 the bond is polar covalent
  3. If the electro-negativity difference is more than 1.7the bond is ionic.

Answer to Problem 3.90P

Non polar covalent.

Explanation of Solution

Electronegativity of bromine is 2.96.

There are two bromine atoms in the molecule so the electro-negativity difference will be.

ΔE.N = E.N(Br) - E.N(Br) = 2.96 - 2.96 = 0

Hence, the molecule is non polar covalent.
