QuestionConsider the molecule:
In the blanks below, answer the following questions, in order:
1. Calculate the electronegativity difference between the central atom and the second atom. Give the answer to 1 decimal place.
2. Determine if the bond is covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. (these are your 3 choices)
3. Determine the shape of the molecule. (angular, linear, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, tetrahedral)
4. Determine if the shape is symmetrical or asymmetrical
5. Determine if the molecule polar, or nonpolar
6. Indicate the dominant intermolecular force (London dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding)
Studdy Solution
For nonpolar molecules, the dominant intermolecular force is:
London dispersion
The answers to the questions are:
1. 0.0
2. Covalent
3. Linear
4. Symmetrical
5. Nonpolar
6. London dispersion
