Question

Please answer True or False for the following statements:

1.Polar bonds form when atoms share their electrons

2. Ionic bonds form between non-metals

3. Ionic bonds form when atoms fully gain or lose electrons

4. In a Lewis Dot Structure, you want to minimize the number of atoms that have non-zero formal charges

5. Each atom in a Lewis Dot Structure has its own formal charge

6. All atoms' formal charges are equal to zero in a neutral molecule

7. Resonance occurs when you can change the way atoms are bonded together (ex. SCN and NSC)

8. When a molecule has resonance, it "flips" back and forth between all resonance structures very quickly

9. Carbonate has one pure double bond

10. An octahedral electron domain geometry will have sp^3d hybridization

Explanation / Answer

1. false

Bonds that are partly ionic are polar bonds

2.  false

Ionic bonds require an electron donor, often a metal, and an electron acceptor, a nonmetal.

3. true

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions.

4. true

5. true

6. false

FC = valence electrons - (non-bonding valence electrons + B/2 electrons in covalent bonds)

7. true

8.true

9. true

one bond between O and C is double bonded

10. false

10.
