Answer:

(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)

(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)

Explanation:

<em>(a) N and F</em>

Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).

<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>

Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).

Using the redox reaction below determine which element is oxidized and which is reduced. 4nh3 + 3ca(clo)2 → 2n2 + 6h2o + 3cacl2
lys-0071 [83]
The oxidation number of elements in equation below are,

                         4NH₃ + 3Ca(ClO)₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O + 3CaCl₂

O.N of N in NH₃ = -3
O.N of Ca in Ca(ClO)₂ and CaCl₂ = +2
O.N of N in N₂ = 0
O.N of Cl in Ca(ClO)₂ = +1
O.N of Cl in CaCl₂ = -1

Oxidation:
               Oxidation number of Nitrogen is increasing from -3 (NH₃) to 0 (N₂).

Reduction:
               Oxidation number of Cl is decreasing from +1 [Ca(ClO)₂] to -1 (CaCl₂).

Result:
          <span>N is oxidized and Cl is reduced.</span>
