If two nonmetals with the same electronegativity bond, what type of bond will form then Non polar covalent bond (option D) will form.

Answer:

Two nonmetals with the same electronegativity will form a non polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bond between atoms is classified in 3 big groups:

  • Metallic bond: this type of bond only take place <u>between metallic atoms</u> like Cu, Al, Au, etc.
  • Ionic bond: this type of bond is formed <u>between ions</u>, that means that it is necessary the presence of <u>a cation</u> (ion with positive charge) and <u>and an anion </u>(ion with negative charge) and when the atoms has a <u>very high difference of electronegativity</u> (more that 2), that makes the ionic bond always polar, because there will be always a positive pole (cation) and a negative pole (anion). This is common between a metal and a nonmetal, for example: sodium chloride (NaCl).
  • Covalent bond: this type of bond occurs when <u>atoms share one or more pairs of electrons</u>, this happens between nonmetals, e.g.: the molecule of chlorine gas (Cl₂).

Apart from that, depending on the electronegativity difference, the <u>covalent bonds are clasified in polar and non polar</u>:

- Polar covalent bond: the <u>difference of electronegativity is important</u> but less than an ionic bond (between 0 and 2).

- Non polar covalent bond: this occurs when <u>the atoms</u> forming bonds <u>have the same electronegativity</u>.

So, analyzing the statement, if we have <u>two nonmetals</u> it is a <u>covalent bond</u>, and if the two nonmetals atoms have the <u>same electronegativity</u> the bond will be <u>non polar</u>.

Suppose a new group 5A element is discovered. Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) reveals that its last two peaks occur at 1370 kJ/
iren2701 [21]

Answer: The average valence electron energy (AVEE) of this element =

1014.2 KJ/ mol  or  1.0142mJ/mol.

Explanation:

The average valence electron energy =  (number of electrons in s subshell  x  Ionization energy of that subshell) + (number of electrons in p subshell  x  Ionization energy of that subshell) / total number of electrons in both subshells of the valence shells.

The 5A elements are non-metals like Nitrogen and Phosphorus with the metallic character increasing as you go down the group, So a new 5A element will have characteristics of its group with 5 valence electron in its outermost shell represented as ns2 np3

Therefore  the average valence electron energy (AVEE) of this element will be calculated as

The average valence electron energy = (2 x 1370  kJ/mol + 3 x 777 kJ/mol.) / 5

2740+2331/ 5 =5071/5

=1014.2 KJ/ mol  or  1.0142mJ/mol.
