Question 6: Intermolecular Forces and You (2 points)
Imagine you need to take a medicine that the doctor has prescribed for you. Explain why scientists who developed that medicine would need to know whether or not the compound in that medicine is polar. How might a polar medicine behave differently within your body than a nonpolar medicine would? Answer in 1 to 2 paragraphs.
Question 7: Energy in Bonds (9 points)
Use these tables for reference for all parts of this question.
This table summarizes the average energies of single bonds between atom pairs in many different compounds.
a. According to Table 2, which is the strongest bond? Which is the weakest bond? Based on what you know about the atomic radii and electronegativity of the elements involved in the bonds, why do you think these two have the most extreme bond-energy values? (3 points)
b. How are the bond energies of each bond listed in Table 2 determined? (1 point)
c. Why do you think there aren't bond energy values given in Table 2 for N–S and S–I? (1 point)
d. Based on Tables 1 and 2, how would you describe the trend in bond strength of single, double, and triple bonds? (1 point)
e. Based on Table 2, how would you describe the trend in the strength of bonds formed by the elements carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen? Would you describe this trend as a periodic trend? Why or why not? (3 points)
