Correct rules for writing the chemical formulas of covalent

Biology

Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
6 0

The rules for writing the chemical formulas of covalent compounds must include the use of prefixes, naming the first non-metal and replacing the end name of the second non-metal with "ide".

A covalent compound is a type of compound that contains covalent bond --the atoms share pair of electrons.

There are basic rules for writing the chemical formulas of covalent compounds, these rules include the following;

  • Use the prefixes such as mono (1), di (2), tri (3), to indicate the number of that particular element in the given compound.
  • <em>Start </em>by naming the first non-metal present in the compound, which is found far left on the periodic table by its elemental name.  
  • <em>Followed by</em> naming the second non-metal by replacing the end of its elemental name with an "ide".

What does it mean when a covalent bond is polar? How can you tell if a bond is polar or nonpolar?
padilas [110]

Answer:

If the covalent is polar its means that pair of electrons are unequally shared between both atoms.

Through electronegativity difference.

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms.

It is weaker than the ionic bond. The both bonded atoms do not completely transfer the electrons but can only shares.

For example:

The bond between the both chlorine atoms Cl₂ is coavlent. Cl:Cl

The bond between the H₂ atoms is covalent. H:H

The covalent bond can be polar or non polar. When it is formed between the atoms of two different elements then electronegativity difference is created. The atom atoms with high electronegativity values attract more strongly the shared pair of electron towards it self and become partial negative while the other became partial positive. Thus bond become polar.

But this is only in case when the electronegativity difference between both atoms is 0.4 are greater. If the difference is less than 0.4 than bond is non polar.

For example:

HCl, H₂O

The polar covalent bond is present in HCl and water because of greater electronegativity difference between hydrogen and chlorine , oxygen and hydrogen.
