Answer:
They are resonance contributors
Explanation:
Resonance structures are structures that differ only in the distribution or placement of electrons.
Considering the two structures, we can easily see that the two species have the same total number of bonds and electrons differing only in the distribution of these electrons.
Hence, they are resonance contributors.
Answer:
From least polar covalent to most polar covalent;
S-I< Br-Cl < N-H< Te-O
From most ionic to least ionic
Cs-F> Sr-Cl> Li- N> Al-O
Explanation:
Electro negativity refers to the ability of an atom in a bond to attract the shared electrons of the bond towards itself.
Electro negativity difference between two atoms is a key player in the nature of bond that exists between any two atoms. A large difference in electron negativity leads to an ionic bond while an intermediate difference in electro negativity leads to a polar covalent bond.
Based on electro negativity differences, the bonds in the answer have been arranged in order of increasing polar covalent nature or decreasing ionic nature.
Answer:
Ionic or electrovalent bonds
Explanation:
Ionic or electrovalent bonds are interatomic or intramolecular bonds which are formed between two kinds of atoms having a large electronegativity difference usually 2.1.
Electronegativity is the property that combines the ability of an atom to gain or lose electrons. It is expressed as the tendency with which atoms of elements attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.
In this bond type, a metal transfers its electrons to a more electronegative atom which is a non-metal.
