Chapter 2.2, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason as to why the covalent bond is stronger than an ionic bond if a molecule is dissolved in water.
Introduction:
Water is an important constituent that is present on the Earth. It is known as the universal liquid. It supports life on Earth. It has various properties such as polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds.

- The “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds thatatoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills itsouter shell of 8 electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electronstend to donate electrons and those with more than 4 valence electronstend to accept additional electrons; those with exactly 4 can do both.Using this rule, determine what category each of the followingelements falls into: N, S, C, P, O, H, Ca, Fe, and Mg. (You will needto work out the valence of the atoms.)arrow_forwardList and define four types of chemical bonds.arrow_forwardA peptide bond is: A covalent bond A hydrogen bond An ionic bond A Van der Waals interactionarrow_forward
