one

two

three

infinite

Element A has an electronegativity of 0.8 and element B has an electronegativity of 3.0. Which statement best describes the bonding in A3B?

The compound is largely ionic with A as the cation.

What mass of ammonia , NH3 , contains the same number of molecules as 3.00 g of trichlorofluoromethane, CCl3F?

0.0412 g

Which of these ions is the largest?

The compound is largely ionic with A as the anion. The AB bond is largely covalent with a + on A. The AB bond is largely covalent with a - on A.

What mass of ammonia , NH3 , contains the same number of molecules as 3.00 g of trichlorofluoromethane, CCl3F?

2.69 g 0.371 g 24.2 g

0.0412 g

Which of these ions is the largest?

S2- I- Cl- O2-

Explanation / Answer

4. I- IS THE LARGEST ION AMONG ALL DUE TO ITS ATOMIC NUMBER AND SHELLS PRESENT IN IT

3.The AB bond is largely covalent with a + on A.

EXAMPLE BF3

Boron doesn't form ions because the total energy needed to remove three electrons to form a B3+ ion is simply too great to be recoverable when attractions are set up between the boron and fluoride ions.
