Map Sapling Learning a macmillan learning Use Figure 5.11 in your 5th edition textbook (or Figure 5.10 in the 3rd or 4th edition) to classify these compounds by bond type. Electronegativity values (AVEE scale) can be found in Figure 4.8a of your textbook. Metallic Semimetallic Ionic Covalent AIH3 GeBr3 PCI3 Tio Previous Give Up & View Solution Check Answer Next Exit B Hint Determine the difference between the electronegativity values of the two elements, AEN, as well as the average electronegativity of the two elements in each compound.Explanation / Answer
The main question here is to classify these compounds by their nature of bonding
TiO : Ionic bonds will be formed with cations Ti2+ and O2-. Electronegativity diff is 2.31 (high enough to form ionic bonds
PCl3 : Clearly this is a case of covalent bond formation. Electronegativity difference is only about 0.62 and so there will not be sufficient separation of charge.
AlH3 : Covalent, electronegativity difference is 0.69
GeBr3 :Covalent: electronegativity difference is 0.7
