SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on identifying types of chemical bonds based on electron transfer and sharing. The correct answers provided are Y for a bond with transferred electrons, X for equally shared electrons, Z for a bond causing partial charges, and 4 for the anion. Additionally, Y is noted as the bond that would result in the highest melting point. The participants clarify that anions are negatively charged atoms, often formed through electron transfer.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical bonding types: ionic, covalent, and polar covalent bonds
  • Knowledge of electronegativity and its role in bond formation
  • Familiarity with the concept of anions and cations
  • Basic principles of melting points in relation to bond types
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the differences between ionic and covalent bonds in detail
  • Research the concept of electronegativity and its impact on bond polarity
  • Explore the properties of anions and their formation in chemical reactions
  • Investigate how bond types influence the physical properties of compounds, including melting points
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and professionals in the field of chemistry who are interested in understanding chemical bonding and its implications on compound properties.

1. which letter shows a bond where electrons are being transferred?
2. which letter shoes a bond where electrons are equally shared?
3. which letter shows a bond that would cause each atom to become partially charged
4. which atom can be considered an anion?
5. which bond above would cause the compound to have the highest melting point?

answers: Y,X,Z,4,Y


are they correct??
thanks!

P.S. EN stands for electronegativity

anion i believe is negative charged atom correct, so then i am correct by saying that it is atom 4 in question #4
 
remember, anions occur when electrons are transfered...
 
so it would be 3 then?
 
well it depends what '3' is attached to. fluorocarbons are not ionicly bonded, but fluorine is commonly an anion. So both 3 and 4 could be anions, but it would depend what they are bonded with.
