Understanding Molecular Level Explanations

[bjoyful]

Hi-

What is molecular level? I am running into questions that ask for such and such to be explained on a molecular level?

What are the "such and such" questions?

"At the molecular level" means exactly that: you are being asked to describe or model something in terms of molecular interactions rather than adopting macroscopic, phenomenological models.

example of "such and such" questionow can you explain on the molecular level the conclusion you reached in part B

(fyi: part B stated, "What general correlations can be drawn about the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms and their tendency to form ionic or covalent bonds." I had previously calcuated electronegativity difference between chlorine and sodium, and between chlorine and silicon).

Thanks for your help:)

What happens at the molecular level. ie. what is going on with the electrons of the atoms and the atoms themselves?
