- Which of the following atoms would be expected to form negative ions in binary ionic compounds and which would be expected to form positive ions: Br, Ca, Na, N, F, Al, Sn, S, Cd?arrow_forwardArrange the following series of compounds in order of increasing lattice energies. (a) NaBr, NaCl, KBr (b) MgO, CaO, CaCl2 (c) LiF, BeF2, BeOarrow_forwardWhich of the following atoms would be expected to form negative ions in binary ionic compounds and which would be expected to form positive ions: P, I, Mg, Cl, In, Cs, O, Pb, Co?arrow_forward
- The equation for the combustion of gaseous methanol is 2 CH3OH(g) + 3 O2(g) 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) (a) Using the bond dissociation enthalpies in Table 8.8, estimate the enthalpy change for this reaction. What is the enthalpy of combustion of one mole of gaseous methanol? (b) Compare your answer in part (a) with the value of tHcalculated using enthalpies of formation data.arrow_forwardUsing the bond dissociation enthalpies in Table 8.8, estimate the enthalpy of combustion of gaseous methane, CH4, to give water vapor and carbon dioxide gas.arrow_forwardDefine the term lattice energy. Why, energetically, do ionic compounds form? Fig. 3-8 illustrates the energy changes involved in the formation of MgO(s) and NaF(s). Why is the lattice energy of MgO(s) so different from that of NaF(s)? The magnesium oxide is composed of Mg2+ and O2 ions. Energetically, why does Mg2+O2 form and not Mg+O? Why doesnt Mg3+O3 form?arrow_forward
- Which compound in each of the following pairs of ionic substances has the most negative lattice energy? Justify your answers. a. LiF, CsF b. NaBr, NaI c. BaCl2, BaO d. Na2SO4, CaSO4 e. KF, K2O f. Li2O, Na2Sarrow_forwardThink of forming an ionic compound as three steps (this is a simplification, as with all models): (I) removing an electron from the metal; (2) adding an electron to the nonmetal; and (3) allowing the metal cation and nonmetal anion to come together. a. What is the sign of the energy change for each of these three processes? b. In general, what is the sign of the sum of the first two processes? Use examples to support your answer. c. What must be the sign of the sum of the three process d. Given your answer to part c, why do ionic bonds occur? e. Given your above explanations, why is NaCl stable but not Na2Cl? NaCl2? What about MgO compared to MgO2? Mg2O?arrow_forwardExplain the decomposition of nitroglycerin in terms of relative bond enthalpies.arrow_forward
- Draw Lewis symbols for the following ions. a. O2 b. S2 c. Si4 d. Clarrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds requires the most energy to convert one mole of the solid into separate ions? (a) MgO (b) SrO (c) KF (d) CsF (e) MgF2arrow_forwardBond polarities play an important role in determining the structure of proteins. Using the electronegativity values as shown, arrange the following covalent bonds—all commonly found in amino acids—in orderof increasing polarity. Then designate the positive and negative atoms using the symbols δ+ and δ–: C–H, C–N, C–O, N–H, O–H, S–Harrow_forward
