Solutions to In-Chapter Problems

3.1 The position of the elements in the periodic table determines the type of bonds they form. When a metal and nonmetal combine, as in (b) and (c), the bond is ionic. When two nonmetals combine, or when a metalloid bonds to a nonmetal, the bond is covalent.

a. CO covalent c. MgO ionic e. HF covalent b. CaF2 ionic d. Cl2 covalent f. C2H6 covalent

3.2 An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by a chemical reaction. A compound is a pure substance formed by combining two or more elements together. A is composed of that are covalently bonded together.

a. CO2 compound, molecule c. NaF compound e. F2 element, molecule

b. H2O compound, molecule d. MgBr2 compound f. CaO compound

3.3 Vitamin C (C6H8O6) is likely to contain covalent bonds because it consists of the nonmetals C, H, and O.

3.4 The number of protons equals the atomic number. The charge is determined by comparing the number of protons and . If the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons, the charge is negative. If the number of protons is greater than the number of electrons, the charge is positive.

a. 19 protons and 18 electrons = K+ c. 35 protons and 36 electrons = Br– b. 7 protons and 10 electrons = N3– d. 23 protons and 21 electrons = V2+

3.5 Use the identity of the element to determine the number of protons. The charge tells how many more or fewer electrons there are compared to the number of protons. A positive charge means more protons than electrons, while a negative charge means more electrons than protons.

a. Ni2+ = 28 protons, 26 electrons c. Zn2+ = 30 protons, 28 electrons b. Se2– = 34 protons, 36 electrons d. Fe3+ = 26 protons, 23 electrons

3.11 •Identify the cation and the anion, and use the periodic table to determine the charges. •When of equal charge combine, one of each is needed. When ions of unequal charge combine, use the ionic charges to determine the relative number of each ion. •Write the formula with the cation first and then the anion, omitting charges, and using subscripts to indicate the number of each ion.

3.14 When a metal forms more than one cation, the cations are named by one of two methods. Method [1]: Follow the name of the cation by a Roman numeral in parentheses to indicate its charge. Method [2]: Use the suffix -ous for the cation with the lower charge, and the suffix -ic for the cation with the higher charge. These suffixes are often added to the Latin names of the elements. Anions are named by replacing the ending of the element name by the suffix -ide.
