Chapter 2 HW Review Introductory Chemistry.

1. Label whether the covalent bonds below are polar or nonpolar covalent. Focus on the bonds in the
center (the other lines depict that the atoms are bonded to other atoms most likely). If they are polar,
draw the appropriate partial charges.
Electronegativity chart
1.) Nonpolar

O C O C H
2.) Polar: C is +, O is -
3.) Polar: C is -, H is +
4.) Polar: O is -, H is + 5.) Polar: N is -, H is + 6.)
H
Nonpolar O N H N N

Note: I am unable to obtain a copy of the homework with the proper bond
diagrams, but I have copied down the correct bonds on a separate sheet of paper and I will be referring to that in
my answers.

2. Place these bonds according to their charge below (Add H2O and Na+)

H2O Na+

3. Label below (Not all will be used) :

 Nonpolar Covalent: none
2 Polar Covalent: bond between red and two whites
4 Hydrogen Bond: dashed lines between one molecule’s white and another’s red
2 Hydrogen Atoms: whites
1 Oxygen atoms: reds
All Partially Positive Atoms: all whites
All Partially Negative Atoms: all reds

1. Nonpolar Covalent
2. 2 Polar Covalent
3. 4 Hydrogen Bond
4. 2 Hydrogen Atoms
5. 1 Oxygen atoms
6. All Partially Positive Atoms
7. All Partially Negative Atoms.

4. If I would heat this drop of water, from the options above which bond would break first if given enough
energy.
If given enough energy, the hydrogen bond would break first because it is the weakest bond of the ones
listed above.
