4. Which pair of atoms are Isotopes (atoms having the same atomic number but different atomic mass)?

 C and F, with atomic number of 50

5. Which pairs of atoms are Isobars (atoms with the same atomic mass but different atomic numbers)?

 B and D, with atomic mass of 96

Bond Types in Chemical Combination

1. Ionic or Electrovalent bond. Illustrate the formation of ionic bond first with sodium and chlorine and
then with Magnesium and Fluorine. Indicate the charge and configuration of each of the resulting ions.

a. Na + Cl =
b. Mg + F

2. Covalent Bond. Illustrate the covalent linkage or sharing of electrons in the formation of the following
molecules.
