SUMMATIVE TEST 3 & 4

(NO ERASURES)
TEST I. Tell what type of bond present between the following pairs of atoms, by
determining its electronegativity difference. Write your answers inside the box. (2pts)

Table 1. Type of bond based on electronegativity difference (ΔEN) of bonded atoms

Type of Bond Electronegativity Difference (ΔEN)
Ionic ≥1.7
Polar Covalent 0.5 to 1.6
Nonpolar Covalent ≤0.4

Table 2: Periodic Table of Electronegativity

Use table 1 and 2 as reference in answering the following.

1. Ca and Cl 3. H and Cl 5. C and N

2. Cl and Cl 4. S and O
TEST II. TRUE OR FALSE. Write True if the statement is correct, otherwise write False.
______________1. Vinegar is a viscous substance.
______________2. Vapor pressure is inversely proportional to the strength of intermolecular
forces present.
______________3. Alcohol is less volatile than vinegar.
______________4. The floating of an ice on liquid water is an indication that ice has higher
density than liquid water.
______________5. H-bonds are broken when ice melts.
______________6. Molecules with H-bonds have higher boiling point than molecules with
dipole-dipole bond.
______________7. The volatility of a substance depends on its vapor pressure.
______________8. When the attractive forces holding particles together are greater, you get
to a higher temperature to break those forces, so the melting point is higher.
______________9. Surface tension refers to the energy required to increase the surface area
by a unit amount.
______________10. Viscosity is the resistance of the liquid to flow.
TEST III. Write P for Polar molecules and NP for Nonpolar molecules. (2pts each)
______ 1. High boiling point ______7. Low boiling point
______ 2. High melting point _______8. Low melting point
______ 3. Low volatility _______9. High Volatility
______ 4. Low vapor pressure _______10. High vapor pressure
______ 5. High surface tension _______ 11. Low surface tension
______ 6. H-bonding & dipole-dipole present ______12. London dispersion is present

Stay safe and God Bless…

Answer key:
Test I.
1. ENCa = 1.0
ENCl = 3.0
(ΔEN) = 1.0 – 3.0 = |-2.0| = 2.0 = ionic bond

2. ENCl = 3.0
ENCl = 3.0
(ΔEN) = 3.0 – 3.0 = 0 = nonpolar covalent bond

3. ENH = 2.1
ENCl = 3.0
(ΔEN) = 2.1 – 3.0 = |-0.9| = 0.9 = polar covalent bond

4. ENS = 2.5
ENO = 3.5
(ΔEN) = 2.5 – 3.5 = |-1.0| = 1.0 = polar covalent bond

5. ENC = 2.5
ENN = 3.0
(ΔEN) = 2.5 – 3.0 = |-0.5| = 0.5 = polar covalent bond
TEST II.
1. False
2. False
3. False
