  • Q17
    What is the fundamental difference between covalent and ionic bonding?
    In a covalent bond, the partners have identical electronegativity; in an ionic bond, one of them is more electronegative.
    In a covalent bond, the partners share a pair of electrons; in an ionic bond, one partner captures an electron from the other
    Covalent bonding involves only the outer electron shell; ionic bonding also involves the next inner electron shell
    Covalent bonds form between atoms of the same element; ionic bonds, between atoms of different elements

  • Q18
    Many fabrics are coated with a "water-repellent" chemical that causes water to bead on the fabric instead of soaking in. This probably occurs because
    the coating is neutral, and therefore repels water, which is also neutral.
    he coating has negative charges that repel the negatively charged ends of the water molecules
    the coating has positive charges that repel the positively charged ends of the water molecules.
    the coating is neutral and repels the positive and negative ends of the water molecules.

  • Q19
    The oxygen atom of a water molecule
    is more negatively charged due to gaining protons from hydrogen
    hogs all of the protons due to a higher electronegativity and is therefore more positive than hydrogen
    is more positively charged than the hydrogen atoms.
    hogs all of the electrons due to a higher electronegativity and is therefore more negative than hydrogen
