Draw the atomic orbit structure diagram for formation of a -
(a) water molecule
(b) ammonia molecule
[at. no. H=1, O=8, N=7]
State why water has two lone pairs of electrons in it's covalent molecule while ammonia has one lone pair.
Give a reason why one atom of carbon shares four electron pairs, one with each of the four atoms of chlorine during the formation of covalent molecule - carbon tetrachloride.
Name the following:
- An electrovalent compound formed by transfer of one electron from a metallic atom to a non-metallic atom.
- A covalent hydrocarbon molecule, having four single covalent bonds.
- A covalent molecule, having two lone pair of electrons.
- A covalent molecule having a triple covalent bond.
- A covalent molecule having two shared pairs of electrons in it's molecule.
