Select the statement that best describes covalent bonds

• Covalent bonds result from metal atoms exchanging at least some of their valence electrons to form an octet.

• Covalent bonds form when atoms of nonmetals are close enough to each other for their orbitals to overlap resulting in shared electrons.

Organic chemists identified four different liquids of varying volatilities that they want to test further. They want to compare the overall volatility and intermolecular forces of these liquids. Look at the picture. For closed beaker, the circles indicate the amount of liquid volatility. A beaker with a large number of circles would have more liquid volatility than a beaker with only a few circles. Which option correctly ranks the liquids in the order of increasing intermolecular forces?

• IV

• WEAKEST intermolecular forces

• II

• second WEAKEST intermolecular forces

• III

• Second STRONGEST intermolecular forces

• I

• STRONGEST intermolecular forces

Which of the molecules has the highest boiling point?

• Liquid 1: CH₄

• Liquid 2: CH₃CH₃

• Liquid 3: CH₃CH₂CH₃

• Liquid 4: CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃

Select the statement that best describes the difference between the compound Br₂ and the compound NaBr.

• The melting point of NaBr would be significantly HIGHER than that of Br₂ because NaBr is an ionic compound whereas Br₂ is a covalent compound.

• The melting point of NaBr would be significantly LOWER than that of Br₂ because NaBr is an ionic compound whereas Br₂ is a covalent compound.
