B. ( 5, 0, 0, -1/2 )
C. ( 6, 0, 0,+1/2 )
D. ( 1, 0, 0, +1/2 )
E. ( 4, 3, -3, +1/2 )
Phosgene, COCl2, is a starting material in the production of plastics. What kind of bond is formed between carbon and chlorine in the phosgene molecule? Electronegativity values: C:2.5; O: 3.5; Cl: 3.0
A. pure covalent
B. coordinate covalent
C. polar covalent
D. ionic
E. metallicCs has electron config of [Xe]6s1
so n= 6 for an s orbital l = 0 , ml = 0 ms = +1/2 or -1/2
so the correct answer is "C"
second problem:
C. polar covalent the electronegativity difference between carbon and Cl is 0.5 so the bond is polar covalent
