6. Clicker #1
Arrange the following bonds from the least polar to the most polar bond.
C–F, Na–F, Ge–F, Si–F
a) C–F < Ge–F < Si–F < Na–F
b) Si–F < C–F < Ge–F < Na–F
c) C–F < Si–F < Ge–F < Na–F
d) Na–F < Ge–F < Si–F < C–F
e) Na–F < C–F < Si–F < Ge–F

7. Clicker #2
How many electrons would hydrogen have to share in a covalent bond in order to have a noble gas electron configuration?
A) 0
B) 2
C) 3
D) 6
E) 8

8. Clicker #3
Element “X” in this Lewis structure comes from period 4 (row 4) on the periodic table. What is its identity?
A) F
B) Cl
C) Br
D) S
E) Se

9. General Guidelines…
The total number of electrons in your Lewis structure must equal the total number of valence electrons.
The least electronegative atom (usually written first) is typically the central atom (except for hydrogen).
Follow the octet rule.
Follow the duet rule for hydrogen.
Trial and error – add double and triple bonds as necessary until octet (or duet) rule is satisfied & valence electrons add up.
