14. Chapter 18/14 Binary Hydrides Covalent Hydrides Common hydrides of nonmetallic elements, such as diborane (B 2 H 6 ), methane (CH 4 ), ammonia (NH 3 ), water (H 2 O), and hydrogen halides (HX; X = F, Cl, Br, or I ). In general, their intermolecular forces are relatively weak so they exist as gases or volatile liquids at ordinary temperatures.

Chapter 18/15 Binary Hydrides Metallic Hydrides Formed by the reaction of the lanthanides and actinide metals and certain d-block transition metals with variable amounts of hydrogen with the general formula MH x.

16. Chapter 18/16 Oxygen Priestly called the gas “dephlogistated air.” Lavoisier called it “oxygen” which means “acid former.” Gaseous O 2 condenses at -183 °C to form a pale blue liquid and freezes at -219 to give a pale blue solid. Joseph Priestly and Karl Wilhelm Scheele are credited for isolating and characterizing oxygen between 1771 and 1774: 2Hg(l) + O 2 (g)2HgO(s) Heat

37. Chapter 18/37 Ozone While dilute gaseous ozone decomposes slowly, the concentrated gas, liquid ozone (bp -111 °C), and solid ozone (mp -193 °C) can all decompose explosively. Two resonance structures are needed to explain the structure of the ozone molecule because the two O-O bonds have equal lengths:
