Chemistry
Differentiate between the following with a suitable example :
Single covalent bond & triple covalent bond.
Answer
| Single Covalent Bond | Triple Covalent Bond |
|---|---|
| The chemical bond formed due to mutual sharing of one pair of electrons between the given pair of atoms of non-metallic elements is called a Single Covalent Bond. | The chemical bond formed due to mutual sharing of three pairs of electrons between the given pair of atoms of non-metallic elements is called a Triple Covalent Bond. |
| E.g., Hydrogen [H - H] | E.g., Nitrogen [N ≡ N] |

If the atomic number of element 'X' is 11 and of element 'Y' is 17 —
- State why an electron is transferred from 'X' to 'Y' during the formation of 'X Y'
- Give a reason why electrons are not shared between 'X' & 'Y' — during the formation of 'XY'
- State the difference between 'X' and 'X1+'
- Does 'Y1-' have a stable or an unstable electronic configuration.
- If a compound is formed from atom A [at. no.19] and an atom Y [at. no. 17], would the compound 'AY' be an electrovalent or covalent compound. Give reasons.
