Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.37 Covalent Bonds, Bond Order, and Bond Energy skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An unknown bond in a series for the same atom pair has four pieces of evidence: short bond length, high bond energy, deep potential-energy well, and three shared electron pairs in a model. Which conclusion is best supported?

AThe bond has bond order zero and is not stable.

BThe bond is most consistent with a weak single bond.

CThe evidence is unrelated to covalent bonding.

DThe bond has high bond order, most consistent with a triple bond.

Solution & Explanation:All four clues point to high bond order: short length, high energy, a deep well, and three shared electron pairs. That pattern is most consistent with a triple bond.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A proposed material contains many short, high-energy covalent bonds in its network. Which statement best connects the bonding to the material's likely properties?

AThe material must melt easily because strong bonds release energy when broken.

BThe material cannot be solid because covalent bonds only occur in gases.

CThe strong covalent network may have high hardness and a high melting point because many bonds require large energy to disrupt.

DThe bond energies do not matter because networks contain no atoms.

Solution & Explanation:Materials with extended networks of strong covalent bonds can be difficult to deform or melt because disrupting the structure requires breaking many strong bonds.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

For the same X-Y atom pair, a table lists bond energies: X-Y = 250 kJ/mol, X=Y = 480 kJ/mol, and X≡Y = 710 kJ/mol. On a potential energy diagram, which well should be deepest?

Athe X-Y well

Bthe X≡Y well

Cthe X=Y well

Dall wells should have the same depth

Solution & Explanation:The deepest potential-energy well corresponds to the largest bond energy. The triple bond has the largest listed value.
