Make generalized statements about some differences between covalent and ionic compounds based on the
properties investigated.
Ionic compounds are created when two atoms, one of which is a metal, interact and exchange
electrons, as opposed to covalent compounds, which are created when two atoms share electrons.
B. SPATIAL STRUCRURE OF CARBON
1. What type of hybridized orbital is represented by the legs on the bows?
Unhybridized p orbital and Second unhybridized p orbital.

2. What is the angle between the legs on the bows?

The angle between the legs on the bows is 109.5 degrees.

3. How is this angle different from the angle of unhybridized p orbitals?

The VSEPR theory predicts that the orbitals are separated by 120° angles since the three hybrid
orbitals are all located in the same plane. At a 90° angle to the plane, the unhybridized atomic
p orbital is located. The greatest possible spacing of all orbitals is possible in this configuration.

4. Using the tetrahedrons to represent Carbon atom, how many points of the tetrahedron should
touch for a carbon-carbon single bond to form?
Using the tetrahedrons to represent Carbon atom, there is only 1 point of the tetrahedron should
touch for a carbon-carbon single bond.

5. Using the tetrahedrons to represent Carbon atom, how many points of the tetrahedron should
touch for a carbon-carbon double bond to form?
Using the tetrahedrons to represent Carbon atom, there are 2 points of the tetrahedron should
touch for a carbon-carbon double bond.

6. Using the tetrahedrons to represent Carbon atom, how many points of the tetrahedron should
touch for a carbon-carbon triple bond to form?
Using the tetrahedrons to represent Carbon atom, there are 3 points of the tetrahedron should
touch for a carbon-carbon triple bond.

7. Based on the figures (bows and tetrahedron) made, can carbon atoms form a quadruple
bond? Explain.
 This explains why a carbon atom can make double and triple bonds with another carbon atom
but cannot form a quadruple bond by sharing all four valence electrons with a single carbon
atom. The majority of naturally occurring chemicals on Earth are carbon-based.
