(b) The molecule formed is less stable than the individual atoms. (c) The bonding electrons are shared equally between the atoms. (d) An increase of energy results from such bond formation. 2. Which of the following atoms will likely form a covalent bond with the atoms

of chlorine?

5. The lattice energy of sodium chloride is 781 kJ/mol. What does this measure? (a) the bond energy between Na
+ (g)

and Cl(g) ions

(b) the energy required to melt sodium chloride (c) the net amount of energy produced when the elements sodium and

chlorine react
(d) the sum of the ionization energy for sodium and the electron affinity

for chlorine
6. Oxygen is a gas at temperatures above 155 K. Very little energy is required to

change oxygen from solid to liquid, and from liquid to gas. However, temperatures of thousands of degrees Kelvin do not cause appreciable decomposition of the O2 molecules. What type of bonding/forces is primarily responsible for holding the two oxygen atoms together in a molecule of oxygen gas, O2?
(a) ionic bonding (c) electrostatic forces (b) gravitational forces (d) free-electron bonding
