Nonmetals are unlikely to have metallic bonding because they do not have the free-flowing electrons necessary for this type of bonding. Metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons moving freely throughout a lattice of metal cations, which nonmetals do not possess. Instead, nonmetals are more likely to form covalent or ionic bonds depending on their electronegativity.

What type of bonding around a central atom would result in trigonal planar molecule?

Three groups bound to it with no lone pairs


What ion would the selenium atom shown below bond with to form a stable ionic compound?

The selenium atom shown below has 2 extra electrons, so it would likely bond with an atom that needs 2 electrons to fill its outer shell. For example, selenium could form a stable ionic compound by bonding with an atom like oxygen, which has a tendency to gain 2 electrons to achieve a full outer shell configuration.


Which intermolecular force would affect melting point the most?

Hydrogen bonding


What is the difference between intra-molecular bonding and inter-molecular interaction?

Intermolecular is the bonding between the molecules (what connects them all together) For example dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding (HFON)Intramolecular is the bonding between the atoms like ionic covalent or metallic.For example in a water molecule the intermolecular bonding would be the hydrogen bonding. The non-bonding pairs will connect with other water molecules non-bonding pairs to create a hydrogen bond. Whereas the intramolecular bonding would be covalent. Because that's what joins the individual hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom.


Which type of bonding would be expected between S and CI?

The bonding between Sulfur (S) and Chlorine (Cl) would be expected to be a covalent bond. In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell and form a stable molecule, as is the case with sulfur and chlorine in molecules like sulfur dichloride (SCl2).

When is the BBC-HBO series The passion being shown in America?

Early speculation was that it would be shown Easter 2009, but there has been no word on this from HBO and it looks very unlikely that it will be on this Easter. On the assumption that HBO will want to show it during the Easter period, the best guess at this point is Easter 2010.

an unlikely friendship is when two or more people that don't seem like they would be friends are in fact friends. e.g. an unlikely friendship would be a mean person and a kind person are BFF.
