2. No hydrogen bonding between H2S2 molecules
The power of an atom to attract electrons towards itself In a covalent
bond
Suggest why the electronegativity of the elements increases from
, 3
lithium to fluorine.
1. More protons
2. Same shielding
State the type of bonding in lithium fluoride.
Explain why a lot of energy is needed to melt a sample of solid
lithium fluoride.
1. Ionic
2. Strong electrostatic attractions between + and − ions
