Chemical Bonding2. Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F): (6 pts)
(a) Colligative properties depend on the number of molecules present, not on the kind of
molecules used.
(b) Under identical conditions, the vapor pressure of a solution is expected to be higher than
that of the pure solvent from which it is made.
(c) Adding a nonvolatile solute to a pure solvent will decrease its freezing point.
(d) Adding a nonvolatile solute to a pure solvent will increase its vapor pressure.
(e) Adding a nonvolatile solute to a pure solvent will increase its boiling point.
(f) Osmotic pressure is not a colligative property and has no dependence on solute
concentration.

1. Electronegativity values increase from left to right across a period in the periodic table because there
is an increase in the negative charge of the nuclei in this direction.
2. These values also increase from the bottom to the top of a group because the size of the atom
decreases, resulting in a larger distance between the nucleus and the valence electron shell, which
increases the attraction between the protons and electrons.
3. When considering both carbon and oxygen, oxygen is more electronegative because it appears
further to the right in the same period of the periodic table.
4. When considering chlorine and iodine, chlorine is more electronegative because it appears
higher in the same group of the periodic table.
