5. When two atoms differing in electronegativity are joined in a covalent bond, then the:

a. electrons are shared equally between the atoms.

b. bond is nonpolar.

c. resulting compound is devoid of any dipole moment.

d. atom with the greater electronegativity attracts the bonded electrons more strongly.

Ans: d

Question Type: Multiple Choice

Chapter: 2

Blooms: Understanding

Difficulty: Moderate

6. The interactions between two proteins such as an antibody and an antigen or a hormone and its receptor are quite strong
despite the fact that these interactions consist of relatively weak noncovalent bonds. How can this be?

Ans: Two proteins can bind tightly because of molecular complementarity, in which multiple noncovalent bonds participate.
Although each individual bond is weak, the cumulative effect of many noncovalent bonds is a relatively strong and highly
specific interaction.

Question Type: Essay

Blooms: Analyzing

Difficulty: Moderate

7. What produces the dipole of a water molecule?

Ans: The dipole of a water molecule is caused by the difference in electronegativity between O and H. The oxygen atom has a
greater electronegativity than the hydrogen atom. As a result, oxygen attracts the electrons in the OH bond more strongly,
and the oxygen side of the bond has a slight net negative charge. This results in a dipole moment.
