e) NaHSO4___________________________________ j) H2C2O4______________________________________
k) Na2C2O4 __________________________________
4. For each of the following-

Draw all possible Lewis formulas

Determine which bonds are ionic, which are polar covalent, which non-polar
covalents and pure covalents, which are sigma and which are pi, which are
coordinant covalent bonds.

Find the bond energy of each bond and determine which compound needs more
energy to completely decompose it. Would the results lead you to determine which
are more stables? Why?

Classify each compound as either ionic or polar, nonpolar, or pseudoelectrolytes.

a) CaCl2

d) BeCl2

g) Br2

j) KMnO4

b) KCl

e) CS2

h) C3H7N
