Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices provided. (1) The predicted formula of the simplest molecular compound formed between nitrogen and fluorine is NF₂.
(2) The majority of compounds contain covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds.
(3) In VSEPR theory, double bonds exert double the influence of single bonds in determining molecular geometry.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

(1) The predicted formula of the simplest molecular compound formed between nitrogen and fluorine is NF3, not NF₂, making this statement false. (2) It is true that the majority of compounds contain covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds, as covalent bonding is common in both organic and inorganic chemistry, encompassing a vast number of compounds. (3) In VSEPR theory, double bonds do not exert double the influence of single bonds in determining molecular geometry; they are considered as a single electron domain, similar to single bonds, making this statement false.
