Additional Questions:

1.  Which of the following compounds are covalently bonded? (circle all that apply)

a. NO2 b. CCl4 c. CuS d. NH4Cl e. BH3 f. BaCO3

2.  How many sigma and pi bonds are there in the following molecule?

Sigma __3__ Pi __2__

3.  In the diagram above, which has the shorter bond length, the carbon to carbon bond, or the carbon to hydrogen bond? Which bond would require more energy to break? Explain.

Carbon to Carbon. As the bond number increases the bond length decreases. The carbon to carbon bond would be harder to break because you would essentially need an amount of energy equal to the that amount that is given off as the bond forms.
