33. Explain, using your Pauling Scale, why Chlorine always has an oxidation of -1, except when
bonded to Nitrogen, Fluorine or Oxygen?
34. Pure water ionises to form H3O+ and OH ions, although only to a very small extent. Draw dot-
and cross diagrams of these ions. Use dots (•) for the hydrogen electrons and crosses (x) for
the oxygen electrons.
35. State the oxidation number of hydrogen and oxygen in water.
36. State the shape, and explain the bond angle of a molecule of water.
37. Explain why both water and carbon dioxide molecules have polar bonds but only water is a
polar molecule.
