True or False
1. Nonpolar covalent bonds have a low ionic character.
2. Atoms tend to form bonds so that each atom has 12 electrons in its highest energy level.
3. Long covalent bonds have more energy than short covalent bonds.
4. Multiple covalent bonds usually have less energy than single covalent bonds.
5. A hydrogen atom is attracted to an unshared pair of electrons with London forces.
6. Nonmetals are usually more electronegative than metals.
7. When drawing a Lewis structure, the most electronegative atom is placed in the center (except for hydrogen).
8. Lattice energy is the energy released when an ionic crystal forms. It is greater than the energy needed to break the crystal apart.
