1.8 - 1.11 Flashcards
bonds between atoms with very large electronegativity differences (about _________) are usually drawn as ionic
1.5-2
resonance structures
structures where 2+ valence-bound are possible able, differing only in placement of electrons
resonance hybrid
actual molecule is hybrid of resonance forms
delocalized molecule
positive/negative charge is spread out over molecule/atoms
resonance-stabilized cation
spreading the + charge over 2 atoms to make the ion more stable than if the entire charge where localized on certain atoms
resonance: move _________ not ____________
electrons, atoms
do ind. resonance forms exist
no, forms hybrid w/ characteristics of both
major contributor
more stable resonance structure, closer representation of real molecule, has lowest energy
molecular formula
number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the compound
empirical formula
relative ratios of the elements present
