2.2- covalent model Flashcards
covalent bonding
electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and positively charged nuclei
whats the definition of the covalent bond iself
electrostatic attraction of the positive nucleii for the region of negatively charged jigh electron density
whats the region of high electron density
space between the atoms where a pair of electrons are shared
atoms forming a covalent bond will achieve a lower energy state by…
sharing electrons and have a full valence shell. This can be doen by either forming single double or triple bond
octet rule
filling of the valence shell to achieve 8 electrons, this rule can in certain circumstances be broken
electronegativity
relative measure of attraction of an atom for a pair of electrons (in a covalent bond)
effective nucleus charge determines
electronegativity and ionization energy
