Q

Reasons why octet rule is not perfect

A
  1. Ions of period 1 and 2 elements with charges greater than +2 are unstable. (i.e., unstable ang B+3, C+/-4)
  2. Does not apply to Group 1B-7B (transition elements). (i.e. Cu can either be Cu+1 or Cu+2)

Q

Atoms and their ions are…

A

completely different chemical species and have completely different chemical and physical properties

(i.e. sodium and chlorine atoms are both poisonous. However, NaCl (sodium and chlorine ions) is a common table salt)

(i.e. F2 poisonous and corrosive gas. F- ion in the form of NaF is used for toothpastes)

Q

Naming monoatomic ions

A

•Elements of Group 1A, 2A, 3A form only one type of cation
-name of metal followed by “ion”
-i.e. Na+ sodium ion

•Transition elements form more than one type of cation
-write the charge in roman numeral right after the name of metal (i.e. Cu+2 Copper (II) ion)
-no need to do this if the transition element can only form one cation (i.e. Ag+ Silver ion)

Q

Predicting formulas of ionic compound

A

-the total number of positive charges must equal the total number of negative charges (i.e. Al+3 and S-2 ➡️ Al2S3)

-subscripts in the formulas for ionic compound represent the ratio of ions; reduce to lowest term (i.e. BaO)

Q

How to name ionic compounds
3. Ionic compounds that contain polyatomic ions

A

-name the positive ion first and then the negative ion, separate word
-i.e. (NH4)2SO3 ammonium sulfite
NaH2PO4 sodium dihydrogen phosphate

19
Q

Formation of covalent bond

A

-electron pairs are shared between two atoms
-filld the valence shell of each electron
-electronegativity difference is less than 1.9

20
Q

Nonpolar covalent bond

A

-electrons are shared equally
-difference of electronegativity: Less than 0.5

21
Q

Polar covalent bond

A

-electrons are shared unequally
-electronegativity difference 0.5-1.9
-more electronegative atom gains greater fraction of shared electrons; gains partial negative charge
-less electronegative atom gains lesser fraction of shared electrons; gains partial positive charge

22
Q

Dipole

A

-chemical species which there is a separation of charge; positive and negative poles

23
Q

Bonding electrons

A

Valence electrons involved in forming a covalent bond (shared electrons)

24
Q

Nonbonding electrons

A

Valence electrons not involved in forming covalent bonds (unshared electrons)

25
Q

Single bond

A

A bond formed by sharing one pair of electrons and represented by single line between two atoms

26
Q

Lewis structure

A

A formula for a molecule or ion showing all pairs of bonding electron as single/ double/ triple bonds and all nonbonded electrons as pair of lewis dots

27
Q

Structural formula

A

-Formula showing how atoms in a molecule or ion are bonded together
-similar to lewis structure BUT shows ONLY THE BONDING PAIRS of electrons

28
Q

Double bond

A

-sharing of two pairs of electrons represented by two lines
-most common between atoms of C, N, O, S

29
Q

Triple bond

A

-sharing of three pairs of electrons represented by three lines
-most common between atoms of C and N

30

Exceptions to octet rule

A

-molecules that contain an atom with more than eight electrons in its valence shell
-atoms of period 3 elements have one 3s, three 3p, and five 3d orbitals; can accommodate more than eight electrons in their valence shell

Phosphorus pentachloride (10 e)
Phosphoric acid (10 e)

31
Q

How to name binary covalent compound

A
  1. Name the less electronegative element
  2. Name the more electronegative element and add -ide
