4.9 The Localized e- bonding model Flashcards
0
Q
e- pairs in a molecule are assume to be localized on/in what
A
on a particular atom or in the space between atoms
1
Q
describe the localized e- model
A
it assumes that a molecule is made of atoms that are bound together by sharing pairs of e-‘s that use the atomic orbitals of the bound atoms
2
Q
what are lone pairs of e-‘s
A
e- pairs that are localized on a particular atom
3
Q
what do you call the pairs of e-‘s that are found in the space between the atoms?
A
bonding pairs
4
Q
what are the three parts of the localized e- model?
A
- lewis structure (used to describe the val e- arrangement)
- prediction of the geometry of the molecule using VSEPR model (valance shell e-pair repulsion)
- description of the type of atomic orbitals used to share e-‘s or hold lone pairs
5
Q
what is the most important requirement for the formation of a stable compound?
A
that the atoms achieve noble gas e- configs
