8 Covalent Bonds And Molecular Forces Flashcards
Covalent bonds
Sharing of valence electrons
Single vs Multiple Bonds
(Single) Bond Energy
(Double) Diatonic
(Triple) Bond Length
Bond energy vs Bond length
Amount of energy vs Distance
Electronegativity
measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
Nonpolar/Polar/Ionic Bonds
Equally/not equally
Naming a covalent molecule
1) -ide
2) never use mono on first element
Lewis dot structure
diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule
VSPER theory
Max attraction, min repulsion
Polar molecules
Equal
Intermolecular forces
mediate interaction between molecules. They also include forces of attraction or repulsion which act between molecules and other types of neighboring particles
London dispersion forces
weakest intermolecular force. The London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles
Dipole vs Hydrogen
Oppositely charged end
Nitrogen oxygen fluorine
