Q

stability of an atom with 8 valence electrons

A

Stable Octet

**All noble gases except He, have a stable octet and so are very stable and relatively inert with respect to bonding with each other/ with other elements.

Q

A ________results when electrons are not shared equally.

A

Polar Covalent Bonding

ex. HCl

sharing is not equal, Cl atom has a stronger attraction for the shared pair of electrons that does the H atom. This makes the Cl atom slightly NEGATIVE and the H atom slightly POSTIVE

17
Q

δ what is this used to represent?

A

That one atom has a slight positive/ negative charge only used for polar covalent bonding

18
Q

A ______ is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms

A

Double Covalent Bond

19
Q

Formed when three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms

A

Triple Covalent Bonding

20
Q

A bond in which both electrons of the sthared pair come from only one of the bonded atoms

A

Coordinate Covalent Bond

21
Q

What is this VSEPR Shape?

A

Tetrahedral 109.5 degrees

4 electron pairs

0 lone pairs

22
Q

What is this VSEPR Shape?

A

Trigonal Bipyramidal 90 degrees

120 degrees

180 degrees

4 electron pairs

23
Q

What is this VSEPR Shape?

A

Trigonal Planar

120 degrees

3 electron pairs

0 lone pairs

24
Q

A ____ is simply an extreme case of polar covalent bonding

A

Ionic

25
Q

A quantitative measure of an atom’s electron attracting ability

A

Electronegativity

26
Q

The ____ the electronegativity value, the ____ the attraction of electrons

A

higher, greater

lower, less

27
Q

Core Atom Exceptions to Octet Rule

A
  1. Be
  2. B
  3. S
  4. P
  5. Sn
28
Q

What is the ΔEneg for Pure Covalent Bonds?

A

ΔEneg= <0.5

NO EXCEPTIONS

29
Q

If Carbon has a electronegativity of 2.55 and Chlorine of 3.16 which one would be slightly more negative

A

Chlorine

*PLACE A for each atom δ- for each atom!!

30
Q

for a molecule to be polar…

A
  1. molecule must contain at least 1 polar bond
  2. molecule must be assymetrical

In the picture this molecule contains at least one polar bond and it is assymetrical (because one side is negative and the other positive)

****BOTH CONDITIONS MUST BE MET FOR IT TO BE POLAR***

31
Q

Can a pure covalent bond be polar?

A

No because neither atom can be slightly positive/negative and therefore it does not even satisfy the first requirement to have a polar bond.

32
Q

Do you draw a VSEPR diagram for ionic bonds?

A

No, this is because ionic bonds are attracted to each other because of attraction of opposites and does not have a specific shape in which they form. They are flat.
