Bonding Flashcards
What is the name of this VSEPR Shape?
Bent 90-109 degrees
2 electron pairs
2 lone pairs
What is the name of this VSEPR Shape?
Bent 90-109 degrees
2 electron pairs
1 lone pair
___ is the smallest particle of an ellement that retains all the chemical properties of that element.
Atom
A ______ is any electrically neutral group of atoms that is held together tightly enough to be considered a single particle.
molecule
a metal reacts with a non-metal, electrons are transferred from metal to non-metal
Ionic Bond
When this happens the atoms of the non-metal become negatively charged ions, while atoms of the metal become positively charged ions.
Ionic Bonding
When an atom has the same elctron arrangement as another atom, the two atroms are referred to as ______.
Isoelectronic
ex. Na+ is isoelectronic with Ne
What is this VSEPR Shape?
Linear 180 degrees
2 electron pairs
0 lone pairs
____ the attraction between the atoms in a molecule.
Chemical Bonds
Chemical bond can form when….
electrons are simultaneously attracted to each others nuclei. Only valence electrons are involved in bonding.
____ are more stable than the isolated atoms from which they are formed
molecule
stability of an atom with 8 valence electrons
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.
when electrons are shared between two atoms
Covalent bond
What is this VSEPR Shape?
Octahedral 90 degrees
6 electron pairs
0 lone pairs
resembles the electron dot diagram, except that single lines are used to represent each shared pair of electrons and dots are used to represent electrons not involved in bonding.
