Q

what do lone and bonding pairs do to each other

A

repel each other
lone pairs repel 2-2.5 degrees more than bp

Q

what is electronegativity

A

ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond

20
Q

what affects electronegativity

A

atomic radius and number of protons

21
Q

what element is most electronegative

A

fluorine

22
Q

what are polar bonds

A

bonds that have a permanent uneven distribution of electron density caused by a large difference in electronegativity

23
Q

what causes symmetrical molecules

A

the electronegative elements pull in equal and opposite directions so cancel out

24
Q

what does d+ mean

A

positive charge
less electron density
less electronegative

25
Q

what is hydrogen bonding

A

the electrostatic attraction in a hydrogen bond is between the lone pair on the N/O/F and the d+ hydrogen
is between molecules
* strongest intermolecular foce

26
Q

what causes permanent dipole-dipole forces

A

large differnce in electronegativity between two elements in a covalent bond
* second strongest intermolecular force

27
Q

what bond does permanent dipole-dipole forces create

A

polar bonds where one of the elements usually N/O/F/Cl id d- as they are more electronegative and the less electronegative element is d+

28
Q

what are van der waal forces and how are the caused

A

caused by a random movement of electrons causing a temporary dipole in that molecule (with a d- and d+)
the partial charge causes electron density to be attracted/repelled in other nearby molecules which induces a dipole

29
Q

properties of vdw forces

A

weakest intermolecular forces
larger the surface area the stronger the intermolecular force
large molecules vdw’s forces are stronger between molecules

30
Q

order melting point from highest to lowest

A
  • diamond graphite as they are giant covalent lattices bonds to break
  • metal and non metal is a giant ionic lattice forces of attraction to overcome
  • metals are giant metallic lattices forces of attraction to overcome
    *2 or more non metals bonded together are simple molecular forces of attraction between molecules to overcome
  • hydrogen bonding
  • permanent dipole dipole
  • van der waals
31
Q

what does d- mean

A

negative charge
more electron density
more electronegative
