bonding 2 Flashcards
what is ionic bonding
electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions formed by electron transfer
what are electrostatic forces of attraction in an ionic lattice
ions in lattice are attracted to every other oppositely charged ion
physical properties of ionic compounds
- high melting and boiling point - due to large amount of energy to overcome strong electrostatic forces of attraction
- soluble in polar solvents - soluble substance e.g water, surrounds the ions and overcome electrostatic forces between the ions
(if charge of ions increase, solubility decreases as water cannot overcome the electrostatic forces of attraction)
3.do NOT conduct electricity when solid - ions locked in place by electrostatic forces of attraction and cant carry a charge
dissolved in water + conducts electricity as they’re free to move
what molecule has bond angle 180
linear
e.g beryllium chloride
Cl – Be – Cl
which molecule has bond angle 104.5
v - shaped or non linear
e.g H2O
which molecule has bond angle 120
trigonal planar
e.g BF3
which molecule has bond angle 107
triangular pyramid
e.g NH3
which molecule has bond angle 109.5
tetrahedral
e.g CH4 methane / NH3 ammonium
which molecule has bond angle 90 AND 120
trigonal bipyramid
e.g PCl5
which molecule has bond angle 90
octahedral
e.g SF6
for every lone pair present, what happens to the bond angle between covalent bonds
reduced by 2.5 degrees
how are dative bonds presented
indicated using an arrow from lone electron pair

H
why do lone pairs reduce bond angle by 2.5 degrees
repel more strongly than bonding pairs
define electronegativity
ability of an atom to attract a pair of electrons in a covalent bond
what happens to electronegativity ALONG a PERIOD
increases
what does the power of electronegativity depend on
- size of positive charge on nucleus
(more protons = increased positive charge ➜ increases attraction between nucleus and pair of electrons in covalent bond - atomic radius
(smaller atomic radius = closer bonding electrons to nucleus )
L➜R (periodic table) atomic radius decreases - shielding of nucleus of nucleus by electrons in inner shells
(more inner shells + lower electronegativity)
whats a dipole
a separation of charge
whats a pure covalent bond
has no dipole
what does delta δ show
shows that the charge is small
as the electron pair has shifted towards the MORE electronegative atom
where does the delta negative δ- go
goes on more electronegative element
