Q

Na and Cl bond so well because…

A

Na is a metal and its ion is Na+. Cl is a nonmetal and its ion is Cl-. Na has the electron chlorine wants, so they share it to create a noble gas configuration. This is a salt.

Q

How many lithium ions would be needed to neutralize the charge of an oxygen ion?

A

2 would be needed. A lithium ion has a charge of +1 and an oxygen ion has a charge of -2. You would need 2 lithium ions to create a charge of +2, which would neutralize the charge of -2.

17
Q

What are characteristics (both quantitative and qualitative) of ionic bonds?

A

High melting points, good conductivity in liquids (usually when dissolved in water), hard texture, and an electronegativity difference of 1.7 or greater.

18
Q

What creates conductivity?

A

Mobile electron

19
Q

What are the diatomics?

A

HOFBrINCl

Hydrogen, Oxygen, Flourine, Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, and Chlorine

20
Q

Diatomics form what kind of bond?

A

Nonpolar covalent

21
Q

What types of elements form covalent bonds? Ionic bonds?

A

Ionic bonds are formed by metals and nonmetals. Covalent bonds are formed by nonmetals.

22
Q

True or false:

In a covalent bond, attraction is less than repulsion.

A

False.

In a covalent bond, attraction between atoms is greater than repulsion.

23
Q

What is a common goal of ionic and covalent bonds?

A

A common goal is to form octets.

24
Q

What are the characteristics of covalent bonds?

A

Soft, poor conductors of electricity, low boiling and melting point, not very soluble, and tend to be flammable.

26
Q

Double and triple bonds are much __________ and __________ than single bonds.

A

28
Q

What are the prefixes for numbers 1-10?

A

Mono (only for oxygen), di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca

29
Q

What are the 5 formulas to remember?

A 
Water - H2O
Ammonia - NH3 (not ammonium)
Methane - CH4
Hydrogen peroxide - H2O2
Glucose - C6H12O6
30
Q

What is used when molecular compounds have multiple Lewis Dot Diagrams?

A

Calculate formal charge for each atom in the molecular compound. Look for the most stable.
Formal charge = valence electrons - (number of bonds + number of lone electrons)

31
Q

What is the difference between resonance and a hybrid Lewis Dot Diagram?

A

Resonance shows all different combinations concerning location of bonds and lone electrons. A hybrid doesn’t show lone electrons and shows a dotted line next to a bond.

32
Q

What are the exceptions to the octet rule?

A

Hydrogen, odd number of valence electrons, atoms with fewer than 8 valence electrons in a full valence shell, and expanded octets (atoms with more than 8 valence electrons, occurs only in elements in a Period 3 and above. An example is sulphur hexafluoride)

33
Q

What is the definition of a covalent bond?

A

A covalent bond is a bond between atoms that is formed by the sharing of electrons rather than the transfer of electrons.

34
Q

What are the electronegativity difference ranges for bonds?

A

Ionic has a range of 1.7-4.0
Polar has a range of 0.4-1.7
Nonpolar has a range of 0.0-0.4

35
Q

What is the difference between polar and nonpolar bonds?

A

Nonpolar covalent bonds have an equal attraction for shared electrons (example: diatomics) whereas polar covalent bonds have an unequal attraction for shared electrons (example: hydrogen chloride)

36
Q

True or false: In nonpolar molecules, dipoles pull electrons slightly towards one atom and slightly away from another, creating a slightly negative and slightly positive side.

A

False. This occurs in polar molecules.

37
Q

What kind of molecule is carbon tetrachloride? What kinds of bonds does it have?

A 
Polar bonds
Nonpolar molecule (look at symmetry)
38
Q

True or false: Any diatomic with a polar bond is a polar molecule. Example: Carbon monoxide

A

True

39
Q

Is it true to conclude that diatomic molecules that have nonpolar bonds are nonpolar molecules?
Examples: chlorine, oxygen

A

True

40
Q

Three or more atoms are polar unless:

A

The central atom has no lone pairs and is surrounded by atoms of one element.
