Bonding and Intermolecular Forces - Thermodynamics Flashcards
How to calculate formal charge
formal charge = valence electrons - sticks (bonds) - bonds (lone pairs)
where do you place positive charges
on the less electronegative atoms
where do you place negative charges
on the more electronegative atoms
2 groups
- sp
3 groups
- sp2
4 groups
- sp3
sp2 hybridization with no lone pairs
trigonal planar
sp2 hybridization with one lone pair
bent
sp3 hybridization with no lone pairs
tetrahedral
sp3 hybridization with one lone pair
trigonal pyramidal
sp3 hybridization with 2 lone pairs
bent
sp hybridization with no lone pairs
linear
the strength of a chemical bond is dependent upon
- more electrons shared = stronger bond
- shorter distance between atoms = stronger bond
stronger bonds
- higher bond dissociation energies
- more energy to break the bond
- always an endothermic process
types of bonds
- intramolecular (nuclear)
- intermolecular
intramolecular (nuclear bonds)
- covalent
- coordinate covalent
- metallic
covalent
- sharing of electrons
- polar
- nonpolar
polar covalent
- 2 atoms share valence electrons
- different electronegativity - unequal sharing
- dipole moment (partial charges)
nonpolar covalent
- 2 atoms share valence electrons
- similar electronegativity = equal sharing
coordinate covalent bond
- metal/lewis acid - acceptor
- ligand/lewis base - donor
- ligand brings both electrons for bond.
metallic bond
- sea of free floating electrons
- metals like to lose electrons
ionic bond
- one gives other takes electrons
- very different electronegativity
- atoms with formal charges
- cation and anion
- Na+ Cl-
Intermolecular forces
- Hydrogen bond
- Dipoles
- London Dispersion (Van Der Waals)
Dipoles
- ion-dipole
- dipole-dipole
- dipole-induced dipole
- easily cleaved
