Bonding and Lewis structure. Flashcards
How to tell what type of bonds they are
Compare there electronegativity. With subtraction and absolute values.
0.0 and 0.2 is what type of bond
Non-polar covelant
0.3 and 1.7 is what Kind of bond
Polar covelent
Between 1.8 and 4.0 is what kind of bond.
Ionic
Steps for drawring the Lewis’s structures
Step 1. Put the least electronegative element in the middle (never H), if multiple of others, then draw more of them
Step 2. Draw the valence dots around the atoms.
Step 2.5 connect the dots.
-this is a bond, a bond equals 2 electrons.
Step 2.75 CYA(Check your atoms)- octet rule.
Step 3. Stop writing and drawring
Octet deficient elements
Hydrogen and boron
Octet expansion element s
Phosphorus and everything to the right and below it
2 elements on the central
Linear
3 elements on central
Trigonal planar
4 elements on central
Tetrahedral
5 elements on central
Trigonal bipyramidal
6 elements on central
Octahedral
Three atoms and a lone pair on central
trigonal pyramidal
2 elements and lone pairs on central
Bent
