Bonding And Structure Ch3 Flashcards
Definition
Ionic Bonding
The elctrostatic force of attraction between oppositily charged ions
Factors
Strength of ionic bonding
- Ionic charge
- size of ions
greater charge = stronger bond
smaller size = bond-closer together
Trends
Ionic radii
Between cations and anions
Number of protons:elections
State of attraction or repulsion
Trend
Ionic Raddi
Group 1 & 7
Down group ions have more elections - ion gets larger
Trend
Ionic Radii
Period 2 & 3
radius decrease as proton number increase
no shielding
positive charge increase- elctrons attracted strongly- pulled closer to nuclues
Definition
Isoelectronic
two or more elements and/or ions have the same electronic configuration.
Definition
Polarisation
The distortion of the electron density of a negative ion
Definiftion
Polarising power
The ability of a cation to distort the electron density of a neighouring anion
Trends
Polarisation
List
- high charge and small size of the cation.
- large size of the anion
Properties
Ionic Compounds
Physical
Very high melting point
Very brittle
Don’t electricity unless molten
Is soluble in water
Definition
Colvalent Bonding
The electrostatic force of attration between a shared paired of electrons and the nuclei of the atom
Definition
Dative Covalent Bonding
A covalent bond which both electrons comes from the same atom/ spieces
Description
Sigma Bond
End-on-end overlap of s or p orbitals
Description
Pi bond
sideways overlap of two p-orbitals, Creates a cloud of electrons.
Weaker bond
Definition
Octet Rule
Outer shell of each atom must have the same number of electrons a the outer shell of a noble gas
Definition
Electronegativity
The ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons in a colvalent bond
