ch 1 Flashcards
a sigma bond is
the overlap of 2 sp2 hybrid orbitals
A pie bond is
the overlap of 2 sp orbitals
a resonance structure
a molecule with mutable structures caused by moving electrons (the placement of the atoms stays the same but the e- move)
resonance structure rules
- atoms and single bonds stay the same
- Multiple bonds and lone pairs can change
- no braking octet rule
condensed notation rules:
- All atoms are written in but the bond lines are omitted
- Atoms are usually written next to the atoms they are bonded to
- () are used around similar groups bonded to the same atom
- Lone pairs are omitted
condensed notation rule exceptions (CHO)
notates a C that is double bonded to an O and a H (the O and H are not bonded)
skeletal structure rules
- Assume a Carbon atom is at the junction or end of a line
- each carbon must have enough Hydrogen atoms to give it 4 bonds
- Draw in anything different
neutral oxygen needs?
2 lone pairs and 2 bonds
Neutral Nitrogen needs?
1 lone pair and 3 bonds
Carbon is neutral with?
4 bonds
electron ownership: C (# valence e-)
4
electron ownership: C (+1 charge)
3 bonds around C
electron ownership: C (no charge)
4 bonds around C
electron ownership: C (-1 charge)
3 bonds and 2 lone e- around C
electron ownership: N (# valence e-)
