ch5 Flashcards
electronegativity
ability of atoms to attract electrons
electronegativity trends
increases left to right
meaning of electron poor
electron doesn’t want to go there
meaning of electron rich
electron wants to go there
what is dipole moment of no polar bond
0-.4
how are electron bonds shared in polar covalent bond
unequally
what binds do carbon and hydrogen form
nonpolar
what happens as dipole moment gets larger
bond becomes more polar
what vectors does dipole moment have
intensity and direction
percent ionic character
measured dipolemoment x100 /dipole moment of electrons were completely transferred
ionic bond has what percent ionic character
50 or greater
what is bond energy
energy required to break a bond
what two atoms can never be central
H and Florine
trend for central atoms
often least electronegative
what is a resonance
when it takes two lewis structures to accurately represent how an atomic diagram is
