Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding I: The Lewis Model Flashcards
what does the lewis model emphasize?
valence electrons
Using Lewis model, we can draw chemical structures, called what?
Lewis structures
or
Electron dot structure
what does the Lewis structure allow us to predict?
molecular stability
shape
size
polarity
Chemical bonds form because they what between the charged particles that compose atoms.
lower the potential energy
when does a chemical bond form?
when the potential energy of the bonded atoms is less than the potential energy of the separate atoms.
When a metal atom loses electrons it becomes a WHAT?
Cation
When a nonmetal atom gains electrons it becomes an what
anion
what have high electron affinities?
nonmetals
what makes it advantageous to add electrons to atoms
high electron affinities
The oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other, resulting in an
ionic bond
have a high ionization energy
nonmetals
when is the potential energy lowest?
when the electrons are between the nuclei
The simplest theory of metallic bonding
metal atoms releasing their valence electrons to be shared as a pool by all
where does metallic bonding result from?
attraction of the cations for the delocalized electrons.
involves the transfer or sharing of valence electrons between two or more atoms.
chemical bonding
are most important in bonding.
valence electrons
indicates the number of valence electrons for main group elements.
column number on the periodic table
how many electrons do transition elements have?
2
how to represent valence electrons of main group electrons in the lewis structure?
dots surrounding the symbol for the element.
We use the what to represent nucleus and inner electrons.
symbol of the element
When atoms bond, they tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to result in eight valence electrons
Octet Rule `
exceptions to octet rule
H
Li
Be
B
having two valence electrons
a duet
is the arrangement of cations and anions in a crystalline structure
crystal lattice
long-range repeating order of the ions).
crystalline
what is a crystal lattice held by?
the electrostatic
attraction of the cations for all the surrounding anions.
The extra stability that accompanies the formation of the
crystal lattice is measured as the what?
lattice energy
the energy released when the
solid crystal forms from separate ions in the gas state.
lattice energy
what does lattice energy depend directly on
size of charges
what does lattice energy depend indirectly on
distance between ions
is a hypothetical series of reactions that represents the formation of an ionic compound from its constituent elements.
Born-Haber Cycle
The force of attraction between oppositely charged particles is directly proportional to what?
the product of the charges
Larger charge the what the attraction
stronger
the strong the attraction the what the Lattice energy
more
all ionic compounds are what at room temp?
SOLID
what kind of attraction is nondirectional
electrostatic attraction
predicts ionic compounds should have high melting points and boiling points because breaking down the crystal should require a lot of energy.
