Chapter 3- Bonding And Chemical Interactions Flashcards
Elements with expanded octet
Any element in period 3 and greater
Phosphorus (10)
Sulfur (12)
Chlorine (14)
Elements with odd numbers of electrons
Any molecule with an odd number of valence electrons cannot distribute those electrons to give eight to each atom
Ex: NO (nitric oxide) has 11 valence electrons
Elements with incomplete octet
Hydrogen (2) Helium (2) Lithium (2) Beryllium (4) Boron (6)
Ionic bonds
Usually formed between metal and nonmetal because it requires a large difference in electronegativity
Very strong so high melting and boiling points
Dipole moment
P = qd
P - dipole moment
q - magnitude of charge
d - displacement vector separating 2 partial charges
Lewis acid and Lewis base
Acid - accepts lone pair of electrons
Base - donates a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond
Coordinate covalent bonds
Both of shared electrons come from same atom
Formal charge equation
FC = V - Nnonbonding - (1/2)Nbonding
V - valence electrons in neutral atom
VSEPR theory
Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.
Predicts molecular geometry of covalent lay bonded molecules.
3-D arrangement is determined by repulsion a between bonding and nonbonding electron pairs in valence shell.
