Chapter 5: 5.1 Functional Groups Flashcards
Line Diagrams:
What does each solid line represent?
Covalent bond
Line Diagrams:
If no atom is drawn at intersection of two lines…
Assumed that it is an carbon atom
Line Diagrams:
If no atom is drawn at end of line…
Assumed to be a carbon atom
Line Diagrams:
Are hydrogen atoms shown in the diagram?
No they are not; it is assumed that there are enough hydrogen atoms around each carbon as necessary to make it tetravalent (full octet)
True or False:
In a line diagram, all non-carbon atoms must be shown along with any hydrogens attached to them
True
State atomic orbitals used, hybrid orbitals formed, and electronic arrangement:
2 regions of electron density
One s, one p
Two sp
Linear (180 degrees)
State atomic orbitals used, hybrid orbitals formed, and electronic arrangement:
3 regions of electron density
One s, two p
Three sp2
Trigonal planar (120 degrees)
State atomic orbitals used, hybrid orbitals formed, and electronic arrangement:
4 regions of electron density
One s, 3 p
Four sp3
Tetrahedral (109.5 degrees)
According to VSPER theory:
Lone pairs of electrons exert a greater repulsive force than pairs in bonds, causes reduction in bond angles
Double and triple bonds count as a single region of electron density
Nonbonding (lone) pairs are ignored when determining the shapes of molecules
