Chapter 6 Flashcards
What is the electron-pair repulsion theory?
1) electron pairs repel so they are arranges as far as possible
2) arrangement of electron pairs minimises repulsion and holds bonded atoms in shape
Is a lone pair of electrons closer or further to the central atom, than a bonded pair?
closer
Does a lone pair of electrons repel more strongly or less strongly than a bonded pair?
more
What is the relative repulsions between lone pairs and bonding pairs?
bonded-pair/bonded-pair < bonded-pair/bonded-pair < lone-pair/lone-pair
What is the name of the shape with 4 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs?
tetrahedral
What is the name of the shape with 3 bonded pairs and 1 lone pair?
pyramidal
What is the name of the shape with 2 bonded pairs and 2 lone pairs?
non-linear
What is the bond angle of 4 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs?
109.5
What is the bond angle of 3 bonded pairs and 1 lone pairs?

180
What is the name of the shape with 6 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs?
octahedral
What is the bond angle with 6 bonded pairs and 0 lone pairs?

Why does electronegativity change when the bonded atoms are different elements?
1) nuclear charges are different
2) atoms may be different sizes
3) shared pair of electrons may be close to one nucleus
What is electronegativity?
the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Does nuclear charge increase or decrease across the periodic table?
increase
Does atomic radius increase or decrease across the periodic table?
increase
Does electronegativity increase or decrease across the periodic table?
increase
Does electronegativity increase or decrease up the periodic table?
increase
If the electronegativity difference is 0, what is the bond type?
covalent
If the electronegativity difference is 0-1.8, what is the bond type?
polar covalent
