Chapter 7&8 Flashcards
What is a chemical bond?
Most bonds are formed because positive atoms are attracted to negative atoms.
What is a Lewis structure?
Representation of an atom or ion where the symbol represents the nucleus and all but the valence hell electrons.
Metals are usually____. Nonmetals are usually_____. An exception?
Positive
Negative
Hydrogen
What are the three types of chemical bonding?
Ionic
Metallic
Covalent
What is ionic bonding?
Anions(negative ions) and cations(positive ions) are held together because opposite charges attract.
1 metal/metalloid and 1 nonmetal
Bonds are formed through the___ of electrons.
Metals____ electrons.
Nonmetals____electrons.
Transfer
Donate
Accept
Metallic bonds?
Electrons are free to move through the solid.
Metals conduct electricity.
2 metals/metalloids
Covalent bonds?
Share valence electrons with each other. Both atoms get to count electrons.
2 nonmetals
How does h2 form?
Positive nuclei repel each other. Electrons are attracted to positive nuclei atoms share the electrons.
What is a structural formula?
Using a line to indicate bonds.
Properties of inorganic and organic compounds
N
What is the octet rule?
Most atoms try to get right total electrons when bonding.
What are the exceptions to the octet rule?
H and He want two electrons
Boron group only wants six
Big Five: S, P, Cl, Br, and I(only when in the middle if the molecule)
Noble gases can exceed octet.
Multiple bonds?
Share more than one pair of valence electrons.
Double bond- 2 pairs 4 electrons
Triple bond- 3 pairs 6 electrons
Special rules for Lewis structure?
Positive- remove paired electron from center atom
Negative- extra electron from a negative charge pair with an outer atom vacancy(most times)
Special rule for nitrogen Lewis structure?
As last resort move electron from center atom to outer atom vacancy.
Final structure must have no completely unpaired electrons n
Beyond octet rule?
Rules are same except center atom all electrons can bond.
Lewis structure if acid?
Draw polyatomic ion first and attach hydrogen as needed.
VSEPR
Number of atoms and line pair electrons predict molecular arrangement.
Number of atoms predict molecular geometry/shape.
VSEPR Arrangement/Shape
AXbEy A-central atom X other atoms E non bonding electron groups B and y indicate how many of each kind are present
Formal charge equation
of outer electrons-(1/2) #bonded electrons- # of line electrons
Resonance
Only for covalent bonds.
No complete rotations of atom are allowed.
Move e in same direction.
Charge is conserved.
True structure is mix of all resonance structures. Hybrids
