Q

Sigma

A

symmetrical molecular orbital

19
Q

Pi

Q

VSEPR theory

A

the repulsion between electron pairs causes molecular shapes to adjust so that the valence electron pairs stay as far apart as possible

Orbital hybridization

A

provides information about both molecular bonding and molecular shape

22
Q

What happens in hybridization?

A

several atomic orbitals mix to form the total # of equivalent hybrid orbitals

Q

Polar covalent bond

A

when the atoms pull unequally in the bond

25

A

has a slightly positive charge

27
Q

Polar molecules

one end is slightly negative, the other end is slightly positive

28
Q

Dipole

A

a molecule that has two poles

29
Q

When polar molecules are placed between oppositely charged plates, what happens?

A

they tend to become oriented to the respective positive and negatively charged plates

a hydrogen covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom is weakly bonded to an unshared electron pair of another electronegative atom

35
Q

Network solids

A

solids in which all of the atoms are covalently bonded to each other
