Chapter 8- Chemical Bonding Flashcards
Ionic
Metals and nonmetals
Unfair sharing of electrons
Covalent
Nonmetals and nonmetals
Fair sharing of electrons
Can be polar or nonpolar
Metallic
E cloud bonds atoms
Octet rule
Atoms tend to lose or gain until they are surrounded by 8 electrons except H which needs two
Polar bonds
Covalent bonds in which electrons are shared unequally die to the differences in the elements electronegativities
Polar molecule (dipole)
A molecule containing a polar bond which results in an uneven distribution of electrons
Dipole moment
Measurement of the magnitude of dipole
Reasonable structures
Molecules with more than one plausible structure
Lattice energy (Eel)
Energy required to completely separate 1 mol of an ionic crystal into its gaseous ions
All ionic compounds
Are solid and exist as a crystal lattice
Ionic bonds are ______ than covalent bonds
Stronger
Formula for lattice energy
Eel = (constant times charges of ions) / distance between nuclei
Lattice energy
All about charge and attraction
Formal charge
The charge that an atom in a molecule would have if all of its bonding electron pairs were shared equally between atoms
(Allows us to predict correct form of a molecule)
Formal charge adds up to
The charge of the ion
Halogens only form
Single bonds
Anything form the throw period down can
Hybridize
Heat of reaction
Bonds broken-bonds formed
VSEPR
Valance shell electron pair repulsion theory
Electron pairs on a central atom
Bonded or unbounded will repel, thus creating the molecules shape
