Chapter 8 part 2 Flashcards
single bond
one pair of electrons is shared
double bond
2 pairs of electrons are shared
triple bond
3 pairs of electrons are shared
what is the trend with bond length and number of shared electrons
bond length shortens as number of shared electrons increase
energy required to break a bond
endothermic
energy released when bond formed
exothermic
lone pair
pairs of electrons localized on an atom
- only on an atom
bonding pairs
pairs of electrons found in space between atoms
- shared
what is the difference between lone and bonding pairs
bonding pair is shared between two atoms while lone pair belongs only to the atom which it is assigned
when does a Lewis dot structure not apply
ionically bonded compounds
how are electrons shared
between covalent and polar covalent bonds so each atom has a noble gas like e- configuration
what rule applies to hydrogen
duet
what elements does the octet rule apply to
C, N, O, F, and sometimes other non-metallic elements in the p block
which Lewis dot structure will be correct when there are multiple versions
one with minimized formal charges
duet rule
shares 2 electrons
