Chapter 9 Flashcards
1
Q
Draw Lewis Structure
A
- Skeletal Structures
- Count Total Valence Electrons
- Attach electrons with single bonds
- Complete octets of outer atoms
- if there are extra electrons, place them on central atom
If there is a deficit, make double & triple bonds
2
Q
Calculate Formal Charge
A
Formal Charge = Starting e - nonbinding e - 1/2 bonding
3
Q
Lattice Energy
A
Lattice NRG = NRG released when crystal forms from ions
Depends on size of charges
(Large atom = Large Dist. btwn nucleus)
Depends on charge of atoms
(Larger Charge = Strong Attraction)
Most Important
4
Q
Electronegativity
A
Increases going left to right.
Increases Going Up
5
Q
Polar, Non-Polar, Ionic Bonds
A
Polar: Lewis structure is asymmetrical and there is moderate electronegativity difference
Non-Polar: Lewis Structure is symmetrical and there a small difference in electronegativity
Ionic: Bond between metal and nonmetal with a high amount of electronegativity.
