25
Electron affinity is....
the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion
26
Noble gase have _____ affinity for electrons
no
27
EA (ΔU) is the energy released when an electron attached to a gas-phase atom to form an anion Compared to EA, ΔU...
Is equal in magnetude, but opposite in sign EA= -ΔU
28
Anion\>Atom\>Cation Why?
Smaller Cation: Same amount of attractive forces from protons are exerted over less electrons, so the electrons are drawn closer to the nucleus Larger Anion: Increased electron-electron repulsion (more electrons than protons)
29
Isoelectronic
Same number of electrons, different number of protons
30
Metallic character
How readily an atom can lose an electron
31
Periodic trends from over and up
Atmoic radius: decreases Metallic character: decreases Electron affinity: increases IE: Increases Electronegativity: Increases
32
Electron attachment enthalpy
Electron Affinity = -ΔH
33
Covalent bond
sharing of valence electrons between atoms (non-metal to non-metal) also responsible for the atom-atom connections in polyatomic ions
34
Ionic bond
Electrostatic in nature, complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal (cation + anion)
35
Metallic bond
attractive forces holding pure metals together, cations are in a "sea" of electrons
36
Core electrons (are or are not?) involved in bonding or chemical reactions
Are not
37
Introduced the Lewis Dot Structure
Gilbert Newton Lewis
38
Octet rule
a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas (stable configuration)
39
Exceptions to the octet rule/don't obey octet rule
1. More than 4 bonds/8 electrons (expanded octet) 2. Odd number of electrons
40
When drawing a lewis dot structure which atom is the central atom?
The least electronegative
41
When drawing the lewis dot structure for an acid, where does the H+ go and why?
It is placed on the outside because acids want to donate the H+ ion, which allows for easy removal
42
Oxoacid
An acid containing oxygen
43
Exceptions to Lewis Dot Structures (NASL)
N = 8 for all elements except... H, He =2 Be = 4 B = 6
44
isostructural
same structure
45
Formal charge is calculated by...
FC = VE - (LP + 1/2 BP)
46
(+) FC... (-)FC
contributes more e- than it receives gets more e- than it receives
47
A formal charge of 0 means that specific lewis dot structure is...
more favored, more stable
48
Resonance structures are not seperate structures they are actually...
hybrid/composite structures (not alternating back and forth between the different structures)
49
Resonance \_\_\_\_\_the energy by distributing electron density over the entire molecule
stabilizes/lowers
50
coordinate covalent bond
when a bonding pair of e- originates on one of the bonded atoms (just short of fulfilling octet)
51
free radicals have _____ electrons
unpaired
52
Atoms from the \_\_\_\_\_period or __ block and beyond can have an expanded octet
3rd d
53
Bond angles aren't exact because...
the more lone pairs there are, the more pushed together the atoms are, which results in a slightly smaller bond angle
54
Strengths of repulsion
lone-lone \> lone-bond \> bond-bond
55
Molecular geometry vs electron-pair geometry
molecular is more general while electron-pair is more specific and takes the lone pairs into account
56
equatorial positions
lie in the imaginary sphere around the central atom (lone pairs prefer to occupy this space because there is more room)
57
axial position
north and south poles of the atom
58
Which EPG has no axial or equatorial postions?
Octahedral
59
Electronegativity
a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
60
Electronegativity is measured on the\_\_\_\_\_scale
Pauling
61

All homonuclear (composed only of the same element) diatomic molecules are...
non-polar
67
dipole moment | (automatically makes a molecule polar)
the magnitufe of charges multiplied by the distance (net dipole) μ = q (charges) \* d (distance) Units of coulomb meters or debyes
68
The greater the difference in electronegativities the more \_\_\_\_\_the bond
polar
69
