Q

Note

A

The VSEPR model can predict the structure of nearly any molecule
or polyatomic ion in which the central atom is a nonmetal, as well as the structures of many molecules
and polyatomic ions with a central metal atom. The premise of the VSEPR theory is that electron pairs located in bonds and lone pairs repel each other and will therefore adopt the geometry that places electron pairs as far apart from each other as possible. This theory is very simplistic and does not account for the subtleties of orbital interactions that influence molecular shapes; however, the simple VSEPR counting procedure accurately predicts the three-dimensional structures of a large number of compounds, which cannot be predicted using the Lewis electron-pair approach.

Q

Note

A

Each multiple bond in a molecule also constitutes a single electron domain. Each nonbonding pair, single bond, or multiple bond produces a single electron domain around the central atom in a molecule.

26
Q

It is the Attraction of Hydrogen Atom to a highly electronegative atoms (F, O, N).

A

Hydrogen Bond

27
Q
  • is an intermolecular force (IMF) that forms a special type of _________ _____ attraction when a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom exists in the vicinity of another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons.
A

Dipole dipole

28
Q

intermolecular force of attraction between a charge ion (cation or anion) and a molecule. It is found commonly in the solution where ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents.

A

Ion-dipole

29
Q

contains unequal number of protons and electrons.

A

Ion

30
Q

contains 2 charges, where one side is positive (+), and the other is negative (-)

A

Dipole

31
Q

When an ion is placed next to a non-polar molecule, the ion forced it to be dipole.
The dipole is TEMPORARY

A

Ion-induced dipole

32
Q

force that is a weak attraction that results when an ion interacts with a nonpolar molecule The ion disturbs the arrangement of electrons in the nonpolar molecule, causing it to form a temporary dipole.

A

Ion-induced dipole

33
Q

-Force of attraction between a non-polar, and non-polar molecule. - Weakest force
- aka: Induced-Dipole – Induced-Dipole Interaction

A

London Dispersion

34
Q

is defined as the attraction between a polar molecule and a nonpolar molecule, which governs many self-assembling processes in materials.
- always attractive; does not vanish with higher temperature
- permanent (dipole – induced dipole)
- aka: Dipole-induced dipole interaction

A

DEBYE

35
Q

-attrraction between a polar and a polar molecule.
- are the electrostatic forces between two permanent polar molecules. Generally, the positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of another molecule. As a result, the two molecules come closer, adding to the stability of the substance. This interaction is different from a regular ionic or covalent bond since there is no transfer or sharing of electrons.
- aka: Dipole-Dipole Interaction

A

Keesom

36
Q
