Chem Flashcards
Bond Polarity
-Determined by electronegativity
-measure of how electrons are shared between atoms in a bond
Non polar covalent
-Small
-0-0.4
-Shared equally, no charges
Polar covalent
-intermediate
-0.4-2.0
-Shared unequally, partial charges
Ionic
-Large
-2+
-Complete transfer, full charges
Columbs law
-Like charges repel
-Bigger distance decreases attraction
-Bigger the charge, bigger the force (attraction/repulsion)
-Charges more important
Ic vs Ous
-Higher charged ions
vs
-Lower charged ions
Periodic table metal trend
Left: Metals
Transition line: Metalloids
Right: Non-Metals
Periodic table ionization, affinity, effective nuclear charge trend
-increases moving right, decreases moving down
Alaklimetals (first row) reactivity periodic table trend
Increases as you move down
Lattice Energy
-Higher = higher melting point
-Higher = more negative, stronger
-Smaller ions can get closer together (less protons), stronger
-Negative = good
Ionic vs Covalent bond
- Complete transfer (electrostatic attraction)
vs - Sharing (molecules)
Bond formation graph
- As 2 atoms get closer together PE goes down
-Optimal bond distance, PE at min, stable - Repulsion goes up when atoms overlap too much, E required to break, not stable
Resonance
Moving electrons around, not atoms
Electronegativity trend
-Increases from bottom left up to top right
-Top right (F) most electronegative
-Noble gases are not
Electronegativity defintion
Ability of an atom to attract and hold onto shared electrons in a bond
Electronic vs molecular geometries
-Arrangement of all electron pairs, bonding and non bonding (regions of electron density) 5 geometries
vs
-Arrangement of atoms in a molecule
Bond angle distortions
-Lone pairs: decrease
-Double bonds: Increases touching double bond, decreases not touching double bond (takes more space)
double bond angles
330 alone- 116 not touching, 122 touching
330 with 2 centrals- 117 not touching
Line structure rules
- Apply octet
- Apply formal charges
- Geometries
-N get lone pairs, C get H
Oxoacids
H bonded to O
How to find bond length
- add number of bonds in each domain in ONE structure, then divide by the NUMBER of resonance structures
