Chem Term Review Flashcards
the chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons
metallic bonding
metals are composed of atom cores surround by free moving valence electrons. The electrons can more from one metal atom to another
electron sea model
created by slightly positive and negative charges (opposite charges) that are separated by a short distance.
dipole
the intermolecular force in which a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom is attracted to an unshared pair of electrons of an electronegative atom in a nearby molecule (i.e., H2O)
hydrogen bonding
the intermolecular attractions resulting from the constant motion of electrons and the creation of instantaneous dipoles called this.
London dispersion forces
electrons that move freely about the electron sea (they do not have a “home” atom)
delocalized electrons
states that repulsion between the sets of valence-level electrons surrounding an atom cause these sets to be oriented as far apart as possible (it leads to molecular geometrical shapes)
VSEPR Theory
orbitals of equal energy produced by the combination of two or more orbitals on the same atom (carbon bonding)
hybrid orbitals
a pair of electrons of an atom that DO NOT bond
lone pair electrons
a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for shared electrons (ex. HCl)
polar-covalent bond
chemical bond that results from the electrical attraction between cations and anions (the giving up of electrons)
ionic bond
a covalent bond in which the bonding of electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of an electrical charge (ex. H2)
nonpolar-covalent bond
a covalent bond in which one pair of electrons is shared between two atoms
single bond
a covalent bond in which two pairs of electrons is shared between two atoms
double bond
a covalent bond in which three pairs of electrons is shared between two atoms
triple bond
the ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into thin sheats
malleability
forces between molecules
intermolecular forces
the ability of a substance to be drawn, pulled, or extruded through a small opening to produce
ductility
the simplest collection of atoms from an ionic compound’s formula can be established
formula unit
the 3-dimensional arrangement of + and - ions (like NaCl) in a complex shape
crystal lattice
Bond angle and name for NH3
107.5 trigonal pyramidal
Bond angle and name for H2O
104.5 bent or angular
Bond angle and name for CH4
109.5 tetrahedral (electrons farthest away from e/o here)
