A

False.

56
Q

How are crystal lattices arranged?

A

In repeating 3D shapes.

57
Q

Are crystal lattices typically soluble in water, why?

A

low

73
Q

Non-polar:

A

Equal sharing due to equal electronegativity.

74
Q

Polar:

A

Unequal sharing when electronegativities are different.

75
Q

Do molecular compounds form crystal lattices?

A

No, instead they exist by themselves in unique shapes called discrete molecules.

76
Q

Discrete molecules have (high/low) melting/boiling points.

A

low

77
Q

How are metallic bonds formed?

A

By having low electronegativity atoms collide leading to a sharing of electrons with no chemical reaction. They are caused by the random attraction of a positive nucleus to the free-flowing valence electrons nearby. This is called a sea of electrons.

78
Q

If a molecule has 4 bonding pairs, what shape is it most likely to be?

A

A tetrahedron.

79
Q

If a molecule has 3 bonding pairs and one lone pair, what shape is it most likely to be?

A

A trigonal pyramid.

80
Q

If a molecule has 2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs, what shape is it most likely to be?

A

Bent or angular.

81
Q

If a molecule has 3 bonding pairs, what shape is it most likely to be?

A

Trigonal planar.

82
Q

If a molecule has 2 bonding pairs and one lone pair, what shape is it most likely to be?

A

Bent or angular.

83
Q

If a molecule has 2 bonding pairs, what shape is it most likely to be?

A

Linear.

84
Q

What is the difference between metals and non-metals?

A

Nonmetal properties are not metallic. Metals usually are good conductors of electricity and heat, and can also be easily moulded. Nonmetals are poor heat and electricity conductors, except mercury other metals are solid at room temperature.

85
Q

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

A

In ionic bonding, atoms transfer electrons to each other. Ionic bonds require at least one electron donor and one electron acceptor. In contrast, atoms with the same electronegativity share electrons in covalent bonds, because neither atom preferentially attracts or repels the shared electrons.

86
Q

How do atoms become ions?

A

Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions

87
Q

Why do bonds form?

A

Atoms are trying to reach the most stable (lowest-energy) state that they can.

88
Q

What is the difference between ionic and molecular compounds?

A

Molecular compounds are pure substances formed when atoms are linked together by sharing of electrons while ionic compounds are formed due to the transfer of electrons.

89
Q

Dipole:

A

A bond/molecule that has two poles.

90
Q

If a molecule is asymmetric it is…

A

polar.

91
Q

If a molecule is symmetric and is bonded to only one other type of atom it is…

A

nonpolar.

92
Q

If a molecule is symmetric and is bonded to many other types of atoms it is…

A

polar

93
Q

London Forces:

A

Caused by the motion of electrons and their resulting attraction to the nuclei of nearby molecules. Weak. The increased number of dispersion forces results in different physical properties like boiling point.

94
Q

What molecules have London forces?

A

All of them.

95
Q

What molecule will have the most London forces?

A

The larger the compound, the more protons and electrons are available for LFD’s.

96
Q

Dipole-Dipole Forces:

A

Similar to ionic bonds but much weaker. Significantly stronger than dispersion forces. Occur when oppositely charged regions of dipolar molecules attract.

97
Q

What compounds have dipole-dipole forces?

A

Polar molecules that are electrostatically attracted to one another.

98
Q

What molecules have the strongest dipole-dipole forces?

A

The greater the difference in electronegativities the stronger the dipole.

99
Q

Hydrogen bonding:

A

Attractive forces where hydrogen is covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom which is also bonded to an unshared electron pair of an electronegative atom in a nearby molecule. Very strong, has a large effect on physical properties.

100
Q

What compounds have hydrogen bonding?

A

Compounds that usually have F-H, O-H and N-H bonds.

101
Q

What is VSEPR theory?

A

Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory states that electrons want to be as far from each other as possible.
