Chemical Bonding Flashcards
What is chemical bond?
Force which holds atoms ions etc together
What is Electromagnet bond?
Bond formed of electrostatic attraction btw +ve & -ve ions
What is Electrovalence?
No. of unit charges on the ion
Octet rule
Atoms combine either by transfer or sharing of valence e’s to have an octet
Lewis dot structure conditions
Bond is formed due to sharing
Each atom contributes at least 1 e
Atoms attain noble gas configuration due to sharing
What is single bond?
2 atoms share 1 e’ pair
Formal charge formula
F C = Valence e’s(total) - no of lone pairs(total) - ½[no of bonding e’s(total)]
Limitations of octet rule
- Not universal
- In some compounds, there are < 8 valence e’s
- In molecules with odd no of e’s, rule is not satisfied
- Some have > 8 valence e’s(expanded octet)
- Some noble gases also combine to form compounds
- Does not account on shape of molecules
- Doesn’t explain relative stability of molecules and their energy
Ionic/electrovalent bond depends on:
Formation of +ve/-ve ions
Arrangement of them
Formation includes ionization(removal of e’) & addition of e’
Ionization is endo or exo?
Endo
Electron affinity
-ve of energy change for e’ gain
Ionic bonds will form easily if
Ionization enthalpies are low and e’ gain enthalpy is high
Lattice enthalpy
Energy required to completely separate 1 mole of a solid ionic compound to gaseous ions
Bond length
Dist btw nuclei of 2 bonded atoms
Bond angle
Angle btw orbitals having bonding e’ pairs around the central atom
Bond enthalpy
Energy required to break 1 mole of bonds of a type btw 2 atoms on a gaseous state
Unit is KJmol^-1
Bond order
No of bonds btw 2 atoms in a molecule
Which 2 have identical bond orders?
Isoelectronic molecules and ions
