Chemical Bonding Chapter 4 Flashcards
What does VSEPR stand for
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
A region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron
Orbital
What is the shape of the p orbital?
Dumbbell
What is the shape of the s orbital?
Sphere
What is the shape of the d orbital
“Four-leaf Clover”
What is the most electronegative element
Fluorine
What is the least electronegative element
Francium
-They are three-dimensional
-They can contain a maximum of two electrons
-Their shapes are predicted by Schrodinger’s equation
Orbital
Substances that are non-conductors and soluble in water
(if not too large)
Molecular Crystals
A substance is a solid that is ductile and malleable and conducts electricity and heat in the solid state.
Metal
Dissolves in water and conducts electricity when dissolved or in the molten state
Ionic Substance
According to VSEPR theory, molecules adjust their shapes to keep what as far apart as possible?
Pairs of valence electron orbitals
A partial positive charge at one end of a molecule combined with a partial negative charge at the other end of a molecule
Dipole
What causes high surface tension in water?
Hydrogen Bonding
Must have this in order to form double and triple bonds
p-orbital
