Chemical bonds concept video 9 Flashcards
species will generally seek to
lower the overall energy if the system
Bond length
Distance between two nuclei at the minimum energy
Cancel energy of repulsion and attraction
what is a stable species?
Considered stable is all the components are held tgt strongly enough that they dont fall apart
Ionic bonding
rearrangement of electrons to form cations and anions that are columbically attracted to eachother
Covalent bonding
atoms share electrons in a way that is beneficial for both partners
Ionic bonding requirements (2)+summary of the energy effectiveness
rearrangement of electrons to form ions from atoms (requires energy)
Columbic attraction of the 2 ions (get energy back)
the benefit of coulumbic attraction must be greater than the penalty of needing to form the ions.
if change in electronegativity is ______ then the bonding is ionic
larger then 2
covalent bonding occurs when (2)
ionic bonding is not favourable, electrons can be shared between partners
because the electronegativity is 0, we share the electrons
The stabilization of covalent bonding comes from (2)
both the stronger attraction of the electron because there are two nuclei it can go between
decreased repulsion that comes from the electron density that comes from the 2 nuclei protecting one from another
bond dipole (2)
asymmetry in electron distribution
more on one side=more neg
the strength of a bond is the
energy required to completely break the connection between atoms
hemolytic bond cleavage
shared pair of electron in a covalent/polar covalent bond gets split in half
common in covalent bond
heterolytic bond cleavage (2)
electron goes to one element fully
common in ionic interaction
