Chemistry Chp 11&12 Review Flashcards
Exceptions to the Octet Rule
H (wants 2e), Be (wants 4e) and B (wants 6e)
The center atom in a LDS is usually
Carbon
Resonance
Atoms stay put double bonds move (to go from one to the other use double sided arrow)
CH is
nonpolar always
Polarity
determined by electronegativity differences
EN difference of 0–>0.4
Non-polar covalent (equal sharing)
EN difference of 0.5–>1.7
Polar covalent (unequal sharing)
EN difference over 1.7
Ionic (taking)
Bond polarity arrows
–+—> towards more electronegative side
Molecular polarity
Defined by the sum of the bond polarities or symmetry (symmetrical molecules are non-polar)
Water is…
Always polar
IMF definition
the forces between molecules (hold molecules together) They are represented by dashed lines
they have a weak intermolecular attraction
IMFs and Boiling/Melting point
The stronger the IMF bond the HIGHER the Bp/Mp bc you need more energy to break the molecules apart
Types of IMFs
Ion-Dipole (strongest)
Hydrogen Bonding
Dipole-Dipole (polar)
Induced dipole-induced-dipole (non-polar) (weakest)
Ion-Dipole
The interaction between an ion and a polar molecule (the ion is fully charged and the polar molecule is partially charged)
Hydrogen Bonding
FON - When any of these molecules directly connect to an H element
(hydrogen is much less electronegative than these elements, which makes them extremely polar)
Dipole-Dipole
when polar molecules interact the positive ends attract to the negative ends (if polar but not F, O, or N)
Induced Dipole-Induced Dipole
(Temporary partial charge) non-polar molecules stick together because their election clouds become slightly distorted when next to each other
How to differentiate between types of IMFs
Ion-dipole - Magnitude of charge on the ion
H-bonds - Number of sites capable of hydrogen bonding (CH2OH4 has 1 site possible)
Induced-dipole - Molar mass
Dipole-dipole - N/A
Melting point/Boiling Point
Stronger IMFs = higher Mp/Bp
Volatility
Ease of evaporation - stronger IMFs lower volatility
Surface tension
Stronger IMFs = higher surface tension
Viscosity
Resistance to flow (density) stronger IMFs = higher viscosity
Electron Geometries
Linear (180)
Trigonal planar (120)
Tetrahedral (109.5)
