Electrons and bonding Flashcards
Define electronegativity
Ability to attract bonded electron in covalent bond
Greater difference=
ionic
Whats the electron pair repulsion theory?
Electrons repel one another as far as possible
Shape depends on electron pairs
L-L>L-D>D-D
Shapes
Trig planar-180 Tetra - 109.5 Trig bipyradmidal - 90 and 120 Octa - 120 Pyramidal - 107 Angular - 104.5
Define polar bond
Covalent bond between two atoms with different electronegativites in which bonded electron pair is drawn closer to more electronegative atom
Which shapes cancel dipoles out?
Trig planar, tetra, tri by, octa
Define permanent d-d
Between polar molecules
Define induced d-d
Weakest and in all
How is induced d-d formed?
Movement of electron= instanstaneous dipole which induces another dipole in neighbouring atom
attraction between temporary induced dipoles = dipole -dipole
Define H bond
Bonded to lone pair on N, F and O
highest
Water
Ice is less dense due to open lattic
high MP
