Electrons, Bonding and Structure full module Flashcards
What are electron shells made up of?
Sub-shells and orbitals
What do electrons move around the nucleus in?
shells (energy levels)
What is the name of the number given to shells?
Principle quantum number
What are shells divided into and what are there 4 names
Subshells, S P D and F
What does each subshell have a different number of?
orbitals
How many electrons can fit into 1 orbital?
2
How many orbitals does the S and P subshell have speperatly?
S:1 P:3
What shape is the S orbitall?
spherical
What shape is the P orbital?
Dumbell
what is the electron configuration of potassium (K) (19e’s)
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
How are ions formed?
When electrons are transferred from one atom to another so as to have a full outer shell, they can be positively or negatively charged.
What holds ions together?
electrostatic attraction
What is an ionic bond?
an electrostatic attraction between two oppositly charged ions
What diagram shows ionic bonding?
dot and cross diagrams
Do ionically bonded substances conduct electrisity? why
Yes when molten or dissolved as the ions can move and carry a charge
What type of mp and bp do ionic comounds have? why
High as the giant ionic lattices are held together by strong electrosatic forces that take lots of energy to overcome.
Why do ionic compunds dissolve?
As water is polar so part of the molecule is attracted the the water and part of it pull it away causing it to dissolve
What are molecules nd what holds them together?
they are two or more atoms covalently bonded together
what is covalent bonding?
The strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of bonded atoms
What is dative covalent bonding?
When both electrons in a bond come from one atom
What repels more bonded pairs or lone pairs?
lone pairs
In molecule shapes where is the greatest angle
between lone pairs
If a molecule has 2 bonded pairs and 0 lone pair what is the bond angle and shape of the molecule?
linear 180
if a molecule has 3 bonded pairs and 0 lone pair what is the bond angle and shape of the molecule?
trigonal planar 120
