Exam 2 Flashcards
Ionic Compounds
Metal and non-metal bond
Covalent Compound
Non-metal and a non-metal bond (will use prefixes when naming compounds)
Valence Shell Electron Placement Repulsion Theory (VSEPR)
The idea that electron clouds are arranged as far apart as possible. This dictates the geometry or the bond angles.
4 electron clouds
tetrahedral=109
3 electron clouds
trigonal planar=120
2 electron clouds
linear=180
0-0.4
Nonpolar covalent bond
0.5-1.8
Polar covalent bond
1.9+
Ionic bond
Symmetry may cancel polar bonds if…
linear, trigonal planar, or tetrahedral
Symmetry that results in a polar molecule…
trigonal pyramidal, bent
Order of strongest bonds…
ionic, hydrogen, dipole-dipole (polar), dispersion (nonpolar)
What’s required in order for a hydrogen bond to happen?
Must be bonded with N, O, or F. Must have lone pair on previously mentioned molecules.
Trends of stronger forces…
Higher melting temperature, higher boiling temperature, lower vapor pressure
