lewis dot formula
A formula using dots to represent valence electrons
octet rule
In forming covalent bonds, atoms tend toward having a full eight electrons in their valence shell
*H is exception bc it has two electrons in its valence shell.
ionic radius
a measure of the size of the spherical region around the nucleus of an ions within which the e- are most likely to be found
- can be measured using known distances between nuclei in crystals
isoelectric
different species having the same number and configuration of electrons.
organize the following isoelectronic series in decreasing order:
F-, O 2-, Mg +2
O 2-, F-, Mg +2
bond length
The distance between the atoms when energy is at a minimum
polar covalent bond
a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons spend more time near one atom than near the other atom.
what elements have the highest electronegativity?
Cl, F, O, N
what are the 3 exceptions to lewis dot diagrams
- odd # of e-
- too few e-
- too many e-
example of having an odd # of e-
NO (11)
- not stable
example of having too few e-
Be, Al, B
- Be forms 2 bonds
- Al and B form 3 bonds
example of having too many e-
XeF4
8 + 4(7) = 36 e-
formal charge
group # - # of bonds - # of lone pair e-
electronegativity
a measure of the ability of an atom in a molecule to draw bonding electrons to itself.
single bond
a covalent bond in which one pair of electrons is shared by two atoms.
double bond
a covalent bond in which two pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms.
*Double bonds form primarily with C, N, O, and S atoms.
triple bond
a covalent bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms.
*Triple bonds form primarily with C and N atoms.
rules for formal change
- Half of the electrons of a bond are assigned to each atom in the bond.
- Both electrons of a lone pair are assigned to the atom to which the lone pair belongs.
resonance
the electron structure of a molecule or ion having delocalized bonding is given by writing all possible electron-dot formulas. They are connected with a double-headed arrow.
expanded octet
periods 3,4, 5,… non-metals
*P, S
bond order
# of pairs of e- in a bond *larger the bond order, shorter the bond length
bond length
distance between nuclei in a bond
which is the shortest: C-C, O=O, N≡N
N≡N
bond energy
energy it takes to break a bond
- can be used to measure ∆H
- break multiple bonds to get a single bond
2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2 H2O (g) using the chart, find the ∆H
-482 kJ
