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-
