exam 3: chapters 8 & 9 Flashcards
Ionic bond
metal + nonmetal
(cation + anion)
- EN > 1.7
Covalent
nonmetal + nonmetal
- sharing of e- b/w 2 atoms
Nonpolar
covalent b/w same element
- equal pull
ionic bonding
metal loses e-, nonmetal gains e-
Born-Haber Cycle (energetics of ionic bonding):
- Break into separate elements
- Add energy (heat) to transform Na (s)(g)
- Add energy (heat) to transform ½Cl2 (g) (g)
- Electron is transfers/added to Cl (g)
- Opposites attract; Na and Cl attract
Lattice energy
energy to separate 1 mol of (s) –> 2 ions (g)
- ↑ w/ ↑ charge of ions
- ↑ w/ ↓ size of ions
charge > energy
- consumes energy
Lewis’ Rule
Column/group # = # of valence e-
- ex: group 3A = 3 v. e-
Octet rule
atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons until they’re surrounded by 8 valence e-
- (full s and p subshells)
↑ # bonds = __ distance
= ↓ distance
- additional bonding e- attract nuclei more
Bond polarity
measures how equal/unequal e- shared in covalent bond
nonpolar covalent bond
e- shared equally
- EN < 0.4
polar covalent bond
1 atom exerts greater attraction for the bonding e-
- partially (+) or partially (-)
- 0.4 < EN < 1.7
Electronegativity (EN)
ability/strength of atom to attract e-
- increase left–>right, bottom–>top
Polar molecule
separation of (+) and (-) charges in molecule
- unequal pull
dipole
2 electrical charges of = magnitude but opposite sign separated by distance
dipole moment (μ)
2 equal & opposite charges (Q+/Q-) separated by distance (r)
- μ = Qr
- Unit (μ) = D
Formal charge =
= (# v.e. atom brings) – (# e- surrounding on LS)
Resonance structures
1 LS can’t accurately depict molecule
- Need multiple LS
- ex: Ozone (O3)
Bond angles
angles made by lines joining nuclei of atoms
Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Model:
Electron pairs repel each other
- best arrangement = minimizes repulsions
region e- most likely to be found
bonding pair
Hypervalent
more than octet of e-
- break octet rule
Bond dipole
dipole moment w/ 2 atoms
- Bond dipole and dipole moments = vector quantities
- must consider 3D shape
nonpolar bond dipole
equal/opposite bond dipoles = symmetric
- Linear
polar bond dipole
bent in nature = asymmetric
- Overall dipole moment = up/towards
O (partial -) away H (partial +)
Valence-bond theory
“overlap” of orbitals
- Sharing of space b/w 2 e- of opposite spin = covalent bond
- share space b/w nuclei
Hybrid orbitals
“mixing” of 2+ atomic orbitals on the same atom
degenerate orbitals
“new orbitals” after hybridization
- 2 orbitals mix –> create 2 orbitals
- 6 e- start –> 6 e- end
Orbital Shape
orbitals in bonded molecules (molecular orbitals) have diff shape an unbonded atom (atomic orbitals)
