exam questions Flashcards
Helps in understanding the bonds of molecules with limitations.
Lewis Structure
Determined by its bond angles.
Shape of Molecules
Define the size and shape of the molecule.
Bond angles of molecules & Bond Lengths
Arrangement of Electron domains.
Electron Domain Geometry
Number of electron groups in Linear.
2
SF6
Octahedral
AX5
Trigonal Pyramidal
3 sides
120 degrees
According to this model, valence electrons in a chemical structure form groups, which may consist of a single bond, a double bond, a triple bond, a lone pair of electrons,
or even a single unpaired electron
VESPR Model
Defines a region where the electrons are most likely to be found.
Bonding Pair
Weak electrostatic forces that attract neutral molecules to one another.
Van Der Waals
weak intermolecular interaction arising from induced instantaneous dipoles in molecules.
London Dispersion
Found commonly in the solution where ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents.
Ion-Dipole
How many lone pairs do an angular/bent trigonal planar have?
1
Vector sum of its bond dipoles.
Dipole moment of a polyatomic molecule
