final Flashcards
electron configuration for ions
- write regular electron configuration
- determine the number of electrons needed to gain or lose to have a stable octet
- write new ion formation
ion formation by transition metals
-transition metals have an outer s2d10 electron congfiguration
-d-block elements lose their s electrons before their d electrons when forming ions
metals that form more than one charge
Cu1+ and Cu2+
Fe2+ and Fe3+
Pb2+ and Pb4+
Sn2+ and Sn4+
ionic bonds
electrostatic forces that hold ions together in ionic compounds
electrostatic forces
attraction between oppositely charged ions
bonds in metals
-valence electrons in metal atoms are a sea of electrons
-mobile
-drifts freely
-bonds consist of attraction between valence electrons and metal ions
-bonds from delocalized electrons
nonpolar covalent bond
the 2 electrons are shared equally between the 2 nuclei
ternary ionic compound bonds
covalent: holds the atoms in the polyatomic ion together
ionic: bonds the metal cation to the negative polyatomic ion
molecule
neutral group of atoms joined by covalent bonds
properties of molecular compounds
-lower melting and boiling points
-soft solids, liquids, and gases at room temp
-do not conduct electricity
VSEPR model
explains molecular shapes for representative elements; negative electron domains repel each other
ABn
A: central atom, bonded to n atoms of B
AB2
linear
AB3
trigonal pyramidal/planar
AB4
tetrahedral
