Leaching
metal extracted from ore by a liquid
Unit Cell Chlorine
Face-Centred Cubic
Most abundant element in Earth’s crust
Al
Electronegativity
ability of an element to attract bonding electrons
- greatest in the upper right
ionic bond: difference > 1.9
covalent bond: 0 - 1.9
Polar
0.5 - 1.9
Best Lewis Structure
minimize formal charge
Exceptions to Octet Rule
- elements >= 3rd row can hold more
- less than 8 electrons (B)
- odd electron species
Resonance Structures
- multiple plausible Lewis structures
- only move electrons
- all must be valid
- actual is a hybrid of all
VSEPR - Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
- shows molecular shape/geometry
- maximize space between electron “group” and central atom
Electron-domain geometry
- shape it is based on
Molecular geometry
- final shape
Molecular Shape and Polarity
- molecular shape can cancel dipoles
Bond order
# of bonds # bonding e - # anti-bonding e / 2
Bond energy
Energy needed to split bonds
Bond Order/Lengths/Energies
larger bond order = shorter bond length = larger bond energy
Favourable Transformation
Enthalpy is negative
Erxn = Ebreak + Eform
Valence Bond Theory
- overlap of orbitals
Sigma Bond
cylindrically around bond axis
Pi Bond
- for multiple bonds
- above and below sigma bond
Hybridization
- # electrons groups bonding = # hybrid orbitals
- only for sigma bonds
Molecular Orbital Theory
- describe all electronic/magnetic features
Anti bonding *
- creates new node
2p sigma and pi orbital switch (MO theory)
B, Be, Li, C, N
Key Features of MO Theory
- total number of MO = total number combined AO
- in phase/bonding = low energy
- out of phase/anti-bonding = high energy
- obeys filling rules
Primary Valence
bonding between complex and counter ion
Secondary Valence
bonding between metal centre and ligands
Ligand
- Lewis base
- must be able to donate electrons
- must be negative

Name Coordination Compound
- name cation first
- ligands in alpha order
- use prefixes on ligands
- roman numerals for metals
- add “-ate” to end of metal in anion
Structural Isomers
- coordination
- ionization
- linkage
Coordination Isomerism
- switch ligands on a metal centre
Ionization Isomerism
- switch counter ion/ligand
Prefix change CC
if prefix in name
prefixes change to
bis, tris, tetrakis
Linkage Isomerism
- donor atom in the ligand is different
- shown in name -O- -N-
Stereoisomers
geometric
optical(enantiomers)
Geometric Isomerism
- differ in relative orientation of ligands cis - similar ligands beside each other trans - opposite sides put in front if name - different properties - square planar: MA2B2 - octahedral: MA4B2
Optical Isomers
Enantiomers
- non-superimposable mirror images (non-symmetrical)
- place of attachment of polydentate ligands
- similar properties
- acts differently in polarized light
