Final Exam Review Section 5 Flashcards
Lattice energy
-The higher charge present on each ion the greater the lattice energy
-smaller the radius of atoms the higher the lattice energy
-1st rule takes precedent over 2nd rule
Bond order
Corresponds to the number of bonds between 2 atoms (i.e. single, double or triple)
-Greater the Bond order the greater the bond strength
Bond length
Distance between 2 atoms nucelli
1.Bond length will increase as radius of atoms increase
2.Bond length will increase as bond order decreases (i.e. single nond>double>triple)
Bond Energy
Reflects how strong a bond is, directly related to bond order. How much energy required to break bond.
1. Greater bond energy than the shorter the bond length
Octet Rule
Atom must have 8 electrons in its valence shell to be stable. each bond and Lone pair correspond to 2 electrons.
Octet Rule exceptions
- Hydrogen
-only needs two electrons to obtain full outer shell and can be stable with 0 - Boron & Beryllium
-stable with fewer electrons Boron (6) Beryllium (4)
3.Atoms with more than 8
-any nonmetal in period 3 or higher
Formal charge
FC = (# of valence electrons) - (# of dots) - (# of lines)
Lewis structure process
1.Determine total number of valence electrons
2.Determine central atom (Most electropositive)
-never hydrogen
3.add valence electrons to central atom
4. connect via covalent bonds
5.Insert multiple bonds in necessary
6.Assign formal charges
7.Choose best structure
-Negative charge on more electronegative atom
Bond energy equation
Hr = (sum of reactants) - (sum of products)
Breaking bonds is typically an endothermic reaction and requires energy.
