Gr.11 T2 Chemistry Flashcards
What are valence electrons?
The number of electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom.
What is electrostatic force?
The force of attraction or repulsion between two charged particles.
What are chemical bonds?
The net electrostatic force that two atoms sharing electrons exert on each other.
What is potential energy?
Energy due to the position of objects
What is the main reason for atoms to bond?
Increased stability due to lower potential energy
What is a dative covalent bond?
A bond where both electrons in the shared pair belong to the same atom.
What is the VSEPR-theory?
Valence electron pairs will repel each other so that they are as far from each other as possible.
Give examples of electron regions
Lone pair
Shared pair of electrons
Double/ triple bonds = 1 electron region
Etc.

What is electronegativity?
The tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself and form a negative ion.
Below what point is a bond with a difference in EN a polar covalent bond?
< 2,1
What will be zero if a molecule is non-polar?
The net dipole moment is 0
What will be zero if a bond is non-polar?
The difference in electronegativity between the atoms
What is another name for a non-polar molecule?
A symmetrical molecule
What is a bond?
An electrostatic force of attraction holding atoms together.
What is bond energy?
The energy needed to break a bond in a molecule when reagents are in the gas phase at standard conditions.
What is bond length?
The average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms.
What are forces between molecules called?
Intermolecular forces
What are forces that hold atoms together inside a molecule called?
Intramolecular forces
What are the 5 types of intermolecular forces?
Ion-dipole forces Ion-induced-dipole forces Dipole-dipole forces (some of which have hydrogen bonding) Dipole-induced-dipole forces London forces
