Q

Describe features of drugs which make use of dative covalent bonding.

A
  • Contain a large number of dative covalent bond donors (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur)

28
Q

Describe how the Steric Effect comes about.

A

The atoms composing molecules occupy some degree of space, and when atoms come too close together there’s a rise in the energy of the molecule due to the atoms being forced to occupy the same physical space.

29
Q

What effects does the Steric Effect have?

A
  • Distorts bond angles

- If the surrounding groups on the central atom are not all approx. the same size

30
Q

- Solid line / wedge: towards you, out of plane of paper

43
Q

Describe the steps for predicting the shape of molecules.

A

Consider the central atom:

1) Find the number of valence electrons (add / remove electrons for ions)
2) Work out the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs by drawing the Lewis structure of the molecule
3) If there are no lone pairs, the molecular geometry is of the 5 basic types
4) If there are lone pairs, the domain/electronic geometry is still of the 5 basic types, but the molecular geometry is different

44
Q

Define Polar Bond.

A

A covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.

45
Q

Describe the steps for predicting polarity.

A

1) Are the bonds polar? If not, the molecule will not be polar.
2) If the bonds are polar, determine the shape of the molecule.
3) Do the polar bonds point in the same direction or oppose one another? Opposing dipoles cancel out.

46
Q

Describe Polar and Non-Polar bonds with reference to dipoles.

A
  • Polar: Net dipole movement
