Lecture 8 Flashcards
1
Q
Expanded octet
A
Have more than 8 electrons because of the d-sublevel
2
Q
Formal charges
A
# valence e- + (# bonding e-/2) Overall formal charges = 0 or the overall charges if polyatomic ion
3
Q
Bond energy
A
High = stronger compound
4
Q
Bond length
A
Higher = Less energy
5
Q
Bond order
A
Increase = bond length decrease = PE of the bond decrease = bond energy decrease
6
Q
Incomplete octet
A
Can’t have a full octet
