- Satisfy bonding preferences
methyl
H l C--H l H
aldahyde
H–C==O
Carbon make ___ bonds
4 BONDS
Nitrogen makes ___ bonds
3 BONDS
Oxygen makes ____ bonds
2 BONDS
Hydrogen makes _____ bond
1 BOND
Structural isomers
Compounds with the same elements in different ratios
Entropy
A measure for disorder
trend for bonding length=trend for radius because
high bond energies are related to the distance between the nuclei
intramolecular
Strong forces within molecules
Intermolecular
Strong forces between molecules
Linus Pauling
Won nobel prize for protein model
Smaller elements are ____electronegative
More electronegative
Resonance Hybrid Structure
Double bonds are shared between bonding molecules
Most electronegative element
Flurine
Resonance
Electrons involved in a bond can move between bonds
Who discovered resonance?
Kekule, while high
Why is Boron weird?
Only wants 6 electrons
More then 8 electrons?
Up to 12, but only if there are available d orbitals
