Module 2: Bonding and Structure of Organic Compounds Flashcards
The best Lewis structure is the one with the?
fewest charges
To determine the geometry:
[1] Draw a valid Lewis structure
[2] Count groups around a given atom
If two or more degenerate orbitals are available, one electron is placed in each orbitals with their spins parallel until all are half-full.
Hund’s rule
A π bond is formed by side-by-side overlap of?
two 2p orbitals
A _____________ is formed by side-by-side overlap of two 2p orbitals.
π bond
σ bonds are __________ than π bonds
stronger
What orbitals do the first-and second-row atoms use to form bonds?
s and p orbitals
It is based on the fact that electron pairs repel each other, so we need to consider the lone pairs.
VSEPR
All single bonds are?
sigma bonds
Rule 2 in electron configuration
Pauli exclusion principle
type of covalent bond: between unhybridized parallel p orbitals
pi bond
_________________ down a column of the periodic table as the size of an atom increases
increases
To summarize, a C=C bond consists of?
one sigma bond and one pi bond
trend: right to left and up to down
atomic size increases
electrons are arranged in __________ at various distances from the nucleus
“shells”
Group IVA
tetrels
Group IA
alkali metals
The charge assigned to individual atoms in a Lewis structures
Formal charge
It is the joining of two atoms in a stable arrangement.
bonding
trend: down to up and left to right
electronegativity and ionization energy increases
This result from the transfer of electrons from one element to another.
ionic bonds
the most stable arrangement keeps the groups as far away as possible from the others to minimize repulsions.
Valence-shell Electron-pair Repulsion(VSEPR)Theory
These orbitals are formed when 1 s orbital combines with 1 p orbital
sp hybrid orbitals
Orbitals are filled so that those
of lowest energy are filled first
Aufbau principle
Group VA
pnictogens
A __________________ consists of the simultaneous attraction of two nuclei for one or more pairs of electrons.
covalent bond
within each shell, electrons are paired into orbitals with each orbital holding _____ electrons
two
two kinds of bonding
- ionic bonds
- covalent bonds
Two group = ?
linear (180 degrees)
Group VIIIA
noble gas
The best Lewis structure puts a negative charge on the?
most electronegative atom
