Molecular Compounds Flashcards
1
Q
The Covalent Bond
A
- non metals share electrons through covalent bond
2
Q
diatomic molecules
A
- have no fear of ice cold beer
- never exist as single atom
- H, O, F, Br, I, N, Cl
3
Q
lewis Structures of Molecular Compounds
A
- a moleulcar pair is conected by a dash when sharing electrons
- all other non shared valance elctrons are shown
4
Q
lone pair
A
none bonded pairs of electrons
5
Q
covalent bond
A
pair of shared/bonded electrons
6
Q
structural formula
A
- only included covant bonds
- no lone pairs
7
Q
- lewis Structures of complex Molecular Compounds
A
- least electronegative atom= in middle
8
Q
2.lewis Structures of complex Molecular Compounds
A
- all other atoms surround central atom
9
Q
- lewis Structures of complex Molecular Compounds
A
- find total valance electrons of all atoms and find the charges of each
10
Q
- lewis Structures of complex Molecular Compounds
A
- create covalent bonds for central atom and extra atoms go around remaining atoms
- if remaining atoms are full, they can go on central atom
11
Q
- lewis Structures of complex Molecular Compounds
A
if central atom is not full, you can take exltrons from remaining atoms and create double bond
12
Q
- lewis Structures of complex Molecular Compounds
A
- replace ectrons of covant bond with lines and create square bracket + charge
13
Q
State at room temp.
A
Solid, liquid, or gas
14
Q
Physical properties
A
soft, waxy, flexible, or crystalline
15
Q
Relative melting/boiling point
A
Lower than ionic
