34
Q

What is Lewis Theory of covalent compounds?

A

Atoms achieve octet by sharing e-
A bond consists of a
shared pair of e-

35
Q

What are e- called that are not shared?

Lewis Theory - covalent

A

Lone pairs

36
Q

How is the shape of a molecule explained?

A

Electrostatic repulsion between bonding pairs + lone pairs

37
Q

What pattern do atoms in the first period tend to follow?

A
C = 4 bonds + no L.P
N = 3 bonds + 1 L.P
O = 2 bonds + 2 L.P
H = 1 bond + no L.P
Halogens = 1 bond + 3 L.P
38
Q

What is formal charge?

A

No. of valence e- - (no. of L.P + 1/2 no. of bonding e-)

39
Q

What is it hen one atom has a single unpaired e-?

A

A free radical

40
Q

What is Kekule structure?

A

Bonding e- drawn as lines + L.P not shown

41
Q

What happens in covalent bonding of 2 different atoms?

A

Covalent bond where 2 e- are shared unequally

42
Q

What do polar covalent bonds have?

A

Dipoles

43
Q

Why is a bond polar?

A

When one atom is more electronegative than another atom

44
Q

What is electronegativity?

A

The ability of an atom to pull bonding e- towards itself

45
Q

What is the most electronegative element?

A

Fluorine

46
Q

What is the least electronegative element?

A

Caesium

47

A

0.1-0.4

49
Q

What is the electronegativity difference of polar covalent bond?

A

0.5-1.9

50
Q

What is the size of the dipole indicated by?

A

Dipole moment

51
Q

How do you calculate dipole moment?

A

Magnitude of charge on atom X distance between 2 charges

52
Q

For complex molecules what does dipole moment depend on?

A

Dipole moments of all bonds in molecule + geometry of molecule

53
Q

For molecules with only 1 covalent bond, what is the dipole moment?

A

Just dipole moment of that bond

54
Q

What are the colours of electrostatic potential maps?

A

Blue > green > yellow > orange > red
Blue = most positive electrostatic potential
red = most negative electrostatic potential

59
Q
