quiz 7 Flashcards
valence electrons
electrons on the outermost principle energy level. find val e- for non-transition metal elements by ascending from 1 val e- for group 1 , skipping the transition metals to assign group 13 3 val e-
lewis structures for ionic compounds
- for cation, draw lewis structure w 0 electrons inside bracket (ex [na]) and add charge, write shorthand underneath (ex: [he] for na since na+ lost one electron to become he)
- do same for anion except its 8 electrons instead of 0
- dont draw bonds since the bond is ionic and thus involves gain/loss in electrons
lewis structure for covalent
- determine amount of val e- for each atom and total val e-
- atom w most bonds goes in center
- at least 1 bond between each atom, up to 3 bonds
trick for drawing lewis structure of covalent compounds with non-metals
- # of bonds is 8-[# of val e-]
- # of lone pairs is 4-[# of bonds]
- ex: N has 5 val e- and therefor 8-5=3 bonds, and then 4-3=1 lone pair
lewis structure of polyatomic ions
contains covalent bonds within the polyatomic ion with +/- outside of brackets
problem solving for ch 10
molecular formula -> lewis structure -> vsepr -> net dipole
electron groups of central atom
- leads you to the electron geometry
- # of atoms bonded to central atom + # of lone pairs bonded to central atom
electron geometry with 2 electron groups
- electron geometry is linear
- 180 degree (if there are lone pairs, >180)
electron geometry with 3 electron groups
- electron geometry is trigonal
- 120 degree (if there are lone pairs, >120)
electron geometry with 4 electron groups
- electron geometry is tetrahedral
- 109.5 degree (if there are lone pairs, >109.5)
molecular geometry vs electron geometry
- electron geometry depends on electron groups
- molecular geometry makes lone pairs invisible
molecular geometry with 2 electron groups
linear
molecular geometry with 3 electron groups
- trigonal planar if theres 0 lone pairs
- bent if theres 1 lone pair
molecular geometry with 4 electron groups
- tetrahedral if theres 0 lone pairs
- trigonal pyramidal if theres 1 lone pair
- bent if theres 2 lone pairs
electronegativity
measure of how much an atom “wants” an electron
increasing as you go up and to the right where F is the most electronegative
