Q

Molecular Geometry

A

Gives us the general shape of the molecules; Depends on the number of Bonding Pairs

17
Q

Linear Shape

A

Produced when two groups around a central atom try to get as far as away as possible

18
Q

Trigonal Planar

A

occurs when a central atom is bonded with three atoms, with no lone pairs on the central atom

19
Q

Tetrahedral Molecular

A

forms when a central atom is bonded to four other atoms, again with no lone pairs

20
Q

Trigonal Bipyramid

A

five electron pairs surround a central atom. Three pairs are positioned in a triangular plane and one above and below equal to 90 degrees

21
Q

Octahedron

A

3-Dimensional geometric shape with eight faces; Each face is a triangle

22
Q

Properties of Ionic Bonds

A

most common between metals with low ionization energy like lithium, sodium, and potassium
