A

Tells us how electrons interact to hold atoms together into molecules and defines covalent bonds as electron density between 2 atoms as a result of constructive interference

Pi bond (5)

A
  • Formed by overlap of p orbitals side to side
  • Multiple bonds consists of one sigma bond and some pi bonds
  • Contains 2 regions of electron density
  • Rotation not allowed
  • Overlapping must occur in similar phase orbitals

30
How to valence theory (4)
1. Identify valence orbitals of bonding atoms 2. Sketch valence orbital 3. Bring in atoms to be bonded to central atom and sketch overlap 4. Describe structure
31
Hybrid orbitals
The "mixing' of orbitals
32
Relationship between the # of atomic orbitals and the # of hybrid orbitals produced
Must equal
33
Molecular orbital theory
States that electron in molecules are not assigned to individual chemical bonds, but rather moving under the influence of atomic nuclei in molecule. Electrons are assigned to molecules as a whole
34
Constructiveness interference
Forms a bonding molecular orbital with high region of electron density between nuclei
35
Destructiveness interference
Forms an anti bonding molecular orbital with a node between nuclei
36
Molecular orbital rules (6)
1. # of atomic orbitals combined = # of molecular orbitals 2. Bonding orbitals hold molecules together with low energy 3. Antibonding orbitals do not help hold molecules together and are high energy 4. Electrons fill lowest energy first 5. Degenerate orbitals fill singly before pairing 6. Maximum 2 electrons per orbital
37
*
High energy antibonding molecular orbital
38
Bonding molecular orbital
Force goes towards atom
39
Antibonding molecular orbital
Forces repel
40
Bond order
Bonded electrons-antibonded electorns/2
41
Bond order 1
Single bond
42
Bond order 2
Double bond
43
Bond order 1/2
Single bond with one electron
44
Bond order 0
Indicates that a bond is unlikely to form
45
Higher bond order
Indicates stronger bond, high stability, low energy, smaller bond length
46
Bond order 3
Triple bond
47
Paramagnetic
Contains unpaired electrons
48
Diamagnetic
Contains paired electrons
49
HOMO
Highest energy orbitals (has electrons)
50
LUMO
Lowest energy orbital (no electrons)
51
3 states of matter
Solid, liquid, gas
52
Condensed phases
Solid and liquids. This is because they are all packed closer together
53
How does temperature impact kinetic energy
Higher temperature = higher kinetic energy
54
Intermolecular forces
Attractive/repulsive force between molecules of a substance that impact physical properties of matter. Without this, all matter would exist as a gas
55
Strong intermolecular force
Requires more thermal energy to break the molecules apart = higher boiling/melting point
56
3 types of intermolecular force
1. London dispersion 2. Dipole-dipole 3. Hydrogen bonding
57
Intramolecular force
Found within the molecule that keeps it together
58
London dispersion
Present in all neutral molecules/atoms and the weakest bond. Caused by when electrons are not evenly distributed inside orbital and results in small partial charges
59
Polarizability
Tendency of an atom/molecule to form a distorted electron cloud based on 3 conditions
60
Polarizability dependancy (3)
1. Larger atoms = more polarizable 2. Larger molecules = more polarizable 3. Larger surface area = stronger dispersion force
61
Dipole-dipole (3)
- Occurs when a molecule has a permanent dipole and partial negative lines up with partial positive - The more polar, the stronger the dipole - Stronger the dipole = higher the boiling point (harder to pull)
62
Hydrogen bonding
Strongest intermolecular force that occurs when a partial positive hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to small electronegative partial negative atom N, O, F
63
Order in strength of intermolecular force
London dispersion --> dipole-dipole --> hydrogen bond
64
Water physical property
Each H2O molecule can form up to 4 hydrogen bonds at one time which makes water liquid at room temperature
65
Why is liquid water more dense than solid water
Because of the orientation of hydrogen bonds that cause the molecules to push further apart in solid state, lowering the density
