shapes of molecules Flashcards
what is the number of bond pairs and lone pairs a linear shape has
bond pairs- 2
lone pairs- 0
what is the bond angle of a linear shape
180°
what is the number of bond pairs and lone pairs a trigonal planar has
bond pairs- 3
lone pairs- 0
what is the bond angle of a trigonal planar
120°
what is the number of bond pairs and lone pairs a trigonal pyramidal
bond pairs- 3

what is the bond angle of a trigonal pyramidal
107°
what is the number of bond pairs and lone pairs a tetrahedral has
bond pairs- 4

what is the bond angle of a tetrahedral shape
109.5
what is ionic bonding
-electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions (non metal and metal)
what is covalent bonding
electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei ( non metal and non metal)
what is metallic bonding
electrostatic attraction between the positive metal ions and the sea of delocalised electrons
why does giant ionic lattices conduct electricity when liquid but not when solid
in solid state the ions are in fixed positions and cannot move. when they are in liquid state the ions are mobile and can freely carry the charge
do giant ionic lattices have high or low mp and bp
they have high as a large amount of energy is required to overcome the electrostatic bonds
in what type of solvents do ionic lattices dissolve
polar solvents like water
why are ionic compounds soluble in water
-water has a polar bond
-hydrogen atoms are +
-oxygen atoms are -
-these charges attract charged ions
what is a dative covalent bond
a bond where both of the shared electrons are supplied by one atom
describe the bonding in simple molecular structures
-atoms with the same molecule are held by strong covalent bonds and different molecules are held by weak intermolecular forces
why do simple molecular structures have low mp and bp
small amount of energy required to overcome the intermolecular forces
can simple molecular structures conduct electricity
no
properties of giant covalent structures
-high mp and bp
-non conductors of electricity apart from graphite
-insoluble
why do giant covalent structures have high mp and bp
strong covalent bonds within the molecules
what is the number of bond pairs and lone pairs a non linear has
bond pairs- 2
lone pairs 2
what is the bond angle of a non linear shape
