structure and bonding Flashcards
Ductility Why
as atoms and electrons are able to move and pass over each other without breaking non directional bonds.
Most electronegative element
F
Non Polar Shapes
Linear, Triganol Planar, Tetrahedral
VESPR Theory
“these regions mutually repel to maximize separation and minimize repulsion)
Water is
Polar
Ductility
substance is able to be drawn into a wire
Conductivity
in order to conduct electricity a substance must have free moving or delocalized electrons in order to pass a charge.
Electronegativity
degree to which an atom wants to attract a bonding pair of electrons
Exceptions to the bond rule
H=2 electrons= 1 bond
BE- 4 electrons 2 bonds
B 6 electrons 3 bonds.
Polar Shapes
bent trigonal pyramid
Molecular Solids only dissolve
when the polarity of the solvent and the solute are the same
In order for a substance to dissolve
the solute and the solvent particles need to form sufficiently strong attractive forces to overcome the already existing forces of attraction.
