Unit 1 + 2 Flashcards
Hybrid SP bond angle
180
Hybrid SP2 bond angle
120
Hybrid SP3 bond angle
109.5
When does an atom have no net dipole?
When it is non-polar, molecule is symmetric
Sigma bonds
The first bond between atoms
Pi bonds
The second or third bond between atoms
Can hydrogen hybridize?
No because it does not have a P orbital
How do you determine the hybridization of an atom?
How many bonding sites there are
2 bonding sites = sp
3 bonding sites = sp2
4 bonding sites = sp3
tetrahedral
4 atoms bonded, no lone pairs on central atom, bond angle is 109.5
trigonal planar
3 atoms bonded, no lone pairs on central atom, bond angle is 120
Bent
2 atoms bonded, 1 lone pair on central atom, bond angle is <120 - if two lone pairs bond angle is 104
trigonal pyramidal
3 atoms bonded, 1 lone pair on central atom, bond angle is 107
trigonal bipyramidal
5 atoms bonded, no lone pairs, bond angle is eq. 120 ax. 90
Seesaw
4 atoms bonded, lone pair, bond angle is eq. 120 ax. 90
T shape
3 atoms bonded, 2 lone pairs, bond angle 90
Linear
1 or 2 atoms bonded, could be lone pairs, bond angle 180
octahedral
6 atoms bonded, no lone pairs, bond angle is 90
square based pyramid
5 atoms bonded, 1 lone pair, bond angle is 90
square planar
4 atoms bonded, 2 lone pairs, bond angle is 90
formal charge
formal charge should be as low as possible- ex. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons therefore wants 6 electrons in dot structure
Electron deficient molecules
Are stable when central atom has less than 8 electrons ( Boron or Beryllium) they do not have enough electrons to have 8
Odd number of valence electron molecules
NO, NO2, ClO2
what group has no electronegativity?
noble gases
What atoms can expand their octets?
3rd period and lower, often when P, S or Xe are the central atom
