Unit 1.4 Flashcards
Ionic bonding?
Bond formed by the electrical attraction between a cation and an anion
Covalent bond?
pair of electrons with opposite spin shared between 2 atoms with each atom donating 1 electron
Co - ordinate bond?
a covalent bond in which shared electrons come from the same atom
Bonding?
due to electrical attraction and repulsion between protons + electrons
Ionic bonding?
cations and anions
each cation is surrounded by anions and vice versa
maximising electron and minimising repulsion
What does the repulsion mean?
prevents the ions from getting too close
Covalent?
the electrons in the pair repel each other but this is to overcome by their attraction to both nuclei
if the atoms get too close, inner electrons repel so the covalent bond is always a certain length between different elements
electrons spin must be in the opposite direction for a bond to form
What is the Pauling scale?
a measure of electron negativity
Electronegativity?
a measure of the ability of an atom to attract an electron in a covalent bod
Polar bonds?
In a covalent bond, the electron pair is not shared equally due to differences in their electronegativity
How are they classed as non polar covalent bonds?
If 2 atoms are less than 0.4 diference
0.4 - 0.9?
a polar covalent bond
If bigger than 2?
the bond = ionic
Intramolecular?
the bonding within molecules
Intermolecular?
bonding between molecules
strong bonds between the atoms which govern its chemistry
What are intermolecular?
weak bonds holding molecules together + it governs physical properties
How many types of dipole are there?
3
What are dipole?
polar molecules have dipole S+ AND S-
they arrange themselves so the positive of one attract the negative of another
Why can a permanent dipole not always be formed?
Dipoles do not always align to produce an attraction as they move randomly
In methane?
forces = very weak and molecules separate for example liquid boils at -162 degrees but C-H bonds are very strong + need a temp of 600degrees before they will break
What are intermolecular bonding caused by?
caused by electrical attraction between opposite charges
Why will the molecule have a Dipole - Dipole?
molecule may have + and - dipoles and if electronegativities of the atoms are not the same
