Unit 2 Flashcards
Why do bonds form?
The molecule has a lower energy - becoming more stable then separated atoms.
Ionic - ions formed
Covalent - electrons shared
Ionic Bonding
Electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Ionic solids form because oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other in all directions. - non-directional bond
Difference in Electronegativity
Electronegativity
The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons toward itself, Increasing effective nuclear charge, you can more easily attract electrons to the nucleus
Most electronegative element
- Down a column, atoms get less electronegative. Atoms are getting bigger, adding more orbitals. The attraction will be little.
Lewis Structure Bonding
Total valence electrons, draw covalent bond (2 electrons) between atoms and central atom.. Give out remaining electronegative atoms as lone pairs, if not full form multiple bonds.
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Model
Shapes of molecules arise from electron groups arranging them as far apart from others to minimize repulsion
Linear
Not counting these lone pairs because we are looking at the CENTRAL ATOM
2 electron groups around central atoms
Trigonal planar
More than one shape.
Around carbon - trigonal planar
Around nitrogen - trigonal planar
The double bond pushes the angles (not exactly 120 degrees)
TRIGONAL PLANAR - 3 electron groups around central atom
Tetrahedral
Trigonal pyramidal or tetrahedral
- Either way, it has four electron groups, that lone pair is occupying one of the sights
Trigonal bipyramid
expanded octet
SF4
seesaw
Octahedral
Lone pairs still effect the shape
6 electron groups
Dipole Moment
DIPOLE MOMENTS : a measure of the separation of charge in a molecule arising from the unequal sharing of electrons in polar bonds
Symmetry - symmetrical = cancel
Intramolecular Forces
FORCES WITHIN MOLECULE
Intermolecular forces
FORCES OUTSIDE OF MOLECULES
Ion-dipole attraction
Interaction between fully charged ion and partial charges of a polar molecule, energy of attraction increases with the charge of the ion and decreases with the square of the distance between the ion and dipole
Attraction energy = increases with the charge on the ion and decreases with the square of the distance between the ion and dipole.
Need to have an ionic compound and a covalently bound compound with a dipole moment = this interaction is only in mixtures.
Dipole Dipole interactions
In order to have dipole-dipole interactions = has to be polar molecules. Attraction between opposite charges.
there are repulsions that help orient the like charges.
Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen bond - intermolecular force - between molecules,
Special case of dipole-dipole
Ice floating on liquid water - less dense. Ice forms crystals that are less dense then water, partially because of the strong hydrogen bond.
Electronegativity difference is great in hydrogen bonding - strongest intermolecular force
London Dispersion Forces
Molecules that have no dipole moment - ex. Neon has no dipole moment —- but, electrons can randomly move about and concentrate in one region more than another. Making a partially negative and positive charge - INSTANTANEOUS DIPOLE
Then they can concentrate in a different region. Random movement of electrons, causing dipole moment
Polarizable
Can be distorted
Pressure
Force exerted over an area, Measuring pressure - manometer (closed tube). Tube stuck into mercury filled disk - have atmospheric pressure pushing on the dish - it will rise until the force of gravity makes the pressure balanced - then gives us the height. Forces proportional to the gravity
