electronegativity meaning
relative attraction that an atom of an element has for the shared pair of electrons (likeliness of participating in covalent bond)
what is used to determine the type of bond b/w atoms
electronegativity value difference
electronegativity value difference + electron distribution of pure covalent bond
△Xp = 0, equal distribution
electronegativity value difference + electron distribution of polar covalent bond
0 <△Xp <= 1.8, unequal distribution
electronegativity value difference + electron distribution of ionic bond
△Xp > 1.8, ionized (no sharing)
what is it called when an atom is more likely to form covalent bond
greater covalent character
what is it called when an atom is more likely to form metallic bond
greater metallic character
what bond is formed b/w metal (low IE, low EN) and metal (low IE, low EN)
metallic
what bond is formed b/w metal (low IE, low EN) and non-metal (high IE, high EN)
ionic
what bond is formed b/w non-metal (high IE, high EN) and non-metal (high IE, high EN)
covalent
what is another name for the triangular bonding diagram
van Arkel - ketelaar triangle (in data booklet)
octet rule
atoms losing and gaining electrons to get full orbital
what results in formation of ionic bond
electrostatic force of attraction
ways to tell multivalent transition metals appart
- visually, solutions will have diff colours
- naming using roman numerals
- old: latin system
cations are positively charged and have been ________
oxidized
anions are negatively charged and have been _______
reduced
what is the giant ionic lattice
- 3D crystalline structure of anions and cations
- fixed arrangement of ions based on a repeating unit
what is the coordinate number
expresses number of ions that surround given ion in lattice
what is lattice energy
measure of strength of attraction b/w ions within lattice
what ions have a higher lattice energy
- small and highly charged ions since they have larger charge density
number of ions in lattice
- very large number and can grow indefinitely
what does melting point depend on, what gives high melting point?
ionic radius and ionic charge of ions
- large charge, small ionic radius
volatility meaning
how easily a substance evaporates
ionic compounds have very low/high volatility. why?
low - strong forces of attraction b/w ions in lattice
large molecules are more/less volatile
more
what allows substance to conduct electricity
- must contain charged particles that can move
- ionic compounds must have cations and anions

lattice enthalpy meaning
measure of the strength of an ionic bond/energy required to build lattice structure
factors affecting lattice enthalpy
ionic radius, ionic charge
