Unit 2 Bonding and Intermolecular forces Flashcards
why do bonds form?
because the molecule has a lower energy than its separated atoms
what are the two types of bonds?
ionic and covalent bonds
ionic bond
electrostatics attraction between oppositely changed atoms
how do ionic solids form?
because opposites charged ions are attracted to each other in all directions
ions have no directional attraction
covalent bonding? how are electrons usually shared?
electrons sharing between nonmetals
electrons are not usually shared equally
electronegativity
the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself
electronegativity difference to identify types of bonds
less than 0.4 nonpolar
between 0.4 and 1.7 polar
greater than 1.7 ionic
lewis structure? Covalent bond? Covalent pair?
drawing of covalently bonded atoms
covalent bond is a line
covalent pair is two dots
what are the steps to drawing a lewis diagram?
1.determine the total number of valence electrons
2.draw the covalent bonds between each atom where less electronegative atom goes in the middle
- give out remain g ecltrons as lone pairs that each atom has a full valence shell
- if some atoms do not have a full valence shell turn the lone pairs into bonds
VSPER job
predict the shape of molecule based on its electron configuration
what is a dipole moment
a measure of separation of charge in a molecule arising from unequal sharing of electrons in a polar bond
what are the four types of intermolecular forces
- ion dipole
- dipole dipole
- hydrogen bonds
- London dispersion forces
ion dipole interaction
interaction between a fully charged ion and the partial charges of a polar molecule
how does the energy of attraction in an ion dipole interaction increase and decrease?
increase with charge of ion
decreases with square of distance between the ion and the dipole
what is hydrogen bonding
dipole dipole interaction between a hydrogen and a highly electronegative atom such as NOF
