unit 7 Flashcards
Lewis Dot Models
shows valence shells of electrons
Bonding domains
in covalent bonds, places where electrons are shared
covalent bond
a bond formed when two non-metallic atoms share valence electrons
difference between covalent and ionically bonded electrons
in covalent bonds electrons are shared, in ionic bonds electrons are fully transferred
why are bonds formed?
to have a full valence shell, the octet rule
nonmetals’ IE and ENEG
nonmetals have high IE (easy to lose electrons), (high ENEG (easy to gain electrons) and high Zeff (valence e’s have high attraction to nucleus)
How are shared electrons represented in LDMs
a dash between atoms (H-H) or two dots between atoms (H:H) (used on regents)
How to draw LDMs for covalent compounds
- add total valence e’s
- create the structure for the compound
- least ENEG goes in the middle
- H RULE: never place hydrogen or a halogen in the middle
- subtract e’s for each bond
- place e’s around outer atoms to satisfy octet rule
- make sure central and other atoms have 8 atoms and if not make multiple bonds
Molecular geometry/molecular structure
the structure of atoms in a molecule
- each atom in a molecule wi; achieve a geometry that minimizes repulsion between valence e’s
Polyatomic ions LDMs
same thing but if it says ‘ion’ make sure to add or subtract that number of electrons form total before doing anything. After done put brackets around and write the charge
-PAIs bond ionically but internally they have covalent bonds
Resonance
theory that there is no single conventional LDM that represents PAIs.
resonance structure
a form of an LDM for a PAI. (e.g. NO3- has 3 resonance structures)
Sigma bond
only 1 shared pair of electron domain
-the electron density is concentrated
-‘head to head’ along the internuclear axis (the line connecting the nuclei)
pi bond
result of multiple bonds
on the outside of sigma bonds
formed by the lateral overlap of parallel p orbitals (side by side) on bonded atoms
Polar covalent bond
made when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons in a covalent bond
-shared electron pair is displaced toward the more electronegative atom
-defined by NYS as having a END of 0.5-1.6
nonpolar covalent bond
made when electrons shared equally between atoms
both atoms in the bond have the same or similar ENEG
-defined by NYS as having a END of 0.0-0.4
When hydrogen is bonded to any nonmetal, the bond is always ______
covalent
ionic bond END
≥ 1.7
END
Electronegativity difference
-determines bond type
Ionic character
the degree of bond polarity shows likeness to an ionic bond
dipoles / partial charges
minor charges created at the ends of the shared electron pair
only occurs in polar covalent bonds
represented by lowercase delta s lookin thing
dipole vectors
help illustrate bond polarity in a bonding domain
arrows pointing at negative end with ‘+’ at positive end
e.g. H +-> F
steric number
of atoms, groups, or lone shared pairs around an atom in a molecule
double and triple bonds count as one domain
electron domain geometry (EDG)
molecules get a classification based on the number of electron locations (steric number) of the LDM (domains)
steric number 1 EDG
linear
steric number 2 EDG
linear
steric number 3 EDG
trigonal planar
steric number 4 EDG
tetrahedral
steric number 5 EDG
trigonal bipyramidal
steric number 6 EDG
octahedral
expanded octet
stuff above steric number of 4, violates octet rule
uses the d sublevel
bond angle linear
180 degrees
bond angle trigonal planar
120 degrees
bond angle bent steric number 3
less than 120 degrees
bond angle tetrahedral
109.5 degrees
bond angle trigonal pyramidal
107.3 degrees
bond angle bent steric number 4
104.5 degrees
Hybridization for linear steric # 1
s (if hydrogen) or sp^3
Hybridization for linear steric # 2
sp
Hybridization trigonal planar
sp^2
