Why is it that atoms share electrons?

A

This happens when neither atom has enough attraction to take the other’s electron-so they share!

Q

The formulation of an ionic compound is (exothermic or endothermic) and why?

A

Exothermic. The attraction between oppositely charged ions causes the ions to come together and release a large amount of energy.

25
Q

if the formulation of an ionic compound is exothermic what does this lead to? (talking about physical changes, etc)

A

This causes them to form a sold, they become stable, and they create a strong bond which contributes to them being hard, brittle and to have high melting points.

31
Q

What does VSEPR stand for? and what is if for?

A

“valence shell electron pair repulsion” and it predicts the general shape of atoms. Note: atoms and electrons try to stay away from each other when they bond

32
Q

non polar compounds dissolve….

A
  1. polar compounds

2. non polar compounds

33
Q

+—–> the ‘arrow’ is towards the more ____?

A

the more electronegative side

34
Q

What does intermolecular mean?

A

This means forces between molecules

35
Q

What does intramolecular mean?

A

Forces within a single molecule

36
Q

Why are intra-and intermolecular forces important?

A

These forces influence both physical and chemical properties of different molecules

37
Q

Within gases, how do molecules look like?

A

Molecules in gases are far apart from each other which means a week attractive force between molecules

38
Q

Within liquids, how molecules look like?

A

Molecules are closer together than in gases thus that bond is stronger than the gas.

39
Q

In solids, how do molecules look like?

A

Molecules are the closest they can than in liquids and gases. this is the strongest force.

40
Q

What does changing a “state” involve?

A

Changing the speed of molecules also known as the average kinetic energy this has to do with the intermolecular forces!

41
Q

How do you change a state of a substance?

A

Heating or cooling a substance changes the average kinetic energy of the molecules and allow the forces of attraction to be more (solid) or less (gas) effective at holding the molecules close to each other

42
Q

What are the four intermolecular forces of attraction?

A
  1. Ion dipole forces
  2. Dipole dipole forces
  3. London (dispersion) forces
  4. Hydrogen bonding forces
43
Q

Are intermolecular forces stronger or weaker than intra-molecular forces?

A

Weaker

44
Q

The ______ the MP or BP of a liquid the ______ the IMF that is involved between the molecules

A

Higher

stronger

45
Q

True or false all four types of forces are electrostatic in nature?

A

True!!!!

46
Q

To melt for you or vaporize a liquid or solid requires _____ energy than to break a covalent or ionic bond.

A

Less

47
Q

Explain Ion dipole forces

A

Exist between a single ion and the partial charge on the end of a polar molecule
* note that the higher the charge the greater the attraction of the ion for the polar molecule

48
Q

Explain what a dipole dipole force is.

A

Polar molecules attract each other when the positive end of one molecule is near the negative end of another.

49
Q

Explain London forces A.K.A London dispersion forces.

A

Forces that occur between nonpolar atoms/molecules. Molecules have to be very close.

50
Q

Do all molecules get London forces?

A

Yes!

51
Q

what makes a stronger London force?

A

larger molecule or atom

52
Q

Why do molecules get squished?

A

Because when molecules are very close together, electrons want to be far apart from each other so they create the squishiness

53
Q

If molecules are very different in weights/sizes then London force attractions are ____ for the most massive/largest molecules.

A

Greatest

54
Q

What is hydrogen bonding?

A

A special inter molecular attraction between the H bond in a polar bond and an unshared electron pair on a nearby small electronegative Ion or Atom

55
Q

What are the most common polar bonds with hydrogen? And why are they?

A

H-F, H-O, and H-N

Because they are very electronegative

56
Q

What does the small size of hydrogen allow it to do?

A

It allows you to get very close to the electronegative Atom and interact strongly with it.

57
Q

why is it so easy for hydrogen to be attracted to electronegative atoms in nearby molecules?

A

Because hydrogen has no inner core electrons and it’s positive nucleus is exposed

58
Q

List the IMF’s in order from weakest strongest

A
  1. London forces which are found in all substances
  2. Dipole dipole forces (add onto London forces)

Q

How many bonds do halogens form?

A

A

Three

67

Four

68
Q

True or false: Covalent bonds can only be polar.

A

False! can be both polar or non-polar

69
Q

What is a dipole?

A

It’s a region in a molecule that is either more positive or more negative

70
Q

What determines if a bond is either polar or non-polar

A

Electronegativities

71
Q

Definition of nonpolar

A

Electrons are not pulled closer to an atom so no dipole forms

72
Q

When can nonpolar molecules happen?

A

When electrons are not pulled closer to any Atom or when polar bonds cancel each other out

73
Q

Polarity allows for weak attraction of ions in ionic compounds causing dissociation. True or false

A

True

74
Q

Which forces are van der waals forces

A

London forces dipole dipole forces hydrogen bonding and Ion dipole forces
