Q

How to Draw a Lewis Symbol

A
  1. Write the element Symbol (represent nucleus and bag filled energy levels)
  2. start by placing valence electrons singly into each four valence orbitals
  3. If additional locations are required for electrons once each orbital is half filled, start adding 2nd dots

33
Q

VSPER theory

A

Valence-shell-elections-pair-repulsion theory
Based on electrical repulsion of bonded and unbonded electron pairs in a molecule, pairs of electrons in the valence shell of an atom stay as far apart as possible because of the repulsion of their negative charges, electron pairs can be counted by adding bonded atoms and lone pairs

34
Q

VSPER THEORY STATES

A
  • only valence electrons of the central atom are important for molecular shape
  • valence electrons are paired in a molecule or polyatomic ion
  • bonded pairs and lone pairs are treated equally
  • valence electron pairs repel each other electrostatic-ally
  • molecular shape is determined by positions of electrons pairs when maximum distance apart

47
Q

Non-polar Covalent

When bonded atoms have same electronegativity will attract any shared electrons equally

48
Q

Polar Covalent Bond

A

If atoms have different electronegativitys, great the electronegativity difference the more polar the bond.
Can transfer 1 or more electrons to form cations and anions will group to form ionic compound with ionic bonding

49
Q

Partially negative

A

The Electrons that spend more time closer to one atomic nucleus than the other spend more time other = partially positive

50
Q

Bond dipole

A

The charge separation that occurs when the electronegativity difference of 2 bonded atoms shifts the shared electrons making one end partially positive and one end partially negative

51
Q

Polar Substances

A

Polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents=water, non-polar compounds are soluble in nonpolar solvents= grease and oils
Mixing nonpolar and polar substances will form layers with least dense liquid on top

Much weaker than covalent bonds, responsible for what we physically observe about molecular substances, control physical behaviour (boiling point etc)

54
Q

Dipole-dipole force

A

Attraction between dipoles, due to simultaneous attraction between any dipole and surround dipoles
Extremely weak, have pronounced effect on ability of solvents to dissolve some solutes and not others
*strength depends on overall polarity of molecule

55
Q

London Forces (dispersion forces)

A

Simultaneous attraction between a momentary dipole in surrounding molecules, strength depends on #of electrons and distance between molecules

56
Q

Predicting Boiling point

A

As number of electrons increases, boiling point increases

Count electrons as an indicator of relative London force strength

57
Q

Isoelectronic Molecules

A

Molecules with the same number of electrons, predicted to have same strengths for London force or intermolecular future(provided shapes are similar)
More polar Molecule=stronger dipole-dipole force =higher boiling point
Greater number of electrons =higher boiling point

58
Q

Hydrogen bonds

A

A hydrogen nucleus (a proton) could be shared between pairs of electrons on adjacent molecules results in strong intermolecular force.
