Question | Answer |
---|---|
Define Resonance | Resonance shows an intermediate between a single and double bond. |
Define Expanded Octet | A situation where the central atom is surrounded by more than 4 pairs of valence electrons. This happens by utilizing “d” electron orbitals. |
Define Electronegativity (EN) | Measures the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself when bonded to another atom. |
Define Ionic Bond | when two atoms combine through electron transfer. |
Define Covalent Bond | Forms when two atoms combine by sharing electrons. |
When does an ionic bond occur? | When the electronegativity is greater than 1.67 |
What does an ionic bond possess? | Covalent character |
What is the consistency of an ionic bond? | Metal + nonmetal ions in a crystal lattice |
What is the melting point of an ionic bond? | High |
Is an ionic bond a conductor? | Only when dissolved in water or in the molten/liquid state |
What is an ionic bonds form in room temp? | Solid |
When does a covalent bond occur? | When the electronegativity is less than 1.67 |
What does a covalent bond possess? | Ionic character (Except diatomic molecules like O2 |
What is the consistency of a covalent bond? | Nonmetals + other nonmetals / mettaloids |
What is the melting point of a covalent bond? | Low |
Is a covalent bond a conductor? | No |
What is a covalent bonds form in room temp? | Brittle solid or gas |
What is the consistency of a network covalent bond? | Nonmetals + other nonmetals or mettaloids |
What is the melting point of a network covalent bond? | Very high |
Is a network covalent bond a conductor? | No |
Define Molecular Geometry | How a molecule is oriented three-dimensionally. |
What does VESPR stand for? | Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory. |
Define Polar Bond | A bond that contains a positive and negative pole and is, therefore, a “dipole”. |
Define Nonpolar Bond | A bond that contains no positive or negative poles. |
What is the Cardinal Rule of Dissolving? | “Like dissolves like” (Polar solutes generally dissolve in polar solutes and vice versa.) |
