Question
Answer
ionic bond   attraction between oppositely-charged ions  
🗑
Coulomb's law   describes the force of attraction between oppositely-charged particles  
🗑
lattice energy   energy that is released by the formation of an ionic bond  
🗑
can lattice energy be measured directly?   no  
🗑
Lewis   created simple model for predicting the structures of covalent compounds  
🗑
What do the atoms do in ionic compounds?   nonmetal atoms steal electrons from metal atoms  
🗑
what do the electrons do in covalent compounds   electrons pairs are shared between atoms  
🗑
Why do atoms share electrons?   to attain a noble gas configuration; to have the same # of electrons in its outermost orbital as a nobel gas  
🗑
Why are hydrogen diatomic instead of monatomic?   because the two hydrogen atoms become much more stable by sharing their electrons. They want to reach a noble gas state.  
🗑
how many electrons does hydrogen "need"?   two, so it is an exception to the octet rule  
🗑
Steps for drawing Lewis Structures   1: find the # of valence electrons; 2) skeleton structure 3)satisfy the octet rule; remaining electrons go on central atom 4)make double bonds if necessary  
🗑
What are the elements are frequently make double bonds?   carbon (C), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P)  
🗑
Does chlorine, bromine, and iodine make double bonds?   yes, when they are the central atoms, not the terminal  
🗑
Which elements never make double bonds?   fluorine and hydrogen  
🗑
What does the charges on the polyatomic ions mean?   mean that there is an extra electron that we must count  
🗑
which is shorter, double bond are single bond?   double bond. Triple bond are shorter than double bond  
🗑
X-ray diffraction   a technique that allows us to determine bond lengths  
🗑
Why are formal charges useful?   to help us determine which Lewis structure is the best  
🗑
Formal for Formal Charge   FC = # of valence electron -(# unshared electrons + 1/2 # of shared electrons)  
🗑
The status of the formal charges   0 is good; +1 and -1 aren't bad; +2 and -2 are pushing things; +3 and -3 (and higher) are terrible  
🗑
Electronegativity   the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons to itself  
🗑
What element is the most electronegative?   Flourine (F)  
🗑
the trend for electronegative   increase from left to right across a period, and decrease from top to bottom in a group  
🗑
Atoms with higher electronegativity are more stable with what?   stable with a negative formal charge  
🗑
atoms with a lower electronegativity are more stable with what?   a positive formal charge  
🗑
What element is an exception to the octet rule?   Boron (only needs 6 electron); Be only needs 4  
🗑
radicals   when we get odd numbers of valence electrons  
🗑
Where would the odd electron be place?   on the atom that has the odd # of valence electron  
🗑
What is the reason that atoms can accomodate more than 8 electrons?   because they have empty d orbitals  
🗑
What are the common elements that are central atoms that have more than 8 electrons around them?   Cl, Br, I, S, Se, P  
🗑
What elements can never have more than 8 electrons?   C, N, O, F  
🗑
strength   mean the amount of energy required to break a covalent bond between two atoms  
🗑
Which is stronger, multiple bonds between two elements or single bonds between the same two element?   multiple bonds  
🗑
