| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the valence bond theory? | -chemical bond (covalent) form from overlap of valence orbitals (s+p) -e- pairs move away from each other in 3 dimensions -movement is due to repulsions, minimizes energy of repulsion |
| What is the steric number? | number of bonded atoms + number of lone pairs; 2 to 6 |
| What is the electron pair geometry? | Designation for shape given a steric number |
| What is molecular geometry? | Name given for the shape of a molecule, ignoring LPs |
| What does the A stand for in AXE notation? | central atom |
| What does the X stand for in AXE notation? | Number of bonded atoms |
| What does the E stand for in AXE notation? | LPs on center |
| What is the EP for a steric number of 6? | octahedral |
| What is the MG for AX6? | octahedral |
| What is the MG for AX5E? | square-pyramidal |
| What is the MG for AX4E2? | square planar |
| What is the MG for AX3E3 | T-shape |
| What is the MG for AX2E4? | linear |
| What is the EP for a steric number of 5? | Trigonal bipyramidal |
| What is the MG for AX5? | Trigonal bipyramidal |
| What is the MG for AX4E? | See-saw |
| What is the MG for AX3E2? | T-shape |
| What is the MG for AX2E3? | linear |
| What is the EP for a steric number of 4? | Tetrahedral |
| What is the MG for AX4? | tetrahedral |
| What is the MG for AX3E? | trigonal pyramidal |
| What is the MG for AX2E2? | Bent |
| What is the EP for a steric number of 3? | trigonal planar |
| What is the MG forAX3? | Trigonal planar |
| What is the MG for AX2E? | bent |
| What is the EP for a steric number of 2? | linear |
| What is the MG for AX2? | linear |
| Rules for drawing a 3D structure | -draw a valid lewis structure -determine SN -assign AXE -assign EP and MG -draw true to shape |
| H + Halogen? | 1 bond |
| C + Halogen? | 4 bond, 0 LP |
| N + Halogen? | 3 bond, 1 LP |
| O + Halogen? | 2 bond, 2 LP |
