Definition
Electrons shared
Term
Characteristics Metallic bond
Definition
Electrons pooled
Term
When forming covalent bonds, atoms want to…
Definition
…share electrons to complete their valence
Term
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron
Definition
Hydrogen needs 2 e- to complete valence
Term
Why isn't fluorine stable?
Definition
Fluorine only has 7 valence electrons.
Term
Definition: Electronegativity
Definition
Attraction of an atom for valence e- in a chemical bond
Term
Completely covalent bonds are between which type of atoms?
Definition
Atoms of the same element
Term
Range for non-polar covalent bonds
Definition
( . 0 to 0.4)
Term
Range for polar covalent bonds
Definition
(.04 to 2.0)
Term
Determining electronegativity of bonds
Definition
Take the absolute value of the difference in electronegativity of two atoms
Term
Electrons in covalent bond are localized closer to which atom?
Definition
The atom with the greater electronegativity
Term
ϭ-
Definition
Partially negative charged
Term
ϭ+
Definition
Partially positive charged
Term
+--->
Definition
Symbol for direction of dipole movement
Term
Step 1 for building molecules
Definition
Determine total number of valence electrons (all atoms)
Term
Hint for Step 1 of building molecules
Definition
If - charge, add 1 electron for every - charge. For + charge, subtract 1 electron.
Term
Step 2 for building molecules
Definition
Determine number of electrons needed to FILL valence
Term
Step 3 for building molecules
Definition
Take half the number of bonding electrons
Term
Step 4 for building molecules
Definition
Calculate # non-bonding electrons. Subtract bonding (step 1) from valence (step 2).
Term
Step 5 for building molecules
Definition
Build molecule, remembering to complete valence and add lone pair electrons if necessary.
Term
Definition: Formal Charge
Definition
The charge an atom would have it all bonding electrons were shared equally between bonded atoms
Term
Formula for formal charge
Definition
# valence electrons - # non-bonding electrons - # bonds gives the charge.
Term
What kinds of atoms have formal charge?
Definition
Only atoms that do not have the typical number of bonds have a formal charge.
Term
What's the pattern for electronegativity on the periodic table?
Definition
Electronegativity increases towards fluorine (up and right)
Term
Step 1 for building molecules with expanded octets
Definition
Work with the number of valence electrons
Term
Step 2 for building molecules with expanded octets
Definition
Place the less electronegative atom in the central location
Term
Step 3 for building molecules with expanded octets
Definition
Form single bonds
Term
Step 4 for building molecules with expanded octets
Definition
Use the remaining valance electrons to first complete the octets for terminal atoms
Term
Step 5 for building molecules with expanded octets
Definition
Remaining valence electrons are placed on the central atom.
