Term
Linear
Definition
2 bonded pairs
Term
Trigonal Planar
Definition
3 bonded pairs
Term
Bent
Definition
2 bonded pairs, 1 lone pair
Term
Trigonal Pyramidal
Definition
3 bonded pairs, 1 lone pair
Term
Tetrahedral
Definition
4 bonded pairs
Term
sp
Definition
2 bonds
Term
sp2
Definition
3 bonds
Term
sp3
Definition
4 bonds
Term
sigma bond
Definition
single bond, end to end overlap
Term
pi bond
Definition
side to side over lap
weaker than sigma bond
Term
double bond
Definition
sigma bond and pi bond
Term
triple bond
Definition
sigma bond and two pi bonds
Term
Intermolecular forces
Definition
bonds between molecules
Term
Permanent Dipole-Dipole attractions
Definition
Attraction between polar molecules, occurs only between two molecules that are polar (atom with high electron negativity bonds with an atom of low electron negativity). Do not require a lot of energy to break, therefore weaker than covalent bonds
Term
Hydrogen Bonds
Definition
• Hydrogen Bonds: Permanent dipole-dipole attractions between Hydrogen and Nitrogen, Flourine or Oxygen are called hydrogen bonds. Strongest type of permanent dipole-dipole bond.
Term
Non polar
Definition
electrons between two atoms shared equally
Term
London dispersion forces
Definition
Occurs between any pair of molecules. Motion of electrons leads to temporary polarization.
Term
strongest forces to weakest forces
Definition
Intramolecular
(Covalent)
Intermolecular:
Permanent Dipole-Dipole attractions (Hydrogen Bonds)
Temporary dipole-dipole attractions (Van der Waals)
London dispersion forces
Term
hydrophobic
Definition
Fats repel water, don’t dissolve in water: Non polar because hydrogen and carbon have similar electron negativity.
Term
Carbons
Definition
Need to have four bonds
Term
saturated
Definition
No double or triple bonds, contains as many hydrogens as are possible for the carbons on long chain: not very soluble, not healthy
Term
Unsaturated
Definition
One or more double bonds
Term
Cis
Definition
(same side) Double bond with two carbons on same side of double bond, causes kink in chain, will bend molecule
Term
Trans
Definition
Carbons on opposite side of double bonds
Term
monounsaturated
Definition
one double bond
Term
polyunsaturated
Definition
more than one double bond
Term
Alkanes
Definition
Hydrocarbons with only single bonds, in an alkane all C’s are sp3 hybridized and because each C is bonded to the maximum number of other atoms (C or H) alkanes are called saturated hydrocarbons.
Term
Alkenes
Definition
At least one double bond
Term
Alkynes
Definition
have triple bond
Term
Structural isomers
Definition
same formula, different structure
Term
all branches end in
Definition
-yl
Term
