The octet rule applies to which elements?

All main group elements except hydrogen, lithium, boron and aluminum

What is the octet rule?

Stable electron configuration consists of 8 electrons in valence shell

Hydrogen and lithium need how many valence electrons to be stable?

2

When drawing Lewis structures for Ionic compounds, which ions are inside brackets?

The anions

Electron geometry

The geometry of a molecule including the bonds and lone pairs around the central atom.

Molecular geometry

The geometry of a molecule including electron groups and EXLUDING lone pairs around central atoms.

Molecular geometry and bond angle of molecule with 2 EG (electron groups) and zero lone pairs around central atom?

Linear


180°

Molecular geometry and bond angle of a moleule with 2 EGs and 1 lone pair around central atom?

Bent


120°

Molecular geometry and bond angles of molecule with 3 EGs and zero lone pairs around central atom?

Trigonal Planar


120°

Molecular geometry and bond angle of molecule with 4 E.G.s and zero lone pairs around central angal?

Tetrahedral


109.5°

Molecular geometry and angle of molecule with 3 EGs and 1 lone pair around central atom?

Trigonal Pyramidal


<109.5°

Molecular geometry and bond angle of molecule with 2 EGs and 2 lone pairs around central atom?

Bent


<109.5°

Why can VSEPR predictions of bond angles slightly deviate from the actual angles?

Because lone pairs occupy more space th and atoms

Electronegativity

Measure of how much an atom "takes/wants" shared electrons in a covalent bond

What does it mean for one atom to be more electronegative than another?

Shared electrons are more likely to be found near the more electronegative atom

How and in which directions on the periodic table does electronegativity change?

Electronegativity INCREASES from bottom up and left to right (excluding noble gases)

The most electronegative element?

Flourine

The bigger the difference in electronegativity between the 2 atoms involved in a bond...

the more polar the bond is

Dr Dong's bond polarity scale by change in elecronegativity between TWO atoms

Between 0 to .4 = Non-polar Covalent


Between .4 to 2 = Polar Covalent


Greater than 2.0 = Ionic

Net dipole

The sum of all individual dipoles in a molecule

When drawing a Lewis Structure, which atom is the central atom?

The least electronegative

How does polarity relate to solubility?

The more polar a substance, the more soluble it is

Do lone pairs count as an Electron Group?

Yes

How many electron groups is a triple bond?

One

Which elements are exceptions to the octet rule?

Hydrogen


Lithium


Aluminum


Boron

How many electrons does Boron and Aluminum need to be stable in a bond?

6 (Sextet Rule)
