What accurately define shape and size of a molecules?
Bond angles and bond lengths
What is a bonding pair?
defines a region in which the electrons will most likely be fond
What is a nonbonding pair?
lone pair, defines an electron domain which is located principally on one atom
What produces an electron domain?
each nonbonding pair, single bond, or multiple bond
Whta produces the best arrangement for a given number of electrons?
the one that minimizes repulsions among thems
When and why do bond angles decrease?
they decrease when the number of nonbondinf electrons pairs increase because a bonding pair is attracted by both nuclei of the bonded atoms, but the nonbonding pair experiences less nucelar attraction so it its electron domain spreads out more
What is the the relationship between nonbonding electron domains and bonding angles?
electron domains for nonbonding electron pairs exert greater repulsive forces on adjacent electron domains and thus tend to compress bond angles
Who exerts a greater repulsive for on adjacent electron domains?
In general multiple bonds, but there are exceptions like NO3-
What is bond polarity?
a measure of how equally the electrons in a bon d are shared between the two atoms of the bond
when will bond polarity increase?
when the difference in electronegativity increase
What is a dipole moment?
measure of the amount of charge seperation in the molecule, depends on both the polartities of individual bonds and the geometry of the molecule
what is a bond dipole?
the dipole moment that is due only to the two atos in that bond

the process of mixing atomic orbitals as atoms approach eash other to form bonds
What is bond order? What does a bond order of 1,2 or 3 represent?

What are dipole-dipole forces?
neutral polar molecules attract each other when the positive end of one molecules is near the negative end of another
What are london dispersion forces?
electrons repel one another so the motions of electrons on one atom influence the motions of electrons on its neighbor, thus the temporary dipole on one atom can induce a similar temproary dipole on an adjaccent atom causing the atoms to be attracted to each other. (the wave)
What is hydrogen bonding?
a special type of intermolecular attraction between the hydrpgen atom in a polaar bond (H-F, H-N, H-O) and an unshared electron pair on a nearby small electronegative ion or atom
Why is ice less dense than water?
molecules assume an ordered open arrangment which optimizes the hydrogen bonding interactions between molecules, so they create open cavitities
What is vicosity?
the resistance of a liquid to flow
How does one determine what intermolecular forces are at work?
*ions are involved, if both polar molcules and ions are present its ion-dipole forces, if not it is ionic
If no ions, but polar and hydrogenn its hydrogen bonds,
If no ions, polar, and no hydrogen bonds, then dipole dipole
If no ions, nonpolar its london
What is surface tension?
energy required to increase the surace area of liquid by a unit amoint
What does volatile mean?
A liquid will evaporate reasily
What is a crystalline solid?
things are ordered in well defined arangments
What is an amorpous solid?
particles habe orderly strucutre ie rubber and lass
What is a crystal lattice?
a three dimensional array of points that represents a crystalline solid
What are the fractions occupied by a unit cell in various positions?
center-1
face-1/2
edge-/14
corner 1/8
What are donor atoms?
the atom of the ligand boudn directly to the metal
What are monodentate ligands?
possess a single donor atom and are able to occupy only one site in a coordination sphere
What are polydentate ligands?
occupy multiple coordination sites also known as chelating agents
In naming salt which is given first?
the name of the action is given before the name of the anion
When is the metal named?
Within a cmplex ion or molecule the ligands are named before the metal, ligands are listed in alphabetical order regardless of charge, prefixes that give the number of ligands are not considered part of the ligand naming in considering order
How are the ligands named?
the names of anionic ligands end in the letter o whereas neutral ones ordinarily bear the name of the molecules
Azide (N3-)
Azido
Bromide (Br-)
bromo
chloride (Cl-)
chloro
Cyanide (CN-)
cyano
Fluoride (F-)
fluoro
Hydroxide (OH-)
hydroxo
Carbonate (CO3 2-)

carbonyl
Pyridine (C5H5N)
Pyridine
Water
aqua
What indicated number?
Greek prefixes (di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa)
If it already has prefixes you use (bis, tris, tetrakis, pentakis, and hexakis) and put the substance in paranthesis
How is the complex named if it is an anion?
in -ate
Where is the oxidation number given?
given in parenthesis in roman numerals following the the name of the meatal
What are isomers?
same formula different properties, different arrangment of atoms
What are structural isomers?
have different bonds

If there are no lone pairs on central atoms how will the shapes align?
so that atoms are as far apart as possible
How is the lone pair drawn in?
