a. What does the 3 tell us? b. What does the d tell us? c. What does the 4 tell us? |
a. average distance from the nucleus of the atom
b. shape (distribution) c. number of electrons in orbital |
|
What is the real difference between the way that ionic and covalent bonds form?
|
covalent- shares the electrons
ionic- one atom takes the electon while the other atom gives it up, creating a positive and negative attraction |
|
What shape does PH3 have? Draw its Lewis dot structure.
|
trigonal planar;
H | H - P - H .. |
|
What shape does OF2 have? Draw its Lewis dot structure.
|
bent;
.. .. .. :F - O - F: .. .. .. |
|
What shape does HClO3 have? Draw its Lewis dot structure.
|
tetrahedral;
.. :O: .. | .. :O - Cl - O: .. | .. H |
|
What shape does CO2 have? Draw its Lewis dot structure.
|
linear;
:O = C = O: .. .. |
|
Why do electrons have lower potential energy when they are further apart from one another?
|
there's less of a chance that they will bond together
|
|
What is the difference between a polar bond and a polar molecule? How do you decide if a bond is polar? How do you decide is a molecule is polar?
|
Polar bonds deal only with electronegativity; a polar molecule must have polar bonds and be asymmetrical; if the 2 molecules have electronegativities with a difference of either >.2 or <2; must have polar bonds and be asymmetrical
|
|
Why must all diatomic molecules be linear?
|
because they must bond with only one another and they share the bonds
|
|
Describe the geometry of the molecules which have the following shapes and give their bond angles:
a. linear b. bent c. v-shaped d. tetrahedral e. trigonal pyramidal f. trigonal planar |
a. all diatomic molecules or if a CA has 2 molecules around it with 0 unshared pairs; 180
b. CA has 2 atoms and 2 unshared pairs; 105 c. CA has 2 atoms and 1 unshared pair; 120 d. CA has 4 atoms and 0 unshared pairs; 109.5 e. CA has 3 atoms and 1 unshared pair; 109.5 f. CA has 3 atoms and 0 unshared pairs; 120 |
|
What does it mean when energy is reported with a positive sign? With a negative sign? (+ delta H or - delta H)
|
+ means endothermic
- means exothermic |
|
PICTURE
|
a. energy
b. reaction process c. reactants d. Ea(R) e. delta H f. products g. catalyst added h. Ea(L) |
|
What is the rate law?
|
Rate = k[A]^n
A is the reactants |
|
Consider the following rate law: Rate = k[A]^n[B]^m. How are the exponents n and m determined?
|
by experiment
|
|
On a molecular level, why does temperature affect the rate of a reaction? Why does concentration?
|
when the temperature rises the molecules move faster so there is a greater chance that the reaction will occur; when the concentration is higher there are more molecules so there is a greater chance that the reaction will occur
