valence electrons
|
electrons in the highest occupies energy level of an elements atom
|
|
electrons involved in chemical reactions are
|
valence electrons
|
|
Ionic bond is made of a
|
-a metal and a non-metal
|
|
ionic bonds are caused by
|
the transfer of electrons
|
|
characteristics of ionic bonds
|
-high boil and melting point
-can conduct electricity when disolved or molten -usually crystalline solid |
|
characteristics of metalic bonds
|
-they have free floating electrons
-good conductors -malleable |
|
metals are made of
|
closely packed cations that are surrounded by mobile valence electorns
|
|
alloy
|
mixture composed of 2 or more elements- one is a metal
|
|
single covalent bond
|
one pair of electrons are shared
|
|
covalent bond is
|
shared electrons b/t nonmetals
|
|
double and triple convalent bonds
|
two/three shared pairs of electrons
|
|
coordinate covalent bonds
|
happens when the more electronegative atom donates electrons b/c it makes the compound more stable
|
|
diamagnetic
|
substance that is weakly repelled by a magnetic force
|
|
paramagnetic
|
substance that is strongly attracted to a magnetic field; these substances have molecules containing one or more unpaired electrons
|
|
convalent bond
|
-non-metals
-sharing electrons |
|
diatomic molecules are the only ones that
|
have equal sharing of electrons
|
|
all bonds have
|
ionic and covalent properties
|
|
molecular orbitals
|
atomic orbitlas overlap when 2 atoms combine
|
|
bonding orbitals
|
molecular orbitals whose energy is lower than that of the atomic orbital from which it was formed
|
|
sigma bond
|
a bond that is symmetrical along the axis connecting the 2 atomical nucli
|
|
pi bonds
|
bonding electrons are found in sausage shaped regions above and below the nucli of the bonded atoms
|
|
VSEPR Theory
|
valence shell electron repulsion theory
-electrons paris repel bonded pairs -molecules adjust their shapes so that valence electron pairs are as far apart as possible |
