bond |
a force that holds 2 atoms together in a molecule |
|
bond energy |
energy required to break a bond |
|
why do bonds occur |
elements bond in order to complete their valence electron shell |
|
ionic bonds |
a metal and a non metal transfer and electron due to the attraction of a positive an negative e- |
|
covalent bonds |
equal sharing of an electron DIATOMIC molecules |
|
polar covalent bonds |
unequal sharing of e- 2 non metals |
|
electro negativity |
the ability of an element to compete for electrons w/the element its bonded to |
|
what side of the periodic table does electro negativity increase on |
the upper right |
|
dipole moment |
shows the separation of charges in a molecule |
|
lewis structures |
show the arrangement of valence e- in a compound and bonds between atoms and non bondin valence e-'s (lone pairs) |
|
Lewis structure exceptions: |
hydrogen only needs 2 e- to complete outer shell |
|
Lewis structure exceptions: |
boron, 3 valence electrons only, 6 after bonding |
|
Lewis structure exceptions: |
carbon can have multiple bonds |
|
what is resonance |
when more than one correct Lewis structure can be drawn from a molecule |
|
VSPER is a acronym for |
Valence, shell, electron, pair, Repultion |
|
VSPER theory is used for |
predicting the 3-d shape of molecules that accounts for the compounds physical properties |
