metals ____ electrons
|
LOSE and become POSITIVELY CHARGED IONS, atoms then get smaller
|
|
non-metals _____ electrons
|
GAIN and become NEGATIVELY CHARGED IONS, atoms then get bigger
|
|
isoelectronic
|
two ore more atoms (or ions) that have the same electronic configuration
|
|
crystal lattice structure
|
the arrangement of positive and negative ions in an iconic compound
|
|
properties of iconic compounds
|
strong bonds which mean high boiling and melting points
|
|
electronegativity
|
the tendency to attract electrons in a chemical bond (found on table s)
high electronegativity-attracts & holds on to electrons low electronegativity-tends to give electrons away |
|
1.7 rule
|
if the electronegativity is 1.7 or higher, it is an ionic bond
if the electronegativity is 1.6 or lower, it is a covalent bond |
|
how to know if a compound is ionic or covalent:
|
for binary compounds: subtract the electronegativities of each element and follow the 1.7 rule
for ternary compounds: if the compound contains a polyatomic ion, it is IONIC....if the compound does not, it is COVALENT |
|
what is the VESPR theory
|
un-bonded electrons repel bonded electrons so that the geometry of a molecule will change to one in which both are bonded and unbounded electrons spread out as far away as possible
|
|
SNAP
|
s- symmetrical
n-non polar a-asymmetrical p-polar |
|
network substances
|
think of diamonds-
strong, repeating covalent bonds high boiling & melting points insoluble in water |
|
bond breaking is ___thermic
|
ENDO, which means energy is absorbed
|
|
bond formation is ___thermic
|
EXO, which means energy is released
|
|
van der waals law
|
the larger the molecule, the greater the Van Der Waals forces and the higher the boiling point
|
|
strength of attractive forces
|
hydrogen bonding > dipole-dipole > van der waals
|
|
what kind of energy is stored in a chemical bond?
|
potential energy
