1 s and 3 p orbitals 2s 2p 2px 2py 2pz |
|
Third shell contains ? |
1s orbital 3p orbital and 5d orbitals |
|
Valence electron |
Occupying the highest energy shells |
|
Core electron |
Occupying the lower energy shells |
|
Covalent bond |
Sharing of electrons between two or more atoms |
|
Bond length |
Double bonds are shorter and stronger than single bonds and triple bonds are shorter and stronger than double bonds |
|
Polar covalent bonds and ionic bonds |
Electron bonds are not always shared equally when atoms have a moderate difference in electronegativity they are considered polar covalent bonds when they have large differences in electronegativity they can be considered ionic bonds |
|
Electronegativity |
Increases on the periodic table from left to right in the same column from bottom to top |
|
Polar bonding |
Results in partial charges results from differences in electronegativity |
|
Nonpolar bonds |
Little to no difference in electronegativity of the atom |
|
Ionic bonding |
If the difference is more than two and electronegativity it becomes ionic |
|
Formal charge and oxidation state |
To determine formal charge each pair of electrons in a covalent bond is split evenly between the two atoms bonded together To determine oxidation States each pair of electrons that make up a covalent bond is assigned to the more electronegative atom |
