Cards

Term

 

How to determine lone pair?

Definition
Paper- Table= charge
Term

Characteristics of

Nucleus

Electron

Definition

Nucleus- lg mass, sml vol

e- - smal mass, lg vol

(proton most heavy--> greatest mass)

Term

Hund's rule

 

Definition
fill parallel before filling one
Term
Pauli exclusion
Definition
opposite spins per 2 e-
Term
Aufbau principle
Definition
fill bottom up
Term
How do you determine the # bonds possibly in a molecule?
Definition

count valence (e-'s ) and find closest full octet

or

( 8  -   e-'s in valence shell(G#)= # bonds possible)

Term

why doe molecules bond?

 

Definition
bonding increases stability of molecule due to lower E state
Term

sp3- characterics

shape

angle

 

Definition

4 bonds to central atom

tetrahedral- 109.3

Term

sp2- characteristic

shape

angle

Definition

has double bond

trigonal planar

120 degrees

Term

sp

characteristic

geometry

angle

Definition

has tripple bond

linear

180

Term
how to easily determine structure hybridization, geometry, angle
Definition

count number of bound atoms

4- sp3

3-sp2

1- sp

Term

 

***(Asking)**3 molecules who are exceptions which eventhough has lone pairs, are considered sp3?

Definition
NOPES
Term

 

3 bonds and 1 lone pair is what geometry?

Definition
pyramidal , no tetra b/c lone pairs pushingbonds closer, decreasing angle
Term

Bent geometry

 

Definition
2 bonds + 2 LP
Term
Why can we not have He2  in MO theory?
Definition
b/c MO structure states we would have to pur e- in sigma*, which incrase energy of the molecule--> destabalizing
Term
any e- in the anti* bond will cause a increase in e- --> increasing sinstability
Definition

Term
what does the term outer shell of Nitrogen refer to?
Definition

it means how many electrons are available to bond or be a LP

ie tripple bonded N -C, Nhas 8 e-

- 6 bonding 2- nonbonding

Term
how to calculate bond angle of planar
Definition

360 / number of sides from H to bond adjacent to

120- planar

Term

what geometry is benzene

 

Definition
planar- each side of benzene is a planar
Term
What is a covalent bond
Definition

A covalent bond is a bond between two non-metallic elements. This means that they share electrons inside the molecules. OR A type of chemical bond in which there is mutual sharing of electrons between two atoms is called covalent bond. It is furthur classified into single, double, and triple covalent bond



Term
Define ionic bond (example)
Definition

In an ionic bond, the atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely-charged ions. For example, sodium and chloride form an ionic bond, to make

 

NaCl

Term
a pi bonding occurs when
Definition
2 overlapping pi orbitals with the same sign interact
Term
a anti pi bonding occurs when
Definition
2 overlapping sideways pi bonds with different signs interact
Term
looking at a molecular formula- if asked how valence electrons does somthing have then...
Definition
valence electrons will be 2 per bond and 2 e- LP
Term
3 bonds and 1 lp
Definition
tetrahedral i think also called trigonal pyramidal
