the number of electrons shown is equal to the number of valence electrons
Conditions that every Lewis diagram must meet
The total number of valence electrons is conserved
The octet rule is satisfied
H needs only 1
Be needs only 2
B needs only 3
What does VSEPR stand for
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
Types of VSEPR shapes
Linear
Bent
Trigonal planar
Trigonal pyramidal
tetrahedral
If you melt, boil, or dissolve a molecule, you still have a collection of free moving molecules, not individual atoms
If you melt, boil, or dissolve an ionic compound, you have a collection of free movingions
Non polar molecules electron clouds are symmetric
Because London dispersion forces are dependent on the number of electrons, molecules with a larger mass (more electrons) have a larger amount of London dispersion
More London Dispersion Forces = more attraction between molecules
More attraction between molecules = higher boiling and melting point
Hydrogen bonds only exists between molecules where an H is directly attached to an O, F, or N
Intermolecular forces exist between molecules
Covalent bonds are inside / within the molecule
I.e., intramolecular
This is the structure of an ionic compound
Crystal lattice
This means two liquids will mix together
miscible
A type of bond that is characterized by sharing
covalent
non bonding pair of electrons
lone pair
this type of force affects solubility and boiling points
intermolecular
The shape of sulfur dioxide and water
bent
the theory that predicts a shape of a molecule
VSEPR
The shape of ammonia
Trigonal pyramidal
Tells you whether or not the electron density is uniformly distributed in a bond or molecule
polarity
the shape of a carbonate ion
trigonal planar
the shape of the ammonium ion
Tetrahedral
a measure of how strongly nucleus attracts a pair of electrons
electronegativity
it means the outer most
valence
type of electrostatic bond between two oppositely charged ions
