Chemical bonding

Cards (20)

  • Compound
    Substance made up of 2 or more elements chemically combined
  • Compound
    • Stability
    • Full energy level
    • Valence outermost 2 filled sublevel
  • Ionic Bonding
    Chemical bonding where electrons are completely transferred from one atom onto another, forming ions
  • Covalent Bonding
    Chemical bonding where electrons are shared between atoms
  • Atoms will tend to lose, gain or share electrons in order to get a full outer shell</b>
  • Intermolecular Bonding

    Bonding between molecules, including van der Waals, dipole-dipole, and hydrogen bonding
  • Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative elements like N, O, or F
  • Crystal Lattice
    Ions arranged in a regular repeating structure
  • Electronegativity Difference
    Measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond
  • Types of Bonding

    • Pure covalent (electronegativity difference < 0.3)
    • Polar covalent (electronegativity difference 0.3-1.5)
    • Ionic (electronegativity difference > 1.5)
  • Covalent Bonds

    • Sigma orbitals overlap head-on
    • Pi orbitals overlap in parallel
  • Covalent Bond Types

    • Single
    • Double
    • Triple
  • Polar Bond
    One end slightly negative, one end slightly positive
  • VSEPR Theory
    Pairs of electrons arrange themselves as far away from each other as possible
  • Molecular Shapes

    • Linear
    • Trigonal planar
    • Tetrahedral
    • Trigonal bipyramidal
    • Octahedral
  • Ion: a charged atom or group of atoms.
  • Transition metal: one that forms at least one ion with a partially filled d sublevel.
  • Molecule: a group of atoms joined together. The smallest particle of an element or compound that can exist independently.
  • Law of conservation of mass

    States that the total mass of the products of a chemical reaction is the same as the total mass of the reactants.
  • Law of conservation of matter
    States that in any chemical reaction, matter is neither created or destroyed but merely changes from one form into another.
