Terms Definitions
120 and 90 degree of trigonal bipyramidal
as you move down a family the electron affinity decreases
metallic bond differences alkali < transition
bond length the average distance between the nuclei held together by the bond
Azimuthal (secondary) Quantum number the value of l determines orbital shape. The value of n places limits on l, its max value is (n-1).
non-polar bond the electron density at both ends of the bond is the same because the electrons are equally attracted to both nuclei. No lone pairs, ligands are =.
0-0.2 values of non-polar electronegativity
intramolecular bonds forces between bonded atoms in a molecule or complex ion - Ionic bonds
Ionic Bond the attraction between + and - ions in an ionic compound
As you move across a period the atomic radius decreases
Principal Quantum Number a positive whole # specifiying energy level of an atomic orbital and its relative size.
Intermolecular bonds forces between two non-bonded atoms or molecules - hydrogen bonds, d-d bonds, VDW
180 degree of linear shape
104.5 degree of angular
Atomic Radius the distance from the nucleus to the outermost energy level
angular sp3 two lone pairs
120 degree of trigonal planar shape
Spin Quantum Number only two possible values, +1/2 or -1/2.
Magnetic Quantum number integer with values ranging from -l to +1. l=0 then m= -1,0,1
trigonal pyramidal sp3 one lone pair
octahedral sp3d2 non-polar
hydrogen bonds stronger than d-d or VDW but less than 1/10th the strength of intramolecular bonds, strongest when aligned in a straight line
As you move down a family the Ionization Energy decreases
coordinate covalent bond when one atom supplies both of the electrons that are shared in a covalent bond
Lattice energy amount of energy required per mole to separate the ions from their lattice positions
tetrahedral sp3 non-polar
Electron Affinity tendency of an atom to attract an electron
Resonance when the bonding in some molecules and ions cannot be adequately described by a single LEDD
Hund's Rule the lowest energy state for an atom has the max # of unpaired electrons allowed by the Pauli Exclusion principle in a given energy sublevel.
trigonal bipyramidal sp3d non-polar
0.2-1.7 values of polar electronegativity
ionic differences radius -- F= Kq1q2/r2
single/double/triple bond a covalent bond in which 1/2/3 pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms
square planar sp3d2 two lone pairs
trigonal planar sp2 3 bonding
Ionic compounds form when elements with low ionization energies react with elements with high electron affinities
Quantum mechanical model of the atom describes atoms as having certain allowed quantities of energy because of the wave-like properties of their electrons.
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory VSEPR stands for...
Ionic radius Distance from the center of an ion's nucleus to its outermost electron
angular sp2 one lone pair
Ionization Energy the amount of energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from a neutral gaseous atom
as you move across a period the electron affinity increases
Non-polar differences Van Der Waals
seesaw sp3d one lone pair
Polar Bond the effect of unequal attractions for the bonding electrons is an unbalanced distribution of electron density within the bond
Dipole-Dipole bonds force of attraction exerted by the molecular dipoles (polar molecules) for one another.the larger the dipole moment (greater difference in E.N) the greater the d-d attractive forces b/w molecules
>1.7 values of ionic negativity
Pauli Exclusion Principle only two electrons of opposite spin can occupy an orbital
VSEPR Theory based on the idea that valence shell electron pairs, negatively charged, stay as far apart from each other as possible, so that the repulsions between them are at a minimum
Polar differences d-d, hydrogen bonds
As you move across a period the Ionization Energy increases
covalent bond a chemical bond in which electrons are shared between two atoms
linear sp3d three lone pairs
As you move down a family the atomic radius increases
exothermic releases energy
109.5 degree of tetrahedral shape
linear sp2 2 bonding
square pyramidal sp3d2 one lone pair
Van Der Waals instantaneous forces of attraction between fluctuating dipoles in non-polar molecules
t-shaped sp3d two lone pairs
endothermic requires energy
bond energy the amount of energy released when the bond is formed (or amount of energy needed to break the bond)
hybridization the mixing of two or more pure atomic orbitals to form to or more hybrid atomic orbitals that are identical
