36
diamagnetic
CHEMICAL SPECIES w no unpaired electrons, all electrons are paired
37
paramagnetic
chemical species w unpaired electron
38
Are ionic compounds balanced
yes
39
which elements MUST exist as diatomic molecules
H, N, O, F Cl, Br, I
40
exceptions to the octet rule
incomplete octets, compounds w odd number of electrons, expanded octets
41
what is a free radical
a highly unstable atom w an unpaired valence electron
42
Formal charge equation
valence electrons - # covalent bonds - unpaired electrons
43
steps to drawing a lewis structure
1. add up valence electrons
2. frame the structure
3. fill the octets on outer atoms
4. fill octet on central atom (may have to use double/triple bonds
5. add formal charges
44
constitutional isomeres
compound shaving the same molecular formula but different bonding sequences
45
how fill dots on lewis structures
by conventionm, one on each side, then fill in pairs
46
which element goes in the center of a lewis structure
the most electronegative one
47
resonance structures
multiple valid structures for same compound
in nature, the true structure is an average of the two resonance structures
48
best resonance structure is
the one with a formal charge closest to zero
49
if formal charges are equal across multiple resonant strcutures which is the bst
the one which places the formal charge on the atom w lowest electronegativity
50
which elements can make an expanded octet
3rd row and below of pd. tbl
51
is it better to have no expanded octets or a formal charge of 0
formal charge of 0
52
what is the VSEPR method used for
determining shape
53
Most electronegative element
Flourine (F)
54
Tendancy of atoms to draw electrons to themselves in chemical bonds
electronegativity
55
Bond energy
strength required to break bond
56
how do we know bonds are between single and double in nature
bond energy is between that of a single and a double bond
57
Are longer or shorter bonds stronger
Shorter bonds are stronger, Longer bonds are weaker
58
covalent molecules with a polar end
poilar covalent molecules
59
bond where electrons are shared equally
non-polar covalent bond
60
electronegativety differnence of non-p[olar covalent bond
less that 0.4 (varies, not exact)
61
electronegativity difference of a polar covalent bond
0.4 to 2.0 (varies, not exact)
62
electronegativity difference of an ionic bond
2.0 to 3.3 (varies, not exact)
63
formal charge equation
valence electrons - nonbonding valance - covalent bonds
