2.1-2.3 Flashcards
electronegativity
an atom’s ability to attract another atom’s electrons
electronegativity trend
increases up (smaller distance to the nucleus) and to the right (smaller radius, more protons)
Coulomb’s law
force = k (charges/radius)
attractive force between two particles increases with ______ and decreases with ______.
an increase in charge, an increase in the distance
the most electronegative element is…
F, fluorine ~ small radius, small shielding
covalent bond
between two nonmetals
types of covalent bonds
polar and nonpolar
ionic bond
between metals and non metals (or polyatomic ions), between cations and anions
nonpolar meaning and number
equal share of electrons, less than 0.5
polar meaning and number
unequal share of electrons, between 0.5 and 1.7
ionic meaning and number
transferred electrons, greater than 1.7
the attraction between positive and negative ions is…
a coulombic or electrostatic attraction
metallic bonding
between two metal ions (pure or alloys)
alloy
a mixture of two or more atoms, at least one of which is a metal
metallic bonds are described as
cations in a sea of valence electrons
IMFs are stronger when…
there are smaller metallic cations and when there are more valence electrons
metallic character increases…
diagonally down
covalent bonds can be…
triple, single or double
the more bonds…
the more energy needed to break the bonds,
the lesser the distance between atoms
covalent bonds occur at…
the lowest energy state, when the attraction between the nuclei is the greatest for the shared electrons, and the repulsions between electrons and between the nuclei is the least, sweet spot at the bottom of the graph
if atoms are too close together the nuclei will…
repel each other, top of graph
if atoms are too far apart the attraction…
will not be enough to hold them together, far end of graph in middle
bond enthalpy
the energy needed to break a bond (absorbed) or form a bond (released)
as radius increases so does
bond length
the longer the bond length
the lower the bond energy
lattice energy
energy needed to separate ions in ionic compounds, combining ions will release energy, represented w/ coulombs law
particle diagrams
include clear key with size and element name, include relative size, surround with opposites
properties of ionic compounds
form crystals, nonvolatile (slow to vaporize), soluble in polar solvents, high melting and boiling points, hard, brittle, conduct electricity when melted, good insulators when solid, strong
high ion charges
stronger bond
