The bond angle between bonding domains decreases as he number of lone pairs ______.
Increases
The lone pairs reside closer to the central atom and push the adjacent bonds ______ ______.
Closer together
In a trigonal biopyramidal the lone pairs prefer the ____ position to the axial position.
Equatorial
This is the property of a molecule whose charge distribution can be represented by a center of positive charge and a center of negative.
Dipole moment
A dipole moment is represented by an arrow also known as a ____.
Vector
A vector points to the negative charge center with the tail of the arrow indicating the ____ center of the charge.
Positive
Dipole moment points toward the more ______ atom.
Electronegative
Covalent bonds are described using the atomic orbitals of valence electrons. Atoms share electrons when an atomic orbital on one atom overlaps with an atomic orbital on the other. Each overlapping atomic orbital
Must contain a single unpaired electron and have opposite spin.
