What are the steps to draw Lewis dot structure?

Step 1: determine the arrangement of atoms within a molecule. The central atom is usually the one with the lowest affinity for electrons

Step 2: determine the total number of valence electrons in the molecule or ion. In a neutral molecule, this number will be the sum of the valence electrons for each atom. The number of valence electron pairs will be half to total number of valence electrons.

Step 3: place on pair of electrons between each pair of bonded atoms to form a single bond.

Step 4: use remaining pairs as lone pairs around each terminal atom (except H) so that each terminal atom is surrounded by eight electrons. If, after this is done, there are electrons left over, assign them to the central atom.

Step 5: if no valence electron pairs remain after forming single bonds and completing the octets of terminal atoms, and the central atom does not have an octet of electrons, then multiple bonds can be created by sharing one or more pairs of electrons between terminal atoms and the central atoms.

How do we draw Lewis dot structure with a multiple bond?

Problem: draw the Lewis dot structure for CO2

Step 1: designate C as the central atom

Step 2: calculate the valence electrons
C= 1 X 4= 4
O= 2 X 6= 12
total valence electron= 16

Step 3: Two electron pairs form single bonds between C and O

Step 4: distribute three lone pairs on the terminal O atoms to complete their octets.

Step 5: none of the original 8 electron pairs remain ti be used, but the C atom does not yet have an octet of electrons. Therefore, we use lone pairs of electrons on the O atoms to form additional CO bonds, one on each side of the molecule.

How do we draw Lewis dot structure for polyatomic ions?

Problem: Draw Lewis dot structure for the ClO3^- and the NO2^+

For ClO3^-
Step 1: designate C as the central atom

Step 2: calculate the valence electrons 
Cl: 1 X 7= 7
O: 3 X 6= 18 
negative charge (-1)= + 1

total valence electron= 26

Step 3: three lone pairs forms single bond between Cl and O

Step 4: distribute three lone pairs on each of O atoms to complete the octet of electrons around each of these atoms.

Step 5: one pair of electron remains, and it is placed on the central Cl atom to complete its octet.

For NO2^+
Step 1: designate N as the central atom

Step 2: calculate the valence electrons 
N: 1 X 5= 5
O: 2 X 6=12
positive charge (+1)= -1 
5+12-1= 16

total valence electron= 16

Step 3: two electron pairs form single bonds form the N to each O

Step 4: distribute the remaining six pairs of electron on the terminal O atoms.

Step 5: the central N atom is two electron pairs short of an octet. A lone pair of electrons on each oxygen atom is converted to a bonding electron pair to give 2 N=O double bond. Each atom in the ion now has 4 electrons pairs. N has 4 bonding pairs, and each O atoms has 2 lone pairs and shared 2 bond pairs

What is a pure covalent bonding?

atoms share an electron pair equally

In which condition a pure covalent bonding occurs?

A pure covalent bonding occurs only when two identical atoms are bonded.

What is a polar covalent bond?

A bond in which the two atoms have partial electrostatic charges

In which condition bonds are polar?

Bonds are polar because not all atoms hold onto their valence electrons with the same force or take on additional electron with equal ease

How the polarity is indicated for a polar covalent bond?

the polarity is indicated by writing the symbols δ^+ and δ^- alongside the atom symbol, where δ stands for a partial charge.

Who proposed a parameter called: atom electronegativity?

Linus Pauling

How the electronegativity of an atom is defined?

The electronegativity, χ, of an atom is defined as a measure of the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.

Electronegativity values for the metalloids are ________(around, less than or greater than) __#___

around 2

Electronegativity values for the non-metals are __________(around, less than or greater than) __#___

greater than 2

estimating bond polarity For each of the following bond pairs, decide which bond is more polar and indicate the negative and positive poles. a) B--F and B--Cl b) Si--O and P--P Exercice 8.12: Chemistry and chemical reactivity book 9th edition p.316

a) B and F lie relatively far apart in the periodic table. B is a metalloid, and F is a nonmetal. Here, X for B=2.0, and X for F= 4.0. Similarly, B and Cl are relatively far apart in the periodic table, but Cl is below F in the periodic table (X for Cl= 3.2) and is therefore less electronegative than F. The difference in electronegativity for B--F is 2.0, and for B--Cl is 1.2. Both B--F and B--Cl bonds are expected to be polar, with B positive and the halide atom negative, but a B--F bond is more polar than a B--Cl bond. b) The P--P bond is nonpolar because the bond is between two atoms of the same kind. In the case of Si--O, the O atom has a greater electronegativity (3.5) than Si (1.9), and the bond is highly polar (deltaX=1.6), with O the more negative atom.

What is the geometry of an H3O atom ?

tetrahedral to see the shape: http://chemistry.elmhurst.edu/vchembook/images/205hydronium.gif

How is called the way electrons are distributed in a molecule or ion?

is called its charge distribution.

What is electroneutrality?

electrons will be distributed in such a way that the charges on all atoms are as close to zero as possible

In the concept of electroneutrality, if a negative charge is present where the negative charge should reside?

it should reside on the most electronegative atoms.

In the concept of electroneutrality, if a positive charge is present where the positive charge should reside?

positive charges are expected on the least electronegative atoms.

Calculating and using formal charges Boron-containing compounds often have a boron atom with only three bonds (and no lone paire). Why not form a double bond with a terminal atom to complete the boron octet? To answer this, consider possible resonance structure of BF3, and calculate the formal charges of the B and F atoms. Are the bonds polar in BF3? If so, which is the more negative atom? Exercice 8.13: Chemistry and chemical reactivity book 9th edition p.316

The 2 possible structures for BF3 are illustrated here. http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/@api/deki/files/43167/IMG00019.GIF?revision=1 Calculate the formal charges F= 7-(6+ (1/2X2))= 0 B= 3-(0+(1/2X6))=0 http://media1.shmoop.com/images/chemistry/chembook_bonds_graphik_7c.png Calculate the formal charges F=7-(4+(1/2X4))= +1 B= 3-(0+(1/2X8))= -1 The first structure is strongly preferred because all atoms have a zero formal charge.

What describes the term polar?

The term “polar” described a bond in which one atom has a partial positive charge and the other a partial negative charge.

How do we predict if a molecule is polar?

To predict if a molecule is polar, we need to consider how the atoms are positioned relative to one another.

Does diatomic molecules composed of two atoms with different electronegativities are polar?

Diatomic molecules composed of two atoms with different electronegativities are always polar there is one bond, and the molecule has a positive and a negative end.

Does water molecule is polar?

Because O has a larger electronegativity (χ=3.5) than H (χ=2.2), each of the O—H bonds is polar, with the H atoms having the same δ^+charge and oxygen having a negative charge (δ^-).

How can you predict that a molecule will not be polar?

You can predict that a molecule will not be polar if - all the terminal atoms are identical - all the terminal atoms are arranged symmetrically around the central atom. except: trigonal-bipyramidal electron-pair geometry

What is the order of a bond?

the order of a bond is the number of bonding electron pairs shared by two atoms in a molecule.

When a fractional bond orders will occur?

Fractional bond orders occur in molecules and ions having resonance structures

How can we calculate the bond order?

bond order=(number of shared pairs in all X—Y bonds) / (number of X—Y links in the molecule or ion)

What is the definition of bond length?

Bond length is the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms, is clearly related to the sized of the atoms, for a given pair of atoms, the order of the bond plays a role.

What is the definition of bond dissociation enthalpy?

Bond dissociation enthalpy is the enthalpy change for breaking a bond in a molecule with the reactant and products in the gas phase.

The process of breaking bonds in a molecule is exothermic or endothermic?

always endothermic

Suppose you wish to break the carbon-carbon bonds in ethane (H3C-CH3), ethylene (H2C=CH2), and acetylene (HC≡CH). Which bond will requires the most energy to break it?

The carbon-carbon bond orders in these molecules are 1,2, and 3, respectively, and these bond orders are reflected in the bond dissociation enthalpies. Breaking the single C—C bond in ethane requires the least energy in this group, whereas breaking the C—C triple bond in acetylene requires the most energy.

Does the formation of bonds from atoms in the gas phase is endothermic or exothermic?

The formation of bonds from atoms or radicals in the gas phase is always exothermic
