Chem bonding Flashcards
(70 cards)
what are the four types of interactions bond and their structures
Metallic, Covalent, and Ionic
Giant Metallic, Giant molecular and Simple Molecular, Giant ionic
What is a metallic bond and what determines its strength
electrostatic force of attraction between a lattice of cations and sea of delocalised electrons
No. of valence electrons available for delocalisation per atom / size of metal cation
What is a ionic bond and what is lattice energy
electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely-charged ions
lattice energy: energy released when one mole of solid ionic compound is formed from a its constituent gaseous ions
What is a covalent bond
electrostatic force of attraction between shared pair of electrons and positively charged nuclei of two atoms
what is a sigma and pi bond
sigma: a head on overlap of orbitals with one overlapping region
pi: a side-on overlap of orbitals with two overlapping regions
What is a Coordinate bond
Electrostatic forces of attraction between shared pair of electrons and nuclei of donor and acceptor atoms
what is a donor atom and acceptor atom
electron rich: has a pair of non-bonding valence electrons (lone pair) available to form dative bond
electron- deficient: has a vacant low-lying orbital to accept the pair of electrons from donor atim
Types of coordinate bond
Cation, Adduct, Dimer, Complex ion
What is electronegativity
ability of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself
what happens when one atom is more electronegative
The EFOA between the more electronegative atom and shared pair of electron will be stronger, resulting in a permanent dipole to form
How is the strength of covalent bond indicated
Bond Dissociation Energy:
B.D.E is the energy required to break one mole of a particular covalent bond in a specific molecule in gaseous state to form gaseous atoms
Factors affecting strength of covalent bond
Bond order, Effectiveness of bond overlap (a covalent bond between two large atoms involves overlap of valence orbitals which are more diffused hence less effective ), bond length, bond polarity
Exceptions of octet rule and explanations
Electron deficient central atom, Ability to expand octet structure (in period 3 and above due to availability of low-lying vacant d orbital to accommodate electron for bonding)
unpaired electrons
two principles of vsepr theory
1) electron pairs are arranged around the central atom in a molecule as far apart as possible to minimise repulsion between them
2) lone pair-lone pair repulsion > lone pair - bond pair repulsion > bond-pair bond-pair repulsion
What causes bond angle
Lone pairs are closer to central atom, repulsion between lone pairs of electrons will be stronger than between bond pairs, Difference in repulsion will influence the angle between bonds of molecule)
