Q

Rules for oxidation numbers

A
  • in elemental form (Cl2, O2, Na)- O.N=0
  • for monoatomic ions- O.N= ion charge
  • sum of O.N for atoms in a compound- O.N=0
  • sum of O.N for atoms in a polyatomic ion- O.N=ion charge
  • Group 1A Alkali Metal- O.N=+1
  • Group 2A Alkaline Earth Metals- O.N=+2
  • Hydrogen-O.N= +1 (w/ nonmetals)
  • Fluorine- O.N= -1
  • Oxygen- O.N= -2
  • Group 7A Halogens-O.N= -1 (except w/ more EN)

Q

valence bond theory

A
  • a covalent bond forms when the orbitals of 2 atoms overlap and a pair of electrons occupy the overlap region
  • depends on orbital shape and direction
  • the greater the overlap, the stronger the bond
