electron structure and shapes of molecules Flashcards
shells
split into 4 Subshells
s
1 orbital can hold 2 electrons
p
3 orbitals can gold 6 electrons
d
5 orbitals can hold 6 electrons
f
7 orbitals hold 14 electrons

3s 3p 3d 18 electrons
higher shell no
the further it is from the nucleus
has a higher energy
orbital shapes S
1 ORBITAL
holds 2 electrons
spherical
2 electrons can move anywhere in this sphere
P orbital
3 orbitals can hold 6 electrons
dumbbell
when 2 electrons occupy 1 orbital they spin in opposite directions
ionic bonding
ionic compounds are oppositely charged ions held together by electrostatic attractions
most ionic compounds dissolve in water
polar molecules they attract positive and negative ions and break up the structure
conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in solution as ions are free to move
hmp as strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions
covalent bonding
sharing of outer electrons in order for atoms to obtain full shell
electrostatic attraction between shared electrons and positive nucleus
dative covalent
1 atom donates two electrons 2 atom or ion 2 form a bond
