Leaching

Unit Cell Chlorine
Face-Centred Cubic
Most abundant element in Earth’s crust
Al
Electronegativity
ability of an element to attract bonding electrons
- greatest in the upper right
ionic bond: difference > 1.9
covalent bond: 0 - 1.9
Polar
0.5 - 1.9
Best Lewis Structure
minimize formal charge
Exceptions to Octet Rule
- elements >= 3rd row can hold more
- less than 8 electrons (B)
- odd electron species
Resonance Structures
- multiple plausible Lewis structures
- only move electrons
- all must be valid
- actual is a hybrid of all
VSEPR - Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
- shows molecular shape/geometry
- maximize space between electron “group” and central atom
Electron-domain geometry
- shape it is based on
Molecular geometry
- final shape
Molecular Shape and Polarity
- molecular shape can cancel dipoles
Bond order
# of bonds # bonding e - # anti-bonding e / 2
Bond energy
Energy needed to split bonds
Bond Order/Lengths/Energies
larger bond order = shorter bond length = larger bond energy
Favourable Transformation
Enthalpy is negative
Erxn = Ebreak + Eform
