What is the molecular geometry of covalent molecules is based on

A

Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory

VSEPR

17
Q

What results in the specific molecular shape and bond angles

A

Electron pairs arrange themselves to be as far as possible

18
Q

Difference between unshared electrons and shared pairs space

24
Q

When is it polar

A

When no symmetrical (lone pairs or different atoms)

Or uneven sharing of electron pairs due to large difference in electronegativity between two atoms in the bond

25
IMF stands for
Intermolecular forces | Attractive forces between two molecules of the same compound
26
What does polarity depend on
Attraction
27
Which is stronger, polarity or chemical bonds
Chemical bonds
28
What IMF force do all molecules have
London dispersion
29
List weakest to strongest of imf forces
``` Weakest-London dispersion Dipole dipole Hydrogen bonding (Fstrongest) ```
30
London dispersion force
Attraction between two instantaneous dipoles Asymmetrical electron distribution All atoms
31
London dispersion diagram
Two separate oval molecules
32
For London dispersion how to tell a tie
Higher molar mass is a stronger IMF
33
Dipole dipole definition
Attraction between two permanent dipoles | Polar
34
Diagram for dipole dipole
Hydrogen bonded to carbon
35
How to tell a tie from dipole dipole
Greater difference in electronegativity means stronger IMF
36
Hydrogen bonding definition
Attraction between H-FON Polar very strong Not Chem bond
37
How to break a tie for Hydrogen bond
Increase in lone pairs in crease in IMF | FON order, F strongest IMF
38
IMF with phase change | Weaker when
Boiling point is lower Melting point lower Evaporation faster
39
IMF with phase change is stronger when
Boiling point higher Melting point high Evaporation slower
