energy needed to separate an ionic lattice into gaseous ions
lattice energy
thermochemical cycle in which we use Hess’s law to calculate the lattice energy as the sum of several steps in the formation of ionic compound
Born-Haber cycle
describes the bonding in molecules
resonance structures
The three-dimensional shapes and sizes of molecules are determined by their
bond angles
rationalizes molecular geometries based on the repulsions between electron domains
valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model
are regions about a central atom in which electrons are likely to be found
electron domains
are those involved in making bonds
bonding pairs
create electron domains around an atom
nonboding pairs/lone pairs
the arrangement of electron domains around a central atom
electron-domain geometry
arrangement of atoms
molecular geometry
the dipole moment of polyatomic molecule depends on the vector sum of the dipole moments associated with the individual bonds called the
bond dipoles
covalent bonds are formed when atomic orbitals on neighboring atoms overlap one another
Valence-bond theory
hybrid atomic orbitals that have a large lobe directed to overlap with orbitals on another atom to make a bond
hybridization
covalent bonds in which the elctron density lies along the line connecting the atoms
sigma bonds
formed from the sideways overlap of p orbitals
pi bond
pi bonds are spread among several atoms
delocalized
model used to describe the bonding in molecules
molecular orbital theory
the electrons exist in allowed energy states called
molecular orbitals (MOs)
The lower-energy MO concentrates charge density in the region between the nuclei
bonding molecular orbital
The higher-energy MO excludes electrons from the region between the nuclei
antibonding molecular orbital
The bonding and antibodning MOs formed by the combo of s orbitals
sigma molecular orbitals
the combo of atomic orbitals and the relative energies of the molecular orbitals are show by an
energy-level diagram
half the difference between the number of electrons in bonding MOs and the number of electrons in antibonding Mos
bond order
occur as a pair of degenerate (same energy) bonding MOs and a pair of degenerate antiboding MOs
pi molecular orbitals
