This bond results from the unequal sharing of electrons
Polar covalent bond
BF3

NONPOLAR
When more than one valid Lewis Structure may be written for a compound
Resonance
H2O
BENT. POLAR - shape is assymmetrical. IMF: H-Bond
Number of valence electrons and the common ionic charge of calcium
2 Valence electrons; +2 common ionic charge
Involves neutral nonmetal atoms
Covalent bonding
Cl3PO
POLAR
Define the OCTET Rule and reason for it
Most atoms form bonds to have 8 valence electrons - to have a full outer energy level which is a more STABLE configuration
H2CO
Trigonal planar; POLAR (symmetrical shape but all terminal atoms are NOT the same element) STRONGEST IMF: dipole-dipole
Which would be predicted to have the lowest boiling point and WHY? CH4, H2O , PH3 or NH3?
CH4.Because is has the weakest IMFs (only LDFs - nonpolar molecule).
The electronegativity difference of atoms in ionic bonds.
Greater than 1.7
NO+1

POLAR
Type of compound that can conduct electricity when liquid but not solid
Ionic Compound
CCl4
Tetrahedral. NONPOLAR - symmetrical shape AND all terminal atoms are the same element --> Dipoles cancel out. Strongest IMF: LDFs
Which has the smallest bond angle and WHY? CH4, H2O , PH3 or NH3?
All are basically tetrahedral shaped, but H2O has more lone pairs which makes bond angles smaller.
Type of compound with typically lowest melting points
Covalent
NO3-1

(and 2 more resonance structures)
NONPOLAR
The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a bond
Electronegativity
NH3
Trigonal pyramidal; Polar (assymmetrical shape) Strongest IMF: H-Bond
Which of the following form H-bonds? (list all): H2CO, CH4, H2O , PH3 or NH3?
H2O , NH3
What electrons do to form (1) metallic bonds vs. (2) ionic bonds.
Metallic: Electrons are delocalized "sea of electrons
Ionic: Electrons are transferred to/from atoms to form ions.
SF6

NONPOLAR
Smallest repeating piece of an ionic crystal
ICl5
Square pyramidal; Yes Polar (assymmetrical shape) Strongest IMF: Dipole-dipole
Number of electrons in each of the bonds of CO2
Four (both are double bonds: O=C=O)
