100

This bond results from the unequal sharing of electrons

Polar covalent bond

100

BF3



NONPOLAR

100

When more than one valid Lewis Structure may be written for a compound

Resonance

100

H2O

BENT.  POLAR - shape is assymmetrical.   IMF:  H-Bond


100

Number of valence electrons and the common ionic charge of calcium

2 Valence electrons;  +2 common ionic charge

200

Involves neutral nonmetal atoms

Covalent bonding

200

Cl3PO

POLAR

200

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

200

H2CO

Trigonal planar; POLAR (symmetrical shape but all terminal atoms are NOT the same element)   STRONGEST IMF:  dipole-dipole

200

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).  

300

The electronegativity difference of atoms in ionic bonds.

Greater than 1.7

300

NO+1


POLAR

300

Type of compound that can conduct electricity when liquid but not solid

Ionic Compound

300

CCl4

Tetrahedral.    NONPOLAR - symmetrical shape AND all terminal atoms are the same element --> Dipoles cancel out.  Strongest IMF:  LDFs

300

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.

400

Type of compound with typically lowest melting points

Covalent

400

NO3-1

 (and 2 more resonance structures)

NONPOLAR

400

The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a bond

Electronegativity

400

NH3

Trigonal pyramidal; Polar (assymmetrical shape)   Strongest IMF:  H-Bond

400

Which of the following form H-bonds? (list all): H2CO,  CH4, H2O , PH3   or NH3?

H2O ,  NH3

500

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.

500

SF6

NONPOLAR

500

Smallest repeating piece of an ionic crystal

Unit Cell
500

 ICl5

Square pyramidal; Yes Polar (assymmetrical shape)  Strongest IMF:  Dipole-dipole

500

Number of electrons in each of the bonds of CO2

Four (both are double bonds:  O=C=O)
