Name That Acid!
HCl(aq) is named this.
What is hydrochloric acid?
This atom is almost never the central atom because it only forms one bond.
What is hydrogen?
The shape of CH₄.
What is tetrahedral?
In HCl, the bond is polar. Which atom gets the partial negative charge (δ⁻)?
What is chlorine?
This element has the highest electronegativity on the periodic table.
What is fluorine?
Anions ending in –ate become this ending in an acid.
What is –ic acid?
If a Lewis structure shows carbon with five bonds, what rule is broken?
What is the octet rule?
The shape of a molecule with three bonds and one lone pair.
What is trigonal pyramidal?
This molecule is nonpolar even though it contains polar bonds: CF₄ or NH₃.
What is CF₄?
When electrons are transferred instead of shared, this type of bond forms.
What is an ionic bond?
HNO₂ is named this acid.
What is nitrous acid?
When drawing a Lewis structure, these electrons are the only ones you count and place around atoms.
What are valence electrons?
CO₂ has this molecular shape.
What is linear?
In order for a molecule to be polar the molecule must contain polar bonds and this.
What is an asymmetrical shape or uneven electron distribution?
When electrons are shared unequally, this type of bond forms.
What is a polar covalent bond?
The acid formed from the sulfate ion is this.
What is sulfuric acid?
In the correct Lewis structure of CO₂, this type of bond forms between carbon and each oxygen.
What is a double bond?
This hybridization corresponds to trigonal planar geometry.
sp²
H₂O is polar because of its bent geometry and this feature on oxygen.
What are lone pairs?
When electrons are shared equally, the bond is this type.
What is nonpolar covalent?
The acid name of HClO₄.
What is perchloric acid?
This term describes when multiple valid Lewis structures can be drawn for a molecule because electrons can be arranged in different locations without moving the atoms.
What is resonance?
A central atom with 4 domains uses this hybridization.
What is sp³?
Even if bonds are polar, molecules with perfect symmetry are usually this.
What is nonpolar?
The greater the electronegativity difference, the more this a bond becomes.
What is ionic?
