Chemical Bonding/compounds
The definition of covalent bonds
what is a chemical bond that shares the electron pairs between atoms.
the electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an atom.
What is valence shell
the molecular structure that has 2 bonded pairs and zero non bonded pairs
what is linear
molecular geometry
what is 3D arrangement of molecules in space.
The electrons involved in the formation of chemical bonds
what is Valence bonds
The rule that states " the atom likes to have a full outer valence shell"
What is Octet Rule
the molecular structure that has 2 bonded pairs and between 1-2 non bonded pairs
what is bent
the properties of molecules depend on
what is type of bonds
the term used to describe atoms connected by a chemical compound
what is a molecule
The number of valence electrons in Carbon (C)
what is 4 valence electrons
This form of trigonal has 1 non bonded pair
what is a trigonal pyramidal
the minimizing electron pair repulsions.
what is “repulsion between the sets of valence-level electrons surrounding an atom causes these sets to be oriented as far apart as possible”
What is electronegativity?
The relative attraction that an atom has for shared electrons in a covalent bond
the element that can newer be in the center of a lewis structure
what is hydrogen
The type of geometry that surrounds the central atom
what is a tetrahedral
the definition of VSEPR
what is the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
NH3
what is ammonia
This molecule has 3 atoms, 2 different elements, and a total of 16 valence electrons. Its Lewis structure contains two double bonds. Identify the molecule.
CO₂ — O=C=O
the type of molecular geometry that can only have 2 types of atoms but up to 3 atoms in its structure
what is linear
The steps to determine VSEPR
what is Draw Lewis structure. Put pairs as far apart as possible.Determine positions of atoms from the way electron pairs are shared. Determine the name of molecular structure from positions of the atoms
