Order these from strongest bond to weakest bond:
C - C, Li - O, O = O, C ≋ C
What is...
C≋C > O=O > C-C > Li-O
Define the difference between a bond dipole and a molecular dipole.
What is...
Bond: separation of charge across a bond, or between two atoms
Molecule: separation of charge across a whole molecule
Draw the Lewis Dot Structure for: H2S
...
Define hybridization.
What is...
mixing atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals for pairing electrons
What is the formal charge of N, O[1], and O[2] in NO2?
*Double Bond on O[1]
What is...

Name one atom that can have less than an octet and one that can have more.
What is...
Less = B, Be
More = S, P, Se, I, Xe
What is...
Sigma bonds are single bonds and are present in every bond. They are head-to-head overlap.
Pi bonds are double and triple bonds and are not present in every bond. They are side-to-side overlap.
Draw the dominant Lewis structure for NCO- and explain why it is the dominant structure.
What is...
Because more elements have a formal charge of 0, and oxygen has a negative charge because it is more electronegative than carbon or nitrogen.
