What is H_2(O)?
Increases to the left and down on the period table
What is Atomic Radius?
Sharing electrons between atoms
What is Covalent bonding?
What are Valence electrons?
1s^1
What is Hydrogen?
What is NH^4+
Increases to the right and up towards Fluorine
What is Electron Affinity? (or Ionization Energy)
There is an exchange of electrons (e^-1 are stolen)
What is Ionic Bonding?
Charged, covalently bonded groups of atoms; ions that contain covalent bonds
What is a polyatomic ion?
(1s^2)(2s^2)(2p^6)(3s^2)(3p^1)
[Ne](3s^2)(3p^1)
What is Aluminum?
What is BH_3?
Examples are Br_2 and N_2
What is purely covalent?
Examples are NaCl and MgCl_2
What is Ionic bonds?
Examples are NH(CH3)^3+, NH4^+, H3O^+, PH4^+
What are polyatomic cations?
[Kr](5s^2)(4d^10)(5p^1)
What is Indium?
What is SbCl_5
The last group of the period table
What are Noble Gases?
Examples are CO_2 and CO
What are polar covalent bonds?
Examples are SO4^‐2, and NO3^‐ , OH^‐ , CN^‐
What are polyatomic anions?
(# of valence e‐ in free atom) – ½(# of bonding e‐ ) – (# of nonbonding electrons)
What is Formal Charge?
What is P(F_6)^-?
The atom is more tightly held together meaning you need more energy to separate the two atoms
What is a shorter bond length?
Chemical Bonds can be thought of as always laying somewhere on a scale between a perfectly ionic situation and a perfectly covalent situation
What is the Continuum of Chemical bonds?
The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond
What is electronegativity?
Calculated from the sum of the formal charges of each atom in the molecule
What is total charge?
