Energy required to break the bond between two covalently bonded atoms
What is bond dissociation energy?
The number of electrons that can occupy a single orbital
What is 2?
A molecule that has 2 poles
What is dipole?
Where electrons are most probably located in a molecular bonding orbital
What is between the two atomic nuclei?
States that the repulsion between electron pairs causes molecular shapes to adjust so that the valence-electron pairs stay as far apart as possible.
VSEPR Theory
Several atomic orbitals mix to form the same total number of equivalent hybrid orbitals.
What is hybridization?
What is the shape of a molecule with a triple bond?
What is linear?
Which of the theories provides information concerning both molecular shape and molecular bonding?
Orbital hybridization theory
A bond of 109.5 degrees that results when a central atom forms four bonds
What is a tetrahedral angle?
What type of hybrid orbital exists in the methane molecule?
