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 electrons
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 hydridization of something with 3 electron areas
what is sp2
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 6 valence electrons
This form of trigonal has 1 non bonded pair and 3 bonds
what is a trigonal pyramidal
the hydridization of something with 4 electron areas
sp3
ionic bonds occur between
what is metals and non metals
What would two lines represent in a lewis structure? =
what is a doulbe bond of 4 shared electrons
The type of geometry that surrounds the central atom in CH4
what is a tetrahedral
the definition of VSEPR
what is the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
The lowest energy position between two bonded atoms
what is bond length
the element that can newer be in the center of a lewis structure
what is hydrogen
the type of molecular geometry that only has 2 bonded areas and no lone pairs
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
