Q

How do you name a binary covalent compound?

A

1) Element w/ lower EN first
2) ending of the last element changed to -ide
3) apply proper prefixes

19
Q

Prefixes…

A

Mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hept, oct

Ex: if there is only one of the 1st written element, we do not put mono-

20
Q

If there is no difference in EN, ______ will be formed

A

Non-polar covalent bond (same non-metals)

21
Q

If there is medium difference in EN, ______ will be formed

A

Polar covalent bond (different non-metals)

22
Q

If there is large difference in EN, ______ will be formed

A

ionic bond (metal and non-metal)

23
Q

Polarity is _____

A

uneven charge distribution

24
Q

Least polar type of bond, most polar

25
The atom with greater EN gains a _____ dipole, the atom with lesser EN gains a _____ dipole
negative, positive
25
Polar molecules are called _____
dipoles
26
Molecular polarity is affected by...
bond type and symmetry
27
In a polar covalent bond, asymmetry makes it _____, symmetry makes it _______
Polar, non-polar
28
Ionic Bonding
The transfer of one or more valence electrons from one atom to another Forms an Anion and Cation
29
Polyatomic Ion
a group of atoms bonded together that has a charge name does not end in -ide (Exceptions: cyanide, peroxide, hydroxide)
30
Transition Metals
Roman numerals show charge
31
Electronegativity General trends
As you go across a period, electronegativity increases As you go down a group, electronegativity decreases Noble gases have the lowest electronegativity
32
Intermolecular (Van der Waals) Forces
Forces that cause molecules to one another due to partial charged poles
33
3 kinds of IMFs ranked by strength
Hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole forces, london dispersion forces
34
Hydrogen Bonds
Only occur between compounds containing hydrogen with N, O, or F
35
Dipole-dipole force
due to permanent partial charges on dipoles
36
London dispersion forces
occurs in molecules which would otherwise be non-polar - slight temporary imbalances in electron structure
37
Chemical bonds
Bonded atoms have lower energy than single atoms bond forms - exothermic bond breaks - endothermic
38
metallic bonds
formed between the attraction of mobile valence electrons and positive ions - mobile electrons good conductivity, malleable, and ductile Element symbol
39
properties of metallic bond
high boiling point very hard always conductive not soluble
40
properties of ionic bond
high boiling point very hard not conductive as a solid high solubility
41
properties of a covalent bond
low boiling point soft never conductive low solubility
42
network solids
large macromolecules - graph paper atoms covalently bonded together in a continous fashion
43
properties of a network solid
high boiling point very hard not conductive ex: diamond
