New cards
Single Bond
1 line/1 sigma bond
2
New cards
Double Bond
2 lines/1 sigma & 1 pi bond
3
New cards
Triple Bond
3 lines/1 sigma & 2 pi bonds
4
New cards
Increasing Bond Length
Triple<Double<Single
5
New cards
Increasing Bond Strength
Single<Double<Triple
6
New cards
Bond Order (general)
total # of individual bonds/# of bond areas
* the closer to 0 the better the structure
7
New cards
Formal Charge
group #-dots-sticks
8
New cards
Bond Energy
deltaHrxn= sum of reactants - sum of products
9
New cards
Lattice Energy
* increases as atoms get smaller * ion1 charge \* ion2 charge * high LE means high melting and boiling point
10
New cards
Valence Bond Theory
* # of e- groups = # of hybrid orbitals * look at partially filled/empty orbitals to determine overlap * double/triple bonds are 1 e- group
11
New cards
Sigma Bond
end to end, lowers overall energy, allows free rotation
* stronger than pi bonds
12
New cards
Pi bond
side by side, restricts rotation
13
New cards
Molecular Orbital Theory
Treats a molecule as a collection of atomic nuclei with orbitals that are delocalized over the entire molecule, thereby eliminating the need for resonance structures to depict molecules with fractional bond orders.
