They result from transfer of electrons ex: formation of lithium fluoride LiF

One electron from LI is transferred to F

Li bears a positive charge and F a negative charge

17
New cards

The definition of ionic bonds?

The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is called ionic bonds , such bonds are typical of the salts formed by metallic elements from the far left side and the nonmetallic elements from the far right side of the table

18

They result from sharing electrons, ex:

Formation of hydrogen molecule,

19

26
New cards

Whats van der waals forces?

They’re the weakest intermolecular forces

They exist between all types of molecules

They increase with increasing of number of carbon atoms

27
New cards

Whats electronic configuration and pauli exclusion principle?

There are number of rules that determine the way the electrons of an atom may be distributed and they determine the electron configuration of an atom

The most fundamental of these rules is pauli’s rule

28
New cards

Whats pauli exclusion principle?

Only two electrons can occupy the same atomic orbital, but they must have an opposite spinning direction

29
New cards

What determines the electron configuration of an atom?

Some rules that determine the way in which electrons are distributed and that determines it all

30
New cards

So if electrons with opposite spins are paired what happens to electrons with same spin?

31
New cards

What happens to energy when two atoms combine to form a molecule?

Energy is librated

32
New cards

How to break a molecule into atoms?

It requires the equivalent amount of energy it librated to form the molecules

33
New cards

Whats bond dissociation energy?

Its the equivalent amount of energy that are librated to break the molecule into atoms

Or energy librated or consumed when a bond is broken or formed is called bond dissociation energy

34
New cards

Whats homolysis ?

Its two electrons making the covalent bond each one goes to their separate one fragment

35
New cards

Whats heterolysis

Both bonding electrons go to the same fragment

36
New cards

Certain covalent bonds have another property and its ?

Polarity

37
New cards

What’s polarity?

Two atoms joined by a covalent bond share a pair of electrons their nuclei is held by the same electron cloud

38
New cards

Why in most cases the nuclei of two atoms joined by a covalent bond who share a pair of electrons don’t share electrons equally?

The electron cloud is denser about an atom than the other

39
New cards

What kind of bond possesses polarity or called a polar bond in ways of - and +

One end of the bond is thus relatively negative and the other end is relatively positive so there’s a negative and positive pole

40
New cards

We can expect a bond to be polar id the atoms joined by them differ in what?

In their tendency to attract electrons,atoms that differ in electronegativity .

Furthermore, the greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond

will be.

41
New cards

Whats Polarity of molecules:

A molecule is polar if the center of negative charge does not coincide

with the center of positive charge. Such a molecule constitutes a dipole:

(two equal and opposite charges separated in space). A dipole is often

symbolized by ( µ). The molecule possesses a dipole moment,

42
New cards

Molecules like what have zero dipoles ?

Molecules like (H2, O2, N2, Cl2, and Br2) have zero dipole moments, that

is, are non-polar

43
New cards

Why Molecules like (H2, O2, N2, Cl2, and Br2) have zero dipole moments, that

is, are non-polar

Because The two identical atoms of each of these molecules have,

of course, the same electronegativity and share electrons equally.

44
New cards

A molecule like hydrogen fluoride (HF) Why it has a large dipole moment?

(1.75 D). Although hydrogen fluoride is a small molecule, the very high

electronegative fluorine pulls the electrons strongly.

45
New cards

Methane and carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, have How much dipole?

Zero

46
New cards

carbon tetrachloride why they exactly cancel each other out

We

certainly would expect the bonds-of carbon tetrachloride at least to be

polar; because of the very symmetrical tetrahedral arrangement

47
New cards

Whats Solubility?

When a solid or liquid dissolves or miscible, the structural units-ions or

molecules become separated from each other, and the spaces in between

become occupied by solvent molecules.

48
New cards

How much energy is needed in solubility to do what?

A great deal of energy is needed to overcome the electrostatic forces holding together an ionic lattice

49
New cards

What are the highly solubility solvent and what do they do as a solvent?

Water or or other highly polar solvents are able to dissolve ionic compounds

50
New cards

In solution each ion is surrounded by a cluster of solvent molecules, and

is said to be (solvated); if the solvent happens to be water,

Its hydrated
