Term
Chemical reactivity
Definition
The way a substance reacts when it comes into contact with another substance or a form of energy. Reactivity depends on the electron configuration of the element.
Term
Least reactive elements
Definition
Nobel gases are the least reactive elements because they have a full octet (8 v.e.)(expecgt He).
Term
Most reactive elements
Definition
Alkali metals (group 1) and the halogens (group 17). The metals need to loose one electron to achieve octet. The halogens need to gain one electron
Term
What is an ion?
Definition
An atom that has gained or lost electrons and now have a positive or negative charge. All atoms want 8 electrons in the valance shell. They can achieve this by becoming an ion. Ions and their parent atom have different properties.
Term
What is a cation?
Definition
An ion with a positive charge. Metals become cations.
Term
What is an anion?
Definition
An ion with a negative charge. Non metals become ions.
Term
What is an ionic bond?
Definition
A bond that forms between ions of opposite charges. Ionic compounds are called saits.
Term
Why does a chemical bond form?
Definition
A chemical bond forms because the individual atoms are unstable. The individual atoms form a bond to become more stable and as a result, potential energy is lowered.
Term
What is chemical energy?
Definition
The energy stored within the bonds between atoms.
Term
Energy changes in bonding and stability:
Definition
When two atoms bond the potential energy is lowered and they become more stable.
Term
Two types of bonds
Definition
Intramolecular and intermolecular
Term
Intramolecular
Definition
True bonds and very strong. Covalent(polar, non polar and coordinate), ionic and metallic.
Term
Intermolecular
Definition
There are attractions, not true bonds. Dipole, hydrogen bond (dna) van der waals and molecule-ion attraction.
Term
How many intramolecular bonds are there?
Definition
3: ionic, covalent and metalic
Term
Ionic bonds:
Definition
formed by metal and non-metal atoms
formed by a complete transfer of elements
formed by a polyatomic ion and anything that will react with it
electronegativity difference is >1.7 exception: NATL (electronegativity 1.2) metal hdrides
Term
Covalent bonds
Definition
form as a result of sharing electrons
only form between non-metals
the difference ion electronegativity is less then 1.7
#3 is only useful for two elements
Term
Non polar covalent bonds:
Definition
forms as a result of equal sharing of electrons
forms between two atoms that are the same
electronegativity difference is equal to zero
Homonuclear (elemental) diatomics- HOFBRINCL
the charge distribution in all of these atoms is symmetrical
Term
Polar covalent bonds:
Definition
formed between 2 different non metals
electrons are shared equally
diffrent electronegativies greater then zero less then 1.7
The electrons are still shared however the atom with the greater elctronegativity will attract the electron with greater force. This will result in a slight positive and negative charge to a polar covalent.
Term
coordinate covalent bonds
Definition
both electrons to be shared come from one atom
the other atom doesn't have electrons
substances that have an extra pair of electrons can form a coordinate covalent bond.
Term
metallic bonds
Definition
formed by two of the same or different metals
Examples: Na (s) Fe (s)
Term
What are lewis electron dot structures?
Definition
a modeling technique that shows how electrons are shared or transferred during bond formation. They consist of the chemical symbol surrounded by the VE
Term
What are lewis diagrams of compounds?
Definition
Lewis dot diagrams put together so that each atom has or shares 8 electrons (i.e. has its octet)
H is the expection to the octet bond.
Covalent Non Polar
Term
What do we mean by a molecule having symmetry or equal distribution of charges?
Definition
Polar Molecules: unequal distribution of charges, asymmetrical molecule, made of any polar bond
Non Polar Molecules: equal distribution of charges, symmetrical molecule, made up of non polar and polar bonds
Term
What doe we mean by "like dissolve like"?
Definition
Polar molecules attract polar molecules (and ions). Non polar molucules attract non polar molecules. Adhesion: attraction between 2 separate molecules of different types
cohesion: internal attraction of the atoms of a molecule of same types or forces.
Term
dipole-dipole attractions
Definition
a dipole means a polar molecule. there for a dipole-dipole attraction is an attraction between 2 polar molecules.
Term
hydrogen bonds:
Definition
strongest of all intermolecular attractions.
types of dipole-dipole attraction
forms between a Hydrogen of 1 molecule and either N,O, F of a separate molecule.
Term
Van Der Waals Forces: aka London forces
Definition
weakest attraction that exists
forms between non polar molecules including noble gasses, large organic molecules and homonuclear diatomic HOFBRINCL
Term
What do we mean by hydrated ions:
Definition
NaCl: An ion that is surrounded by water molecules.
Term
Molecular Formula
Definition
Tells you the total number of of atoms of each element in one molecule of a substance
Term
Empirical Formula
Definition
Represents the simplest ratio which the atoms combine to form a compound. The subscripts represents the simplest whole number relationships between the number of atoms of each element in the compound.
Term
Naming Binary and Ionic compounds
Definition
(Metals and Non-Metals) These are ionic compounds generally named in the order that the elements appear. The second element ends in -ide
Term
Ternary Ionic Compounds
Definition
Compounds that are made up of 3 different elements. Many are compounds in which the cation is a metal and the anion is poly-atomic1
Term

Definition
These are generally molecular compounds. The second element end in -ide
