Bonds
#1 Differentiate between single, double and triple bonds in terms of bond length and strength. single bonds are the longest and weakest; as more bonds are added they become shorter and stronger.
#2 Differentiate between melting points of ionic and molecular compounds. ionic compounds have higher melting points than molecular compounds
#3 Electronegativity and number of atoms determines what characteristic of a molecule? polarity
#4 Which diatomic molecule is joined by a triple covalent bond? nitrogen
#5 What property contributes to the unique characteristics of water? polarity
Polarity
#1 According to the VSEPR theory, molecules adjust their shapes for what reason? to keep the valence electrons as far apart as possible
#2 The attraction of the more negative end of a molecule for the more positive end of another molecule is known as... dipole interaction
#3 The phenomenon where a molecule can be diagrammed in more than one way is known as resonance
#4 Condition when electrons are shared unequally polar
#5 Equal sharing of electrons creates a molecule that is ______________. non-polar
Naming
#1 tetraphosphorus monoxide P4O
#2 methane NH3
#3 ammonnia NH3
#4 octane (gasoline) C8H18
#5 diantimony trioxide Sb2O3
VSEPR
#1 Draw the following structure - beryllium difluoride
#2 Oxygen difluoride
#3 ClCN
#4 CH2Cl2
#5 carbon tetrachloride
Hodge Podge
#1 Atoms with greatly differing electronegativity values are expected to form what type of bonds? ionic
#2 The correct Lewis structure for a fluorine atom in a molecule of F2 shows
#3 3 atoms bonded to central atom and 1 lone pair of electrons trigonal pyramidal
#4 6 atoms bonded to the central atom and no lone pairs of electrons octahedral
#5 5 atoms bonded to the central atom and no lone pair of electrons trigonal bipyramidal
