Chapter 8
Electronegativity- how stongly an atom attracts electrons

F has the highest electronegativity

A metal with a non-metal automatically equals an ionic bond

An element minus itself is covalent

<.4 = covalent
.5-1.9 = polar bonds
>2.0 = Ionic bonds

E= 2.31x10^-19 J.nm (Q1 Q2 / r)
E= energy
r= distance between ion centers (nm)
Q= charge

Dipoles= polar

Ionization energy increases as is goes right across the periodic table and decreases down.
Electronegativity increases as it goes right and decreases as it goes down.
The
size of the atoms decreases as it goes right and increases as it goes down.
XeF2, BeCl2, CO2, N2O are all Linear molecules

Bent molecules are always polar.

NH3, PCl3 are both pyrimidal.
                                           VSEPR - theroy
                     ( valence shell electron pair repulsion theroy)


*Lone pair electrons exert a stronger repulsive effect on adjacent electron pairs then do bonded pairs.
*Multiple bonds do not effect the gross strong chemistry of the molecule.
*Electron pairs in the valence shell of an atom are arranged around that atom in such a way as to minimize the repulsion.
*The core electrons do not influence the shape of the molecule.
Delta H = Sumation of D bonds broken minus the sumation of D bonds formed
H=Ed(bb)-Ed(bf)

ex) Calculate Delta H for:
CH4 + 4F2 --> CF4 + 4HF
              Bonds Broken:                                          Bonds Formed:
         4 C-H         413 x 4=   1652                          4 C-F    485 x 4= 1940
         4 F-F         154 x 4=  + 616                          4 H-F    515 x 4=  2260
                                          2268 KJ                                               4200 KJ

Delta H = 2268 - 4200 =
-1932 KJ  (exothermic)
