Study Notes

Chemical Bonds

Atoms with five valence electrons generally form three covalent bonds.
The sharing of electrons between nonmetals results in covalent bonds while the attraction between oppositely charged ions results in ionic bonds.
Nonpolar covalent bonds are characterized by equal sharing of electrons, and a bond dipole occurs when atoms have differing electronegativities.

Molecular Structures and Geometry

Formaldehyde (CH2O) has 12 valence electrons.
Chloroethylene (C2H3Cl) can be represented with the Lewis structure H-C=C-Cl.
Carbonic acid has bond angles around the carbon atom of 120° due to its trigonal planar geometry.
Aspartic acid requires 4 lone pairs of electrons to complete its structure.

Molecular Shapes

The molecular shape around a phosphorus atom in PH3 is trigonal pyramidal.
The nitrogen atom in NH3 exhibits a trigonal pyramidal shape.
The bond angles around sulfur in certain organic compounds measure approximately 109.5°.

Polarity in Molecules

Molecules CBr3 and others may be polar based on their structure and electronegativity values.
The most polar bond among given options is C-F, due to the significant difference in electronegativity.

Lewis Structures

Valid Lewis structures respect the octet rule, while incorrect structures may violate this principle.
The Lewis structure of OBr- includes a charge indicating additional electrons.

Valence Electrons and Electron Configuration

Lithium ions (Li+) have 2 total electrons, and fluorine ions (F-) have a configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
An atom with 20 protons and 18 electrons is denoted as Ca²⁺, while an atom with 16 protons and 18 electrons is represented as S²⁻.

Ionic Compounds

The ionic compound lithium oxide is represented by the formula Li2O.
When aluminum and sulfur combine, the formula is Al2S3.
Sn(CN)4 represents tin (IV) cyanide.

Chemical Naming and Formula Accuracy

(NH4)2SO4 is named ammonium sulfate.
AuI3 is classified as gold (III) iodide, while Ag2O is known as silver (I) oxide.
The charge on the chromium ion in CrCl3 is +3.

Melting Points and Ionic Compounds

KCl has a higher melting point compared to other organic or molecular substances listed, due to strong ionic bonds.
The formula for the ionic compound containing lead (II) and carbonate ions is PbCO3.

Polyatomic Ions

Calcium diphosphate is represented as Ca2P2O7, indicating the diphosphate ion as P2O7²⁻.
