Study Notes

Molecular Geometry and Electron Geometry

PH3 has a central atom surrounded by three single bonds and one lone pair, giving it a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
NH4+ and a tetrahedral electron pair geometry indicate four single bonds with no lone pairs.
Water's asymmetric structure contributes to its polarity.

Lewis Structures

The correct Lewis structure for diatomic nitrogen (N2) shows a triple bond: :N≡N:.
Formal charges in chloroform (CHCl3) for each atom are zero for C and H, and zero for each Cl atom.
Resonance structures represent different valid configurations of electrons in a molecule, but do not fully depict the actual structure.

Bonding and Hybridization

Electronegativity quantifies an atom's ability to attract electrons.
A molecule with sp3 hybridization displays tetrahedral electron geometry; sp2 indicates trigonal planar.
In a double bond, there is one sigma bond and one pi bond; a triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds.

VSEPR Theory

Electron pair geometry varies based on the number of lone pairs and bonding groups, affecting the overall molecular shape.

Stoichiometry and Reactions

The limiting reactant limits the amount of product formed in a chemical reaction; the excess reactant is left over.
Percent yield is calculated by comparing the actual yield to the theoretical yield of a chemical reaction.
For the combustion of hydrocarbons, mass relationships can determine how much product is created based on reactants.

Reactants and Products

Balanced equations are crucial as they ensure mass conservation; coefficients reflect mole ratios in reactions.
When aluminum reacts with oxygen, stoichiometry reveals how many moles of aluminum oxide are produced from a certain amount of aluminum.

Experimental and Theoretical Considerations

In stoichiometric calculations, ensure the equation is balanced before determining conversion factors.
The total number of valence electrons impacts how compounds are formed and their reactivity in various chemical processes.
