Study Notes

Lewis Structures and Compounds

  • Lewis structures provide visual representations of electron arrangements in molecules.
  • Correct Lewis structure for KCl is K⁺ and [:Cl:]⁻.
  • Correct Lewis structure for magnesium and sulfur is Mg⁺2 and [:S:]⁻2.
  • Lewis theory predicts aluminum and bromine form AlBr3.
  • Calcium and fluorine combine as CaF2, while barium and sulfur form BaS.
  • Potassium and sulfur yield K2S.

Water and Gaseous Compounds

  • Lewis structure for water is H-:O:-H.
  • Br2 has the structure :Br - Br:.
  • O2 is depicted as :O = O:, while N2 is represented by : N ≡ N :.
  • Carbon monoxide exhibits 2 lone pairs and 3 bonding pairs in its Lewis structure.

Bond Strength and Electrons

  • Bond strength increases in the order: single < double < triple.
  • The nitrate ion contains 24 valence electrons.
  • PO43- polyatomic ion has a total of 32 electrons.

Central Atoms and Bonding

  • Chlorate anion (ClO3-) features three bonding and one lone pair of electrons.
  • Chlorite anion (ClO2-) has two bonding and two lone pairs.
  • The Lewis structure for NO2- is represented as [:O - N = O].

Molecular and Electron Geometry

  • Linear electron geometry corresponds to a 180° angle.
  • Trigonal planar geometry has a bond angle of 120°.
  • Four electron groups around a central atom yield a tetrahedral geometry.
  • Trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry arises when there are three bonds and one lone pair.

Bond Types and Molecular Geometry

  • A double bond and lone pair configuration results in a bent molecular geometry.
  • Ozone (O3) has a bent molecular shape due to its structure.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) is characterized by a linear molecular geometry.
  • Molecular geometry remains tetrahedral for compounds like SiH4 and CCl4.

Polar and Nonpolar Compounds

  • Polar covalent bonds occur when there is a separation of charge.
  • Elements with high electronegativity are predominantly found on the upper right side of the periodic table.
  • H2 represents a nonpolar covalent bond, while H2O has polar covalent bonds.

Interactions with Water

  • Ammonia (NH3) is soluble in water, as is H2S in NH3.
  • Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) dissolves CS2.
  • HCl exhibits polarity; chlorine's higher electronegativity leads to uneven electron sharing, making the molecule polar.

Soap and Its Function

  • Soap molecules have a dual structure with one polar end and one nonpolar end, facilitating interactions between water and oils indirectly.
