Organic Chemistry Chapter 3 Quiz

FC = [# valence e-] – [non-bonded e- + number of bonds]

Alkenes use the suffix -ene and contain a double bond (C=C).

Electronegativity increases from left to right and from bottom to top.

<p>Formal charge is the hypothetical charge an atom would have if all bonding electrons were shared equally between atoms. It helps determine the most stable Lewis structure by minimizing the formal charges across all atoms.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a bond. A significant difference in electronegativity between two atoms can lead to ionic bonding, while similar values promote covalent bonding.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Lewis structures depict the arrangement of valence electrons around atoms in a molecule, with dots representing non-bonding electrons and lines representing shared bonds. They illustrate how atoms bond and their lone pair electrons.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Ionic bonding occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of cations and anions. This process helps atoms achieve a full valence shell of eight electrons, in accordance with the octet rule.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve full valence shells, while ionic bonding involves the complete transfer of electrons, resulting in charged ions. Covalent bonds typically form between non-metal atoms.</p> Signup and view all the answers
