Chapter 6 Chemical bonding / VESPR review

Front

What is a metallic bond?

Back

The attraction between positive metal ions and free floating electrons.

Front

Why do metals conduct electricity?

Back

The electrons are delocalised and able to move.

Front

What type of bond forms between Be and F?

Back

Ionic bond.

Front

What is the molecular shape with three bonding partners and no unshared pairs of electrons?

Back

Trigonal planar.

Front

Which molecule has a linear shape?

Back

CO2.

Front

Define ionic bond.

Back

A chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Front

What is VSEPR theory?

Back

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory; it predicts the shape of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs.

Front

What is the shape of a molecule with four bonding partners and no lone pairs?

Back

Tetrahedral.

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A chemical bond formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Front

What is the shape of a molecule with two bonding partners and no lone pairs?

Back

Linear.
