Study Topics
General Bonding
- know the electronegativity differences for determining ionic/covalent (polar and non-polar) bonds and percentage of ionic character
- be able to explain how potenial energy changes during bonding
- basic Lewis Dot structures - be able to identify correct ones
- comparison of valence electrons
- definition for bond length
- Definition for resonance
Covalent Bonding
- compare polar to nonpolar molecules
- how are covalent compounds different from ionic compounds
- definition for molecular formula
- which elements form multiple bonds
- how are molecular forces different from intramolecular forces
- determining which atoms have partial negative charges
Ionic Bonding
- why are ionic bonds not written with a molecular formula
- what is the crystal lattice and potential energy
- lattice energy - what does it mean
Polyatomic Compounds
- definition
- how many extra electrons and how do you know
VSPER Theory
- what does it predict
