CP Chemistry Study Guide for Covalent Bonding Test

Chemistry Covalent Bonding Study Guide

1.     Information hidden in a molecular formula
2.     Structural vs molecular formulas
3.     How do atoms achieve noble gas configuration in molecular compounds
4.     Diatomic molecules  (polarity, nature of the sharing,  ones with single, double or triple bonds))
5.     Using the noble gas configuration of a molecule, find the same configuration in a dif. element
6.     Smallest unit in a molecular compound
7.     Use EDD to identify single double or triple bonds between atoms in a molecule
8.     Coordinate cov. bonds
9.     Judge the reactivity of various cov bonds   Hint  = the more nonpolar is the least least reactive
10. Expanded octets in P and S and Cl  (exceptions)
11. Resonance structures
12. VSEPR theory  Know the reason for the shapes and the names of the shapes given the molecular formula
13.   VSEPR shapes include  linear, bent, pyramidal, and tetrahedral
14. predict eh aprox bond angle given the VSEPR shape  ex h20 angle = 109  deg vs COH(2)   = 120 deg   vs 180 deg in CO(2)
15. Predict polarity of a bond by location in the periodic table  ex rank HCL vs NH3)
16. Rank the strength of bonds by type
17. Cause of  dipole interactions
18. Relate melting point to  intermolecular bonding
19.  Bonding  in networking solids   and properties like melting point
