Topic 9 Learning Objectives Be able to: Define, compare and contrast, classify, differentiate, put in order, predict using, identify correct and incorrect examples of, identify correct and incorrect interpretations of, identify correct and incorrect applications of…the following terms:
molecular geometry Go into detail about the Valence-Shell-Electron-Pair-Repulsion (VSEPR) Model Go into details about the rules of thumb for electron pair repulsion Explain why multiple bonds take up more "space" than single bonds Apply the three rules to minimize electron pair repulsion in a structure Predict and describe the geometry of compounds with two, three, or four pairs of electrons on the central atom, draw the most correct structure for them, and explain why that structure is the most correct using the VSEPR model Predict and describe the geometry of compounds with five or six pairs of electrons on the central atom, draw the most correct structure for them, and explain why that structure is the most correct using the VSEPR model Describe the relationship between dipole moment and a bond’s polarity Relate dipole moment and molecular geometry for binary molecular compounds and predict whether or not a binary molecular compound would be expected to have a zero net dipole moment on the basis of its geometry Go into detail about valence bond theory Go into detail about how promotion and hybridization explain bond formation and bond strength Go into detail using valence bond theory to describe multiple bonding Predict the hybridization in a compound or bond |
