Zeff
Zeff = ability of protons to pull electrons
toward the nucleus
Function of:
1) Proton number
2) Number of shells
Periodic Trends
Shielding vs. Zeff
Across = adds protons ; increases Z eff
Down = adds electron shells ; decreases Z eff
Atomic Radius
Radius increases left ; decreasing Z eff
Radius increasess down ; decreasing Z eff
increases
Ionic Radius
Remove electrons = increase Zeff, reduce repulsion
Add electrons = decrease Zeff, add repulsion
cation radius < neutral radius < anion radius
Electronegativity
An atoms ability to pull electrons to itself in a
covalent bond
Increases right ; increasing Zeff, close to octet
Increases up ; increasing Zeff
increases
Electronegativity Application

Electron Affinity
Energy involved in putting an electron onto a single
atom
+ endergonic (unstable)
- exergonic (stable)

Ionization Energy
Energy required to remove least tightly
bound electron (always +)
Energy increases right ; Zeff increasing

I.E. Application
Place the following in order of increasing
first ionization energy:
Li Be B C N O F Ne

Formal Charge
Are atoms being shared in the best possible
way?
FC = v.e. b.e. l.e.
Use the box method!
Formal Charge Application

Determine the best lewis diagram for NO
using formal charge
Determine formal charges on H2CO3
Hybridization
The way of best arranging valence electrons
in a bond

Rules:
1) Every attachment uses one orbital
2) Lone pairs use one orbital

Geometric Family:
lone pairs = bonding pairs

Why does ozone have a higher b.p. than oxygen?

-ozone is polar and has dipole-dipole intermolecular forces
Why is ozone more soluble than oxygen?

-ozone is polar
Why are the two bonds in ozone equal length and each longer than
the bond in diatomic oxygen?
-ozone has resonance making for two incomplete double bonds
compared to oxygens full double bond
Intramolecular Forces
Non-polar Covalent: equal sharing of electrons
H2 N2 O2 F2 Cl2 Br2 I2
Polar Covalent: unequal sharing of electrons
-forms dipole moment
HCl, CO, H2O
Intramolecular Forces 2
Coordinate Covalent: donates orbitals and
donates electrons
Lewis Acid electron acceptor (usually metal or B)
Lewis Base electron donor
Metallic: sea of electrons
Network Covalent: all bonds covalent, no distinct
molecule, no intermolecular
Intermolecular Force
Ionic: two ions
Ion-Dipole: ion/polar
Dipole-Dipole: polar/polar
Intermolecular Forces 2
Dipole-Induced Dipole: polar/non-polar
London: non-polar/non-polar

1) size
2) # of e-
London Dispersion Force

Application
Order HCl, HBr, and HI in increasing order
of boiling points
HCl < HBr < HI
H-bonding
Both molecules must have an N, O, or F and
one molecule must have an H already
attached to its N, O, or F
Roughly 5-10% the strength of a covalent
bond
H-bond application
Why cant H2S H-bond (even though it is in
the same family as H20)?
-S does not pull enough electron density
away from H to make H positive enough

Whose H-bonds are stonger?
