hi people


hi people.
seeing how absolutely around the corner terms are.
ur dearest and sweetest acl has decided to help u in ur revision!!
weeeee!
hahahaha
(but actually thats cos im freaking bored)

so this is an incentive for those who visits class blog dutifully & frequently & v weak in chem
ok here are basically some stuff that she might not have gone through in class

1. COVALENT BONDING WITH 2ND ROW ELEMENTS
- elements with 1 to 4 electrons in their valence shells form the same no. of covalent bonds as
the no. of valence shell electrons
- elements of 2nd period with more than 4 electrons in their outer shells form (8-n), whereby
n=no. of valence shell electrons

this is because elements of the 2nd row of periodic table have 4 orbiatls in their valence shell (2S, 2Px, 2Py, 2Pz) <--- note: only 8 electrons in valence shell, hence cannot accomodate more than 4 pairs of electrons

2. COVALENT BONDING WITH 3RD ROW ELEMENTS
- 3rd & subsequent rows can utilise their d orbitals in bonding as well as s and p orbitals (3s, 3p,3d) <--- note can have 18 electrons in valence shell (2n^2), hence can form more than 4 covalent bonds to other atoms

3. lone pair is an area of -ve charge & thurs forms the delta -ve end of a dipole

4. Isoelectronic molecules & ions
-Definition: has same no. of electrons, same no. of bonded & non-bonded electron pairs in their
valence shells
- Isoelectronic molecules/ons all have same basic shape & identical bond angles

5. Double bond: 4 electrons in this bond count as one group of electrons (used in VESPR)


the above information is reliable to a certain extent
cos it comes from our chem txt book.
i.e. Chemistry for advanced level by peter cann & peter hughes

so yes. i hope that this helps u guys alot!
all the best for terms!
and may u guys score especially well for chem!! :DDDD

~XOXO jia :D

hello guys
its me again.
o ya
btw. if u have xtra time please read localised and delocalised pi bonds.

cos apparently not in the notes.

but not sure if in syllabus anot.
if someone knows if it is in or not in syllabus please post here

thanks!
