CHEM 127 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Sulfur, Triple Bond, Chemical Formula
Document Summary
The change in energy as the hydrogen atoms are moved closer and closer together. The energy decreases as they get closer together because they are sharing their electrons lling their valence shells. Then as they get even closer, the protons of the atoms are going to repel and you have to put in more and more energy to get them closer and closer together. Carbon can make four bonds and oxygen can make two bonds. Each line represent one pair of shared electrons. Must have same numbers and types of atoms as molecular formula. If you have an odd number of electrons in an atom. These molecules as a whole tend to be very reactive. Tend to be from group 2 or 13. Most commonly, beryllium from group 2 and boron from group 13. These atoms do not bring very many atoms to bond so they often times will not get lled to satisfy the octet.
