Lewis theory of bonding states
a chemical bond involves atoms sharing electrons
atoms combine to achieve
a more stable electron configuration
Maximum stability results when
a chemical species isoelectronic with a noble gas
Lewis dot symbol
the element’s symbol surround by dots representing electrons
Ionic Bonding
the electrostatic attraction that holds oppositely charge ions together in an ionic compound
Lattice energy
amount of energy required to convert a mole of ionic solid to its constituent ions in the gas phase
Force is proportional to
Q1xQ2/d^2
- Q1/Q2 = charges
