Main Group Nonmetals Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Atomic Radius and Bonding • atomic radius decreases across the period • electronegativity, ionization energy increase across the period • nonmetals on right of p block form anions in ionic compounds • often reduced in chemical reactions • making them oxidizing agents • nonmetals on left of p block can form cations and electron-deficient species in covalent bonding • nonmetals near the center of the p block tend to use covalent bonding to complete their octets • bonding tendency changes across the period for nonmetals from cation and covalent; to just covalent; to anion and covalent Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach

Bonding in Silicates • each Si forms a single covalent bond to 4 O • sp3 hybridization • tetrahedral shape • Si-O bond length is too long to form Si=O • to complete its octet, each O forms a single covalent bond to another Si • the result is a covalent network solid Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
