Study Notes
Electron Sharing and Bond Polarity
- Fluorine gas (F2) has a nonpolar F-F bond due to equal electron sharing.
- In hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the S-H bond is polar due to unequal electron sharing.
Bond Characteristics
- Polar bonds result from an unequal sharing of electrons, where one atom has a greater pull on the electrons.
- Nonpolar bonds occur when bonding atoms have the same electronegativity values.
Electronegativity and Bond Types
- Electronegativity differences help classify bonds:
- Ionic bonds form when differences exceed 1.8.
- Polar covalent bonds have differences ranging from 0.5 to 1.8.
- Nonpolar covalent bonds occur with differences from 0 to 0.4.
Molecule Interactions
- Dipole-dipole forces indicate the presence of polar molecules.
- Polar molecules can induce a temporary dipole in nearby nonpolar molecules.
- Dispersion forces are weaker in smaller molecules compared to larger ones.
Intermolecular Forces
- Types of intermolecular forces ranked by strength: ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, and London dispersion forces.
- Surface tension arises from cohesive forces, allowing some insects to stand on water.
- Adhesion exceeding cohesion leads liquids to rise in capillary tubes.
Properties of Liquids
- Increased intermolecular forces within a substance lead to decreased vaporization.
- Particles in liquids can move freely over one another, allowing fluidity.
Chemical Bonds
- Chemical bonding aims to hold atoms together for stability.
- Ionic bonds involve electron transfer between a metal and a nonmetal, exemplified by NaCl.
- Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between nonmetals, seen in molecules like helium and neon.
Polarity and Molecular Geometry
- A molecule exhibits polarity if it has an asymmetrical distribution of charges.
- Polarity results in the presence of partial positive and negative charges within the molecule.
- Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory explains how electron pairs position themselves to minimize repulsion.
Thermal Properties and Solubility
- Polar substances dissolve in polar solvents, while nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
- Polar compounds typically have higher surface tension, melting points, and boiling points than their nonpolar counterparts.
