Study Notes

Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding occurs between atoms to achieve stability, through electron transfer, sharing or forming a metal lattice.
Atoms strive to achieve a stable electronic configuration (2,8,8).
There are three types of bonds (ionic, covalent, metallic).

Elements, Compounds, Mixtures

Elements: Naturally found, cannot be separated further.
Compounds: Formed by chemically combining elements in a fixed ratio.
Mixtures: Formed by physically combining elements or compounds in any ratio.
- Separation techniques can separate mixtures.
A compound is a subset of a molecule, a molecule doesn't need to be a compound.

Types of Bonds: Ionic

Formed between a metal and a non-metal, by transferring electrons.
Metal loses electrons, becomes a positively charged cation.
Non-metal gains electrons, becomes a negatively charged anion.
Ionic compounds form a giant ionic lattice structure.
High melting/boiling points; soluble in water; conduct electricity in molten or aqueous state.

Types of Bonds: Covalent

Formed between non-metals.
Atoms share electrons to gain a full valence shell.
Covalent bonds can form simple molecular structures (with weak intermolecular forces, like van der Waals') or giant covalent structures (with strong covalent forces between atoms).
Simple molecular structures are gases or liquids at room temp, with low melting/boiling points, usually insoluble in water and poor conductors of electricity and heat.
Giant molecular structures are hard/high melting/boiling points, and poor conductors of either (except for graphite).

Types of Bonds: Metallic

Formed between metals.
Metal atoms lose their valence electrons, forming a sea of delocalised electrons.
Positive metal ions are held together by electrostatic attraction to the delocalised sea of electrons.
Metals are malleable (can be bent into shapes), ductile (can be drawn into wires).
Good conductors of electricity and heat.

Giant Molecular Structures

Compounds with extensive structures held by strong covalent bonds.
High melting and boiling points.
Insoluble in water (except certain cases).
Poor conductors of electricity and heat (except graphite)
Includes Diamond, Graphite, and Silicon Dioxide.

Simple Molecular Structures

Compounds composed of small molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces.
Low melting and boiling points.
Can be solids, liquids or gases at room temp.
Insoluble in water (except certain cases).
Poor conductors of electricity and heat.

Additional Notes

Exam questions frequently require explanations in addition to memorizing facts.
