Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
- A compound is a substance made of two or more different elements combined chemically.
- Attractive forces, called chemical bonds, hold the atoms together in a compound.
- The Octet Rule describes how atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve an electron arrangement with eight electrons in their outermost energy level.
- Noble gases have stable electron configurations with eight or two electrons in their outermost level, so they do not react.
- Transition metals often do not follow the octet rule
- Hydrogen, lithium, and beryllium often achieve a full outer shell with just two electrons.
- An ion is a charged atom or group of atoms that has gained or lost electrons.
- Ionic bonding occurs when electrons are transferred completely from one atom to another, forming ions that attract each other.
- A cation is a positively charged ion.
- An anion is a negatively charged ion.
- An ionic bond is the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Ionic Compounds: Formulas
- Chemical formulas represent compounds using element symbols and numbers to show how many atoms of each element are present.
- Ionic compounds are usually formed from metal groups I and II combining with non-metal groups VI and VII.
- Ionic compounds are neutral, so the positive and negative charges in the compound must be equal.
- Common Polyatomic ions (include their charges and formulas)
- Hydroxide (OH⁻)
- Nitrate (NO₃⁻)
- Hydrogencarbonate (HCO₃⁻)
- Permanganate (MnO₄⁻)
- Carbonate (CO₃²⁻)
- Chromate (CrO₄²⁻)
- Dichromate (Cr₂O₇²⁻)
- Sulfate (SO₄²⁻)
- Sulfite (SO₃²⁻)
- Thiosulfate (S₂O₃²⁻)
- Phosphate (PO₄³⁻)
- Ammonium (NH₄⁺)
Writing Ionic Compound Formulas
- Determine the charges of the ions involved.
- Find the lowest common multiple of the absolute values of the charges.
- Use the lowest common multiple to determine the number of each ion needed to balance the charges.
- Write the formula using the subscripts to indicate the number of each ion.
Covalent Bonding
- Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
- A molecule is a group of atoms joined together, the smallest particle of an element or compound that can exist independently.
- Single, double, or triple bonds represent the number of electron pairs shared between atoms.
- A single bond = one shared pair
- A double bond = two shared pairs
- A triple bond = three shared pairs
- Chlorine gas (Cl2) shares a pair of electrons, a single covalent bond, so Cl2 is a molecule.
- Oxygen needs two pairs of electrons (two covalent bonds) to reach a full outer shell of 8 electrons, forming a molecule (O2).
- Hydrogen gains a pair, and hydrogen atoms gain a full outer shell of 2 electrons so H2 is a molecule
Shapes of Covalent Molecules
- Use VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) theory to predict the shape of a molecule. Count the bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom.
Electronegativity
- Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond
- A large electronegativity difference indicates polar covalent bonds (unequal sharing).
- A small difference indicates nonpolar covalent bonds (equal sharing)
- Polar bonds result in a slightly positive end (δ+) and a slightly negative end (δ-)
Types of Covalent Bonds
- nonpolar covalent: bonds with equal sharing of electrons
- polar covalent: bonds with unequal sharing of electrons resulting from a difference in electronegativity between the atoms
Intermolecular Forces
- Intramolecular bonds occur within a molecule.
- Intermolecular forces occur between molecules. Examples include Van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding
- Van der Waals forces: weak attractive forces between non-polar molecules due to temporary dipoles
- Dipole-dipole forces: attractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.
- Hydrogen bonding: a strong type of dipole-dipole force that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom.
- These interactions greatly affect boiling/melting point. Larger molecules generally (but not always) have higher boiling points due to stronger intermolecular forces.
