Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
- Chemical bonds are classified into three types based on the atoms involved: ionic, covalent, and metallic.
- Ionic bonds are formed when metal atoms bond to nonmetal atoms. Electrons are transferred.
- Covalent bonds are formed when nonmetal atoms bond together. Electrons are shared.
- Metallic bonds are formed between metal and metal atoms. Electrons are pooled.
- The atoms are held together by intermolecular forces.
Ionic Bond
- Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between atoms.
- This transfer creates oppositely charged ions (anions and cations) that attract each other.
- Ionic bonds are typically formed between metals (which lose electrons) and nonmetals (which gain electrons).
- The resulting ions arrange themselves in a crystal lattice structure.
- Examples of ionic compounds include NaCl (sodium chloride).
Covalent Bond
- Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.
- Each atom contributes one or more electrons to the shared pair(s).
- Covalent bonds are typically formed between nonmetals.
- Shared electrons hold the atoms together because they are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms.
- Single covalent bonds involve one electron pair.
- Double covalent bonds involve two electron pairs.
- Triple covalent bonds involve three electron pairs.
- Examples of covalent compounds include H₂O (water) and CH₄ (methane).
Coordinate Bond
- A coordinate bond is a type of covalent bond where both electrons in the shared pair come from the same atom.
- The "donor" atom provides both of the electrons and the other atom (acceptor) uses the electron pair.
- Acid is the acceptor electron, and base is the donor electron.
- Example H+ + NH3 = NH₄+
Lewis Structures
- Lewis structures are diagrams that show the valence electrons of atoms in a molecule.
- Valence electrons are represented by dots around the atomic symbol.
- The number of valence electrons for main-group elements is equal to the group number of the element.
- Dots are first arranged singly before pairing (exceptions for helium).
Intermolecular Forces
- Intermolecular forces (IMFs) are attractive forces between molecules.
- These forces are generally weaker than intramolecular forces (forces within a molecule).
- IMF strength affects physical properties like melting/boiling points, solubility, and rates of chemical reactions.
- Types of IMF include:
- London dispersion forces (weakest): present in all molecules
- Dipole-dipole forces (moderate): present in polar molecules.
- Hydrogen bonds (strongest): present in molecules with O-H, N-H, or H-F bonds.
Ion-dipole Forces
- Ion-dipole forces are electrostatic attractions between a charged ion and a polar molecule.
- They are a key factor in the dissolution of ionic compounds in polar solvents such as water.
- The strength of these forces is influenced by both the magnitude of the ion charge and the polarity of the molecule.
Electronegativity
- Electronegativity (EN) is an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
- EN values generally increase across a row of the periodic table and decrease down a column.
- Differences in electronegativity between atoms in a bond determine bond type (polar or nonpolar).
Bond Types Based on Electronegativity
- A small difference (0.0-0.4) in electronegativity represents a nonpolar covalent bond.
- An intermediate difference (0.4-2.0) in electronegativity represents a polar covalent bond.
- A large difference (≥2.0) in electronegativity represents an ionic bond.
