Study Notes

Chemical Bonding Concepts

  • Chemical bond: An attractive force between atoms, essential for the formation of compounds.
  • Ionic bond: Involves transfer of electrons from one atom to another, creating charged ions.
  • Cation: A positively charged ion formed when an atom loses electrons.
  • Anion: A negatively charged ion formed when an atom gains electrons.

Types of Bonding

  • Covalent bonding: Involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
  • Nonpolar covalent bonding: Electrons are shared equally, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge.
  • Polar covalent bond: Electrons are shared unequally, leading to partial charges on the involved atoms.

Molecular Structures

  • Molecule: A neutral group of atoms bonded covalently.
  • Molecular compound: Composed of molecules as its simplest units, differing from ionic compounds.
  • Chemical formula: Represents the ratio of atoms in a compound using chemical symbols and subscripts.
  • Molecular formula: Displays the specific types and quantities of atoms in a single molecule.
  • Electron dot notation: Depicts valence electrons as dots around an element's symbol.

Structural Representations

  • Structural formula: Illustrates atom arrangements and bonds; shared pairs are represented by dashes.
  • Single bond: A covalent bond involving a single pair of shared electrons.
  • Double bond: Involves two pairs of shared electrons between two atoms.
  • Triple bond: Shares three pairs of electrons between atoms.

Advanced Concepts in Bonding

  • Resonance: Describes molecules or ions that cannot be represented adequately by a single Lewis structure.
  • Ionic compound: Composed of cations and anions in equal numbers to neutralize charge.
  • Formula unit: The simplest ratio of ions in an ionic compound established from its formula.
  • Polyatomic ion: A charged entity consisting of covalently bonded atoms with an overall charge.

Characteristics of Metallic Bonding

  • Metallic bonding: Occurs due to the attraction between metal atoms and their delocalized sea of electrons.
  • Sea of electrons: Refers to the mobility of valence electrons in metals, contributing to conductivity.
  • Malleability: The capacity of a substance to be shaped into thin sheets.
  • Ductility: The ability to be stretched and formed into wires.

Physical Properties of Molecules

  • Luster: Reflects the ability of a substance to emit light, contributing to its brilliance.
  • Intermolecular forces: Attraction forces existing between molecules that influence physical properties.
  • Dipole: Formed by opposing charges separated by a short distance, contributing to molecular polarity.
  • Hydrogen bonding: A strong intermolecular attraction occurring between a hydrogen atom and a more electronegative atom.

Miscellaneous Bonding Types

  • Coordinate covalent bond: A type of covalent bond where both electrons in the bond originate from the same atom.
  • Van der Waals forces: Weak attractions between molecules resulting from temporary dipoles due to unbalanced charges.
