Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
- Atoms interact to achieve a completed outer electron shell, resembling the nearest noble gas.
- Two main types of chemical bonds are formed:
- Ionic bonds: Electrons are transferred between atoms, creating charged particles (ions). This transfer forms an ionic bond.
- Covalent bonds: Electrons are shared between atoms to complete their valence shells. Atoms share electrons to complete their valence shells.
Ionic Bond
- Electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, forming charged ions.
- This type of bond is formed by the transfer of electrons.
- A chemical bond formed by electron transfer is called an ionic bond.
- Examples include Sodium and Chlorine.
- Sodium loses one electron, while Chlorine gains one. The electron transfer changes them to ions, creating an ionic bond.
Covalent Bond
- Atoms share electrons to complete their valence shells.
- A chemical bond formed by electron sharing is called a covalent bond.
- A covalent bond can be either polar or nonpolar, depending on electronegativity differences of the atoms. Larger differences lead to more polar bonds.
- Examples include Cl₂ where two chlorine atoms share electrons to form a covalent bond.
Coordinate bond
- A special type of covalent bond where one atom provides both electrons shared in the bond.
- In coordinate bonds, one atom donates both shared electrons.
Hybridization
- When atomic orbitals combine to form a new set of orbitals, it's called hybridization. These new orbitals are called hybrid orbitals.
- Atomic orbitals can be hybridized to explain bond angles observed in molecules. These bond angles don't match predicted angles based on non-hybridized atomic orbitals - so hybridization explains the differences.
- Several types of hybridization exist, including sp³, sp², and sp.
Types of Hybrid Orbitals
- sp³: Formed from one s orbital and three p orbitals.
- sp²: Formed from one s orbital and two p orbitals.
- sp: Formed from one s orbital and one p orbital.
Formation of Chemical Bonds
- Overlapping hybrid orbitals can form different types of bonds depending on the overlap geometry.
- Direct overlap forms sigma bonds.
- Parallel overlap forms pi bonds.
sp³ Hybridization
- Example: The formation of Methane (CH₄) Carbon (C) uses sp³ hybrid orbitals when bonding with four hydrogen (H) atoms.
- Carbon's sp³ orbital configuration creates a tetrahedral shape, with 109.5° bond angles.
sp² Hybridization
- Example: Forming Ethene (C₂H₄) or Ethylene, carbon atoms use sp² hybrid orbitals.
- The hybridization of sp² creates 120° bond angles resulting in a planar shape.
sp Hybridization
- Example: The formation of Ethyne (C₂H₂). Carbon atoms use sp hybrid orbitals
- The sp hybridization creates a linear shape with a bond angle of 180°.
