Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
- A chemical bond is a force holding two or more atoms together to form a stable molecule.
- Three main types of chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, and coordinate covalent.
- Other types include metallic, hydrogen, and polar covalent bonds.
- Valence refers to an element's combining capacity or potential.
- Valence electrons are the outermost electrons, involved in bonding.
- Bonding electrons are those involved in bond formation.
- Remaining valence electrons are non-bonding electrons.
- Lewis and Kossel proposed the electronic theory of valence, stating atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve noble gas stability.
- Atoms achieve stable noble gas configurations through electron transfer or sharing.
Ionic Bond
- An ionic bond forms through electrostatic attraction between a positively charged cation and a negatively charged anion.
- Electron transfer creates these charges.
- Ionic compounds (or electrovalent compounds) form from metals transferring electrons to nonmetals.
- For ionic bonding to occur, the metal atom should have low ionization energy and the nonmetal atom should have high electron affinity.
Conditions for an Ionic Bond
- Element A should have 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons.
- Element B should have 5, 6, or 7 valence electrons.
- The overall energy of the ionic compound must decrease during the formation of the ions and the crystal lattice.
- The ionization energy for removing electrons from A (the metal) should be low, and the electron affinity for adding electrons to B (the nonmetal) should be high.
- Electrostatic attraction in the solid compound releases energy that further stabilizes the compound.
Characteristics of Ionic Compounds
- Solids at room temperature
- High melting and boiling points
- Hard and brittle
- Conducts electricity in liquid or aqueous state
- Generally soluble in water
Covalent Bond
- A covalent bond is formed by sharing electrons between atoms.
- Atoms sharing electrons acquire noble gas configurations.
- Atoms with 5, 6, or 7 valence electrons tend to form covalent bonds.
- If electronegativity difference between atoms is low or zero, the bond is non-polar.
- If electronegativity differences are significant and polar, the bond is polar.
Covalent Compound Characteristics
- Can be solids, liquids, or gases, at room temperature
- Low melting and boiling points
- Neither hard nor brittle
- Non-conductors of electricity in both solid and liquid state
- Generally, they are soluble in non-polar solvents, and insoluble in water
Coordinate Covalent Bond
- A coordinate covalent bond occurs when both electrons in the shared pair originate from the same atom.
- One atom (donor) donates a lone pair of electrons, the other (acceptor) accepts the shared pair.
Non-Covalent Interactions
- Electrostatic interactions (charge-charge) between charged groups or dipoles are common in biological systems.
- Hydrogen bonds, pi-pi interactions, and other bonds are weaker than covalent bonds, but play crucial roles in biological systems.
- Hydrophobic interactions are not real forces in the physical sense but result from the preferential tendency of nonpolar substances to interact with other nonpolar substances and minimize their exposure to water.
Hybridization
- Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals.
- New orbitals are of similar energy and shape.
- Hybridization determines molecular geometry and bonding properties.
- Common types of hybridization include sp, sp2, and sp3.
