Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
Types of Chemical Bonds
Chemical bonds are the attractive forces that hold atoms together in a molecule. There are two main types of chemical bonds: ionic bonds and covalent bonds.
Ionic Bonds
Definition
- Ionic bonds are formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges.
- The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions holds them together and forms an ionic bond.
Characteristics
- Typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal.
- Involve the transfer of one or more electrons.
- Result in the formation of ions with opposite charges.
- Have high bond energies and are typically strong.
Examples
- Sodium chloride (NaCl): sodium loses an electron to become a positively charged ion (Na+), while chlorine gains an electron to become a negatively charged ion (Cl-).
- Calcium carbonate (CaCO3): calcium loses two electrons to become a positively charged ion (Ca2+), while carbonate gains two electrons to become a negatively charged ion (CO32-).
Covalent Bonds
Definition
- Covalent bonds are formed when two or more atoms share one or more pairs of electrons in order to achieve a full outer energy level.
- The shared electrons are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms, holding them together and forming a covalent bond.
Characteristics
- Typically formed between two nonmetals.
- Involve the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons.
- Result in the formation of a molecule with a shared electron cloud.
- Have varying bond energies and can be strong or weak.
Examples
- Hydrogen molecule (H2): two hydrogen atoms share a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.
- Methane molecule (CH4): a carbon atom shares four pairs of electrons with four hydrogen atoms to form a covalent bond.
Polar Covalent Bonds
- A type of covalent bond where the sharing of electrons is unequal, resulting in a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other.
- Typically formed between two nonmetals with different electronegativities.
- Examples: hydrogen chloride (HCl), water (H2O)

Ionic Bonds
- Formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in ions with opposite charges.
- Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions holds them together.
- Typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal.
- Involve the transfer of one or more electrons.
- Result in the formation of ions with opposite charges.
- Have high bond energies and are typically strong.
- Examples: sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

- Examples: hydrogen chloride (HCl), water (H2O).
Newton's First Law
- An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force
- Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion
- Examples of inertia:
- A car will keep moving on a flat road until friction or another force slows it down
- A bowling ball will continue to roll until friction or the bumper stops it
Force and Acceleration
- Force is a push or pull that causes an object to change its motion
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
- Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma)
- Mass affects force and acceleration: more massive objects require more force to produce a given acceleration
- Force affects acceleration: greater force results in greater acceleration
- Examples:
- A heavy truck requires more force to accelerate than a small car
- A strong wind can cause a sailboat to accelerate quickly
Friction
- Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact
- Types of friction:
- Static friction prevents an object from moving
- Kinetic friction opposes an object's motion
- Rolling friction opposes the motion of an object rolling on a surface
- Factors affecting friction:
- Normal force (force perpendicular to the surface)
- Surface roughness
- Type of surface
- Examples:
- Frictional force between a car's tires and the road allows it to accelerate and brake
- Friction can cause a block to slow down and eventually stop on a horizontal surface
Projectile Motion
- Projectile motion involves the motion of an object under the influence of gravity
- Horizontal motion is unaffected by gravity, with a constant velocity
- Vertical motion is affected by gravity, with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2
- Trajectory is the path of the object, with a range that is the maximum horizontal distance an object can travel
- Examples:
- A thrown ball follows a parabolic trajectory
- A launched rocket can travel a long range due to its high initial velocity
