Study Notes
Chemical Bonds
- Chemical bonds are lasting attractions between atoms, ions, or molecules.
- Chemical bonds enable the formation of chemical compounds.
Ionic Bonds
- Electrons are transferred.
- Electronegativity differences are generally greater than 1.7.
- Ionic substances are formed when an atom that loses electrons easily reacts with an atom that has a high affinity for electrons.
- Ionic bonds are formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions.
- Formation of ionic bonds is always exothermic.
Covalent Bonds
- Covalent bonds are often found between two nonmetals.
- They are typical of molecular species.
- Atoms bond together to form molecules with strong attraction.
- Atoms share pairs of electrons to attain octets.
- Molecules are generally weakly attracted to each other.
- Covalent bond strength depends on the number of electron pairs shared by the atoms, with single bonds being weaker than double bonds, which in turn are weaker than triple bonds.
Metallic Bonds
- Metallic bonds are the forces of attraction between free-floating valence electrons and positively charged metal cations.
- In metal, cations are packed closely together.
- Valence electrons of the metal atoms form a sea of electrons that drift freely.
- The overall charge of metal is neutral.
Predicting Bond Types
- Electronegativity differences in compounds can predict whether bonds are ionic or covalent.
- Pure covalent bonds have electronegativity differences less than 0.4.
- Polar covalent bonds have electronegativity differences between 0.4 and 1.8.
- Ionic bonds have electronegativity differences greater than 1.8.
Comparison of Bond Types
- Metallic bonding occurs between metals resulting in atoms seeking stability.
- Atoms release their electrons to become cations.
- Ionic bonding occurs between metal and non-metal resulting in atoms seeking stability.
- Atoms give off or accept electrons, happening between atoms of great difference in electronegativity.
- Covalent bonding occurs between non-metals resulting in atoms seeking stability.
- Atoms share electrons with other atoms, happening between atoms of little difference in electronegativity.
- Metallic bonds allow materials to be bent without breaking and to conduct electricity and heat, resulting in high melting and boiling points.
- Ionic bonds easily break, and their ability to conduct electricity may depend on state, resulting in high melting and boiling points.
- Covalent bonds result in fragility that depends on state, and the ability to conduct electricity may depend on the atoms, resulting low melting and boiling points.
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions occur when atoms gain, lose, or share electrons.
- Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to become anions.
- Metals lose electrons to become cations.
Nomenclature Rules for Compounds
- To determine what type of compound you have start with the first level:
- Ionic compounds are composed of cations (metals or polyatomic ions) and anions (nonmetals or polyatomic ions).
- Covalent compounds are nonionic and not composed of cations & anions, consist only of nonmetals.
- Acids produce H in water, the hydrogen cation is generally written first in the chemical formula.
- For ionic compounds, there are two further levels:
- Type I compounds only have one type of cation.
- Type II compounds have more than one.
- For acids, there are two further levels:
- Some acids' anion do not contain oxygen.
- Some acids' anion contain oxygen.
Ion Charges
- An ion's charge can be determined by its place on the periodic table.
Naming Rules for Polyatomic Ions
- The name of the positive ion proceeds the negative radical.
- The negative radical either ends in "ite" or "ate".
- "-ite" is used when the middle ion uses lower oxidation.
- "-ate" is used with higher oxidation.
Naming Covalent Compounds
- For covalent compounds containing two nonmetals:
- Name the electropositive element first.
- Write the name of the second element with an "-ide" ending.
- Use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element (mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, deca-).
- The prefix "mono-" is never used to name the first element.
Naming Acids and Oxy-Acids
- For acids that begin with H, there are 2 categories of 2 Elements, and 3 elements
- For Two Elements: Hydro + stem + ic, for example Hydrochloric Acid
- For Three Elements which have oxygen -
- if the common ion table name ends in ate, the Acid contains stem + ic, for example Nitric Acid
- if the common ion table name ends in ite, the Acid contains stem + ous, for example Nitrous acid
- The name of a binary acid consists of two words.
- The first word has three parts: hydro prefix, the root of the nonmetal element, and the "ic" ending.
Naming Binary Acids
- The name of the binary acid consists of two words.
- The first word has the "hydro" prefix, the root of the nonmetal element, and the “ic” ending. the second work is always "acid"
Naming Oxyacids
- These are more difficult to name because these acids have hydrogen, a nonmetal, and may have varying numbers of oxygen atoms.
- for example H2SO5 H2SO4 H2SO3 and H2SO2 are all acids
- H2SO5 = persulfuric acid; HNO4 = pernitric acid
- H2SO4 = sulfuric acid; HNO3 = nitric acid
- H2SO3 = sulfurous acid; HNO2 =nitrous acid
- H2SO2 = hyposulfurous acid; HNO =hyponitrous acid
- if the acid has one more oxygen than the -ic acid, it is called the per- -ic acid.
- If the acid has one less oxygen than the -ic acid, it is called the -ous acid
- If the acid has one less oxygen than the -ous acid, it is called the hypo- -ous acid. </existing_notes>
