Study Notes
Chemical Bonds
- Chemical bonds are attractive forces holding atoms together in molecules or formula units.
- Electrons experience a force of attraction from both nuclei, creating a negative-positive-negative attraction.
- This attraction holds the particles together.
- The attraction is called a chemical bond.
- A pair of electrons form a bond.
Ions
- An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained electrons.
- Metals lose electrons to form positive ions (cations).
- Nonmetals gain electrons to form negative ions (anions).
- Ions have a positive or negative charge due to unequal numbers of electrons and protons.
Types of Chemical Bonds
-
Ionic bonds: Attractive forces between oppositely charged ions.
- Involve the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal.
-
Covalent bonds: Sharing of electrons between atoms, typically between nonmetals.
- These atoms do not form ions.
Types of Ions
-
Monoatomic ions: Single atoms with a charge. Examples: Na⁺, Cl⁻.
-
Polyatomic ions: Groups of atoms with an overall charge. Examples: SO₄²⁻, NH₄⁺.
