Covalent Bond

A chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Ionic Bond vs. Covalent Bond

Ionic bonds involve electron transfer, while covalent bonds involve electron sharing; both lead to stable compounds.

Covalent Compound

A compound formed through covalent bonding between nonmetals, often having low melting and boiling points.

Octet Rule

Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell (8 valence electrons).

What is the octet rule?

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable configuration with eight electrons in their outer shell (except hydrogen and helium).

Metals + Bonding

Metals tend to lose electrons (become cations) to form chemical bonds. They have low electronegativity, meaning they are willing to give up their outer electrons.

Why do metals lose electrons?

Metals have a weaker hold on their valence electrons. They are more likely to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in cations with a positive charge.

Nonmetals + Bonding

Nonmetals tend to gain electrons (become anions) to form chemical bonds. They have high electronegativity, meaning they strongly attract electrons.

Why do nonmetals gain electrons?

Nonmetals have a strong attraction to electrons. They gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in anions with a negative charge.

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⁺.

Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds

Feature Ionic Compounds Covalent Compounds
Formation Metal + Nonmetal Nonmetal + Nonmetal
Bonding Transfer of electrons Sharing of electrons
Structure Crystal lattice structure Molecular structure
Melting/Boiling Point High melting and boiling points Low melting and boiling points
State at room temp Solid Varies (solid, liquid, or gas)
Electrical Conductivity Conduct electricity when dissolved in water Do not conduct electricity in any state
