Study Notes
Diamond Melting Point
- Diamonds melt at 7000°C.
- This is due to the incredibly strong covalent bonds within their structure.
Covalent Bonds in Diamonds
- Diamonds consist of carbon atoms bonded covalently in a network structure.
- Covalent bonds are exceptionally strong.
- Melting or boiling covalent molecules (e.g., sugar, water) involves breaking intermolecular bonds (weak bonds between molecules), not covalent bonds.
Intermolecular vs. Intramolecular Bonds
- Intramolecular: Occur within a molecule (e.g., covalent bonds).
- Intermolecular: Occur between molecules (e.g., weak forces like London dispersion).
Ionic Bonds
- Ionic bonds form between positively and negatively charged ions.
- Sodium chloride (NaCl) melts around 800°C, which is stronger than intermolecular forces but weaker than covalent bonds in diamond.
Metallic Bonds
- Metallic bonds hold metals together via a "sea of electrons" surrounding cations (positive metal ions).
- Strong metallic bonds result in high melting points for metals.
Melting Points and Bond Strength
- Stronger bonds correlate with higher melting points (diamonds, some ionic compounds, metals).
- Weaker intermolecular forces result in lower melting points (sugar, water, various molecular compounds).
Network Covalent Solids
- Diamond, graphite, and silicon dioxide (sand) are examples of network covalent solids.
- Carbon atoms in diamond form a 3D network.
- Graphite's carbon atoms are arranged in layered sheets.
- Sand's SiO₂ molecules are strongly covalently bonded in a network.
Solubility and Solutions
- Ionic and molecular compounds dissolve in solutions.
- Network covalent and metallic solids generally do not.
- Substances dissolve in solutions when there's attraction between solute and solvent.
Polarity of Molecules
- Nonpolar molecules: Atoms are identical or evenly distributed around a central atom (held together by London Dispersion forces).
- Polar molecules: Asymmetrical, causing partial charges (stronger attraction than nonpolar).
- Superpolar Molecules (Hydrogen Bonding): Polar molecules with hydrogen attached to highly electronegative elements (oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine) exhibit strong hydrogen bonding, almost as strong as ionic bonds (e.g., water).
Bond Strength Order
- Ionic bonds are the strongest.
- Hydrogen bonds (in superpolar molecules) are next.
- Polar molecules exhibit weaker attractions.
- Nonpolar molecules have the weakest forces.
Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons (carbon and hydrogen) exist as gases, liquids, or solids at room temperature depending on their size.
- Larger hydrocarbons possess stronger London Dispersion Forces due to greater electron cloud size.
London Dispersion Forces
- Temporary positive and negative charge shifts in nonpolar molecules create weak attractive forces (London Dispersion Forces).
Solubility and Attraction
- Substances dissolve if there's attraction between solute and solvent.
- Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents; nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents; ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents.
Wax in Hexane vs. Water
- Wax dissolves in hexane (nonpolar solvent).
- Wax does not dissolve in water (polar solvent) due to lack of attraction between nonpolar wax and polar water.
Ionic Solutes in Water
- Water dissolves ionic compounds by aligning with the ions: oxygen (negative) towards positive ions, and hydrogen (positive) towards negative ions.
- This strong attraction leads to dissolution.
Polar Solutes in Water
- Water dissolves polar molecules similarly, using its partial charges to break apart the solute.
Nonpolar Solutes in Water
- No dissolution as no attraction exists between nonpolar molecules and polar water molecules.
Concentration (Molarity)
- Molarity = Moles of solute / Liters of solution
- Convert grams of solute to moles using molar mass before calculation.
Saturation and Solubility
-
Saturated solution: Solution with maximum solute at a given temperature.
-
Solubility Chart: Historical method to find solubility values for various substances at different temperatures by looking at a chart.
-
Supersaturated solution: Contains more solute than the saturated amount—unstable.
-
Unsaturated solution: Less solute than the saturated amount, more solute can be dissolved.
-
Temperature generally increases solubility of most ionic compounds (more solute dissolves).
-
Solubility of some ionic compounds (e.g., NaCl) is relatively unaffected by temperature.
Calculation of Molarity, Moles, and Liters
-
Molarity (M): moles of solute/ liters of solution
-
To find any of the unknowns (moles, liters, or molarity) you need two of the other variables.
-
Convert grams to moles using molar mass.
