Study Notes
Ionic Bonds
- Formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in charged ions.
- Characterized by the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
Covalent Bonds
- Occur when atoms share electrons, allowing them to attain stability.
- Shared electrons can be in single, double, or triple bonds based on how many pairs are exchanged.
Metallic Bonds
- Develop when metal atoms pool their electrons, enabling conductivity and malleability.
- Results in a "sea of electrons" that facilitates sharing among many metal atoms.
Alkali Metals
- Comprise Group 1 of the periodic table, includes lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
- Highly reactive metals, especially with water, forming strong bases and hydrogen gas.
Halogens
- Found in Group 17 of the periodic table, consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
- Highly reactive nonmetals that readily form salts with alkali metals.
Noble Gases
- Reside in Group 18 of the periodic table, includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
- Known for their lack of reactivity due to a full valence electron shell.
Electron Dot Diagram
- A visual representation indicating the valence electrons of an atom as dots surrounding the element's symbol.
- Helps understand bonding and electron configuration.
Isotope
- Variants of the same element that contain different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses (e.g., Carbon-12, Carbon-13, Carbon-14).
- Isotopes can be stable or radioactive and have various applications in medicine and research.
Common Chemical Compounds
- Sodium Bromide (NaBr): Composed of sodium and bromide ions, commonly used in medical applications.
- Lithium Oxide (Li₂O): An important compound used in ceramics and batteries.
- Phosphate (PO₄³⁻): A polyatomic ion essential in biology and various biochemical processes.
- Sodium Phosphate (Na₃PO₄): Used in food and industrial applications as a pH regulator.
- Calcium Chloride (CaCl₂): Often used for de-icing roads and as a desiccant.
- Magnesium Sulfide (MgS): Utilized in the production of ceramics and fertilizers.
- Aluminum Fluoride (AlF₃): Important in aluminum production and catalyst in organic chemistry.
- Potassium Nitrate (KNO₃): Historically used in fertilizers and food preservation.
- Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl): Employed in fertilizers, food, and in some pharmaceutical products.
Ionic Compounds
- Typically solid at room temperature, indicative of strong ionic bonds.
- Neutral overall charge; composed of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions.
Molecular Bonds
- Characterized by slight charges due to uneven sharing of electrons, can lead to polar molecules.
Ions
- Formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, leading to a charged particle (positive or negative).
Types of Bonds
- Single Bond: Involves the sharing of a single pair of electrons between two atoms.
- Double Bond: Involves two pairs of electrons shared between two atoms, increasing bond strength.
- Triple Bond: Involves sharing of three pairs of electrons, resulting in a strong connection between atoms.
