Study Notes

Bond Types

  • Ionic bonds: Form between metals and non-metals through electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).
  • Covalent bonds: Form between non-metals by sharing electrons. These bonds form molecules.
  • Metallic bonds: Join metals to metals, characterized by a "sea of electrons."

Chemical Formulas

  • Sulfur Oxide (III): SO₂
  • Iron (III) sulfide: Fe₂S₃
  • Dinitrogen hexafluoride: N₂F₆

Valence Electrons

  • Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.
  • The number of valence electrons determines bonding properties and electron configuration of different elements.

Molecular Geometry

  • Molecular geometry describes the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms and lone pairs in a molecule.
  • The geometry is determined by the number of bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom. This affects the shape.
  • Examples of molecular geometries and angles include:
    • Linear (180°)
    • Trigonal planar (120°)
    • Bent (<120°)
    • Tetrahedral (109.5°)
    • Trigonal pyramidal
    • Bent
