Study Notes

Bonding Unit

A chemical bond is an electrostatic attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms.
Electrons are the subatomic particles involved in bonding.
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.
Electrons are located outside the nucleus.
An orbital is the region where electrons are most likely to be found.
Valence shell is the outermost energy level.
Valence electrons are the electrons located in the valence shell.
Atoms with the same number of valence electrons behave similarly.
Atoms in the same group on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons and therefore will bond/react similarly.
The maximum number of valence electrons is 8 (octet rule)
Atoms bond to become more stable.
An atom is stable when it has a full valence shell.
Noble gases/inert gases/group 18 are stable.

Types of Bonds

Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between atoms.
Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms.
Metallic bonds form when electrons are shared in a "sea" of freely moving electrons.
Ionic bonding exists in ionic compounds.
In ionic compounds the positive and negative ions combine in a ratio so the total number of positive charges equals the total number of negative charges.
Key terms for ionic : "Transfer of Electrons", "Salts", "Crystal Lattice Structures".
Metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
The number of electrons lost by the metal(s) must equal the number of electrons gained by the nonmetal(s).
A binary compound is a compound composed of only two elements.
Ternary compounds are compounds that are composed of three or more elements.
Compounds are neutral.
Ions are charged particles.
Cations are positively charged ions
Anions are negatively charged ions
The electronegativity difference between the electronegativity values of the atoms within the compound determines covalent bond type.
A bond is considered ionic when the electronegativity difference is greater than or equal to 1.7.
The bigger the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond.
The smaller the difference in electronegativity, the less polar the bond.

Bond Formation

Energy is released when a bond is formed.
Energy is absorbed to break a bond.
Atoms bond to lower their potential energy.

Covalent Bonds

In covalent bonds electrons are shared between atoms
Covalent bonds generally form between nonmetals.
A covalent bond will have partial positive and negative charges if the electronegativity values of the atoms are not equal.
A covalent bond involves two or more atoms sharing electrons to fill their valence shells.
Nonpolar covalent bonds share electrons equally
Polar covalent bonds share electrons unequally.
Each type of covalent bond has a bond dissociation energy (strength) and a certain length.
A molecule with polar bonds will be polar only if its shape is asymmetrical and will not cancel out the dipoles that are present.
A molecule with polar bonds will be nonpolar only if its shape is symmetrical and the dipoles will cancel out.

Polyatomic Ions

Polyatomic ions are charged groups of covalently bonded atoms.
Polyatomic ions have a charge that applies to the entire group of atoms.
The names of polyatomic ions remain constant.
Keep the name that is on the table (table E).
When there is no number next to the charge, the number is really 1.
Ternary ionic compounds will always have one polyatomic ion and another monatomic ion or two polyatomic ions.

Naming Compounds

Use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element.
Use the stock system (with roman numerals) if the metal can have more than one oxidation state.
Binary and ternary compounds have different naming conventions.

Intermolecular Forces

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction between molecules that exist between neighboring molecules.
There are three types of intermolecular forces:
Dispersion forces (or London dispersion forces): weak intermolecular forces that keep nonpolar molecules from being a gas at low temps.
Dipole-dipole forces: stronger than dispersion forces, occurring when the positive end of one dipole is attracted to the negative end of a nearby dipole.
Hydrogen bonds: strongest type of dipole-dipole attraction, where H is attracted to an electronegative atom (F, O, or N).
The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point.

Molecule Polarity

Molecule polarity is determined both by the polarity of the individual bonds and the molecular geometry.
If the dipoles cancel, the molecule is nonpolar.
If the dipoles do not cancel, the molecule is polar.
Like dissolves like (nonpolar dissolves nonpolar, polar dissolves polar, ionic dissolves polar).

Metallic Bonding

Metals have a "sea" of freely moving electrons.
Metals are excellent conductors in any phase because of free moving electrons.
Ionic solids do not conduct in a solid phase and do not conduct in the solid phase because of fixed ions.
