Study Notes

Compounds and Chemical Bonds

  • Compounds are formed when elements combine, exhibiting properties different from the constituent elements (e.g., Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water).
  • Chemical bonds are attractions between atoms that arise from protons’ attraction to electrons.

Types of Chemical Bonds

  • Three types of bonding: Ionic, Covalent, and Metallic.
  • Ionic bonds occur between metals and nonmetals, involving electron transfer and resulting in charged ions (cations and anions).
  • Covalent bonds form between nonmetals through mutual attraction for shared electrons, where electron sharing occurs.

Characteristics of Ionic and Covalent Bonds

  • Ionic compounds are characterized by the transfer of electrons, considerable differences in properties from elemental components.
  • Covalent bonding involves a balance of attractive forces (between nuclei and electrons) and repulsive forces (within electrons and protons).

Formulas and Representations

  • Chemical formulas indicate the composition and stoichiometry of substances (e.g., C2H6O for ethanol).
  • Types of chemical formulas: Molecular (exact atom count), Empirical (simplest ratio), Structural (connections between atoms).

Models and Molecules

  • Molecular models include ball-and-stick and space-filling models, providing visual representation of molecular structure.
  • Diatomic molecules consist of pairs of the same atom (e.g., N2, O2), while polyatomic molecules involve multiple atoms (e.g., P4).

Ionic vs. Molecular Compounds

  • Ionic compounds contain metal and nonmetal components, while molecular compounds involve nonmetals connected by covalent bonds.

Predicting and Naming Ionic Compounds

  • Ionic compounds can form from combinations of metal, nonmetal, or polyatomic ions, achieving a net charge of zero.
  • Common oxidation states: Alkali metals (+1), Alkaline earth metals (+2), Halogens (-1), Aluminum (+3), and varied states for other nonmetals.

Common Polyatomic Ions

  • Examples include Acetate (C2H3O2-), Carbonate (CO32-), Hydroxide (OH-), and Nitrate (NO3-), among others.

Naming Conventions

  • Ionic compounds with alkali/alkaline earth metals are named using the metal's cation name followed by the nonmetal's anion name in -ide.
  • For transition metals, metal oxidation states are indicated with Roman numerals.
  • Hydrates involve an ionic compound and water; named using prefixes indicating the number of water molecules.

Naming Hydrate Compounds

  • The number of water molecules in hydrates is prefixed (e.g., hexahydrate for six water molecules).

Molecular Compound Naming

  • Named based on the most metallic nonmetal first, followed by the second nonmetal with an -ide ending, incorporating prefixes to indicate quantities.

Acids

  • Acids release hydrogen ions in water, characterized by a sour taste and low pH values. Examples include hydrochloric acid (HCl).

Determining Molecular Formulas

  • To determine molecular formulas, calculate the mole ratio from elemental composition to find the empirical formula.
