    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • All materials are built from atoms
    • There is a relationship between the atomic structure and the properties of a material
    • The arrangement of atoms in a solid affects its properties
    • Atoms combine to determine the microscopic structure of a solid

    Joining Atoms Together

    • When two atoms are brought together, they may link to form a molecule
    • Any bonds that form are called primary bonds
    • The degree of interaction between atoms depends on the type of bond forming
    • Three main phases of matter: solids, liquids, gases
    • Solids have their own distinct structure and associated properties
    • In solids, the movement of atoms is limited to local vibration

    Types of Primary Bonds

    • There are three types of primary bonds: covalent, ionic, and metallic

    Covalent Bonds

    • The bond is the simplest and strongest
    • Atoms share electrons to achieve an inert gas configuration
    • The electrons are shared equally or unequally depending on the electronegativity of the atoms forming the bond
    • Covalent bonds usually form between similar elements

    Ionic Bonds

    • Formed when an electron is transferred from one atom to another
    • The positively charged ion is attracted to the negatively charged ion
    • The electrostatic force holds the ions together
    • Formed between dissimilar elements

    Metallic Bonds

    • The atoms in a metallic solid are held together by a cloud of electrons
    • The electrons move freely among the atoms, creating a strong bond
    • Usually formed between similar elements
    • The electrons are delocalized

    Secondary Bonding

    • Occurs when two or more atoms share electrons
    • Creates weak bonds called van der Waals forces
    • Molecules can interact with one another
    • Occur due to the numerous dipole-dipole interactions between molecules
