Study Notes
Chemical Bonds
- A chemical bond is a strong attractive force that exists between atoms in a molecule.
- An ionic bond is formed through electrostatic forces between ions of opposite charge.
- Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms.
- Metallic bonds occur in solid metals where bonding electrons can move freely throughout the structure.
Valence Electrons and Lewis Symbols
- Valence electrons are crucial as they are involved in chemical bonding.
- A Lewis symbol represents an element's chemical symbol with dots indicating valence electrons.
Octet Rule
- The octet rule suggests that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve eight valence electrons surrounding them.
Lattice Energy
- Lattice energy is the energy required to separate a mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions.
- The equation for electrostatic energy is Eel=κQ₁Q₂/d, where charges and distance between the ions are considered.
- The constant κ is approximately 8.99 x 10⁹ J-m/C².
- Lattice energy increases with greater ionic charge and smaller ionic radii.
Transition Metals and Ionic Formation
- Transition metals lose electrons from their s shell first.
- The formation of ions is usually an exothermic process.
Born-Haber Cycle
- The Born-Haber Cycle is a thermodynamic framework that relates lattice energy to enthalpy of formation and other measurable quantities.
Lewis Structures and Covalent Bonds
- Lewis structures represent covalent bonding in molecules using Lewis symbols.
- A single bond involves one electron pair, a double bond involves two, and a triple bond involves three electron pairs.
- Bond length refers to the distance between the nuclei of bonded atoms, which decreases as the number of shared electron pairs increases.
Electronegativity Patterns
- Electronegativity increases across a period due to increased effective nuclear charge (Zeff), drawing electrons closer to the nucleus.
- Electronegativity decreases down a group primarily due to increased shielding from inner electrons.
Electronegativity Ranges
- Ionic character: greater than 2.0
- Polar covalent character: between 1.0 and 2.0
- Moderately polar covalent: between 0.4 and 1.0
- Nonpolar covalent: less than 0.4
Electronegativity Highlights
- Fluorine is known as the most electronegative element, often referred to as the "queen" of electronegativity.
