    Study Notes

    Covalent Bonds and Molecules

    • Covalent Bond: Formed by sharing valence electrons; typically between nonmetals.
    • Molecule: Group of two or more atoms bonded covalently; lower potential energy than individual atoms.
    • Multiple Bonds: Atoms share more than one pair of electrons for noble gas configuration.
    • Single Bonds: involve sharing one pair of electrons (sigma bond).
    • Bond Strength: Related to bond length; shorter bonds are generally stronger (e.g., double and triple bonds).

    Ionic Compounds and Their Representation

    • Formula Unit: Represents the simplest ratio of ions in an ionic compound.
    • Nomenclature: Uses prefixes for compounds formed from nonmetals, diverging from ionic compound rules.

    Structural Representations

    • Lewis Structure: Visual representation of electron arrangements in molecules using dots and lines.
    • Structural Formula: Depicts relative atom positions using symbols and bonds; derived from Lewis structures.

    Types of Bonds

    • Sigma Bond: First bond formed between atoms through direct orbital overlap.
    • Pi Bond: Formed by parallel orbital overlap when electrons are shared.
    • Coordinate Covalent Bond: Created when one atom donates a pair of electrons for bonding.

    Energetics of Reactions

    • Exothermic Reaction: More energy released than needed for bond-breaking; heat released.
    • Endothermic Reaction: More energy required to break bonds than what is released during bond formation; heat absorbed.

    Electron Pair Arrangement and Bond Angles

    • VSEPR Model: Predicts molecular shape based on minimizing electron pair repulsion.
    • Bond Angles:
      • Linear: 180 degrees
      • Bent: 104.5 degrees
      • Trigonal Planar: 120 degrees
      • Trigonal Pyramid: 107.3 degrees
      • Tetrahedral: 109.5 degrees

    Electronegativity and Bond Polarity

    • Electronegativity Scale:
      • Non-polar Covalent (0 - 0.4)
      • Polar Covalent (0.5 - 1.6)
      • Ionic (≥1.7)
    • Polar Covalent Bond: Electrons are not shared equally between atoms.

    Exceptions to the Octet Rule

    • Odd Number of Valence Electrons: Causes difficulty in achieving a stable state.
    • Sub-Octet: Central atom has fewer than eight electrons but is satisfied.
    • Expanded Octet: Central atom has more than eight electrons but maintains stability.

    Hybridization

    • Hybridization Processes: Mixing of atomic orbitals to form hybrid orbitals.
    • Types:
      • sp: From s²
      • sp²: From s²p¹
      • sp³: From s²p²

    Additional Key Terms and Concepts

    • Bond Dissociation Energy: Energy needed to break a bond; higher for stronger bonds.
    • Diatomic Molecules: Consist of two atoms; can be the same or different elements (Br, I, N, Cl, H, O, F).
    • Binary Acids: Named with the prefix hydro- and using -ic suffix for -ate and -ous for -ite in oxyacids.

    Common Prefixes for Molecular Compounds

    • Mono-: 1
    • Di-: 2
    • Tri-: 3
    • Tetra-: 4
    • Penta-: 5
    • Hexa-: 6
    • Hepta-: 7
    • Octa-: 8
    • Nona-: 9
    • Deca-: 10
