Study Notes
Ionization Enthalpy
- Ionization enthalpy is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous isolated atom in its ground state.
- It is always positive, meaning energy is required to remove an electron.
- The second ionization enthalpy is higher than the first because it is more difficult to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than from a neutral atom.
- Moving down a group, first ionization energy decreases due to electrons being further from the nucleus, shielding effect from inner electrons, and a weaker attractive force between the nucleus and the outermost electron.
- Moving across a period, first ionization energy increases because the atomic radius decreases, putting the outer electrons closer to the nucleus, resulting in a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electron.
Electron Gain Enthalpy
- The amount of energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom.
- Energy can be released or absorbed during the addition of an electron.
Electronegativity
- The tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
- Generally increases from left to right across a period due to an increase in nuclear charge.
- Alkali metals have the lowest electronegativity, while halogens have the highest.
- Generally decreases from top to bottom within a group due to the larger atomic size.
- Fluorine has the highest electronegativity (EN = 4.0) and Caesium the lowest (EN = 0.79).
Periodicity of Valence or Oxidation States
- Moving left to right across a period, the number of valence electrons increases from 1 to 8.
- The valency of elements increases from 1 to 4 and then decreases to zero when combined with H or O.
- Oxidation state represents the charge possessed by an atom due to the loss or gain of electrons in the molecule.
- Moving down a group, the number of valence electrons remains constant, meaning all elements in a group have the same valency.
Anomalous Properties of Second Period Elements
- Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Fluorine have slightly different periodic properties compared to the rest of their respective group elements.
- The reason for these anomalous properties is the small size of these atoms, high electronegativity, large charge/radius ratio, and only 4 valence orbitals for bonding (2s and 2p).
Chemical Bonding
- Molecules of chemical substances are made of two or more atoms joined together by some force, referred to as a chemical bond.
- Five types of chemical bonds:
- Ionic/Electrovalent Bond
- Covalent Bond
- Coordinate Covalent Bond
- Metallic Bond
- Hydrogen Bond
Ionic/Electrovalent Bond
- Formed by the transfer of an electron from one atom to another.
- Electrostatic attraction between the cation (+) and anion (-) constitutes an ionic bond.
- Conditions for formation:
- Number of valence electrons
- Net lowering of energy
- Electronegativity difference between atoms
- Characteristics:
- Solids at room temperature
- High melting points
- Hard and brittle
- Soluble in water
- Conductors of electricity
- Do not exhibit isomerism
- Fast ionic reactions
Covalent Bond
- Two atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration in their outer shell.
- The shared pair of electrons constitutes a covalent bond.
- Attractive force between atoms created by sharing an electron-pair.
- Conditions for formation:
- Number of valence electrons
- Equal electronegativity
- Conditions for formation
Coordinate Covalent Bond
- A special type of covalent bond where both electrons of the shared pair come from the same atom.
- The atom that donates the electron pair is called the donor, and the atom that accepts the electron pair is called the acceptor.
Metallic Bond
- Found in metals.
- A type of chemical bond where valence electrons are delocalized and free to move throughout the metal lattice.
- Results in a strong attraction between the positive ions and the sea of delocalized electrons.
Hydrogen Bond
- A special type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs between a hydrogen atom covalently linked to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) and an electron pair on an adjacent atom.
- Responsible for the high boiling point of water and the structure of DNA and proteins.
