Study Notes
Bonding
- Ionic Bonding: Ionic bonds form between oppositely charged ions. Positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) attract each other due to electrostatic forces creating a giant lattice structure. Common examples involve metals from Groups I and VII.
-
Properties of Ionic Compounds:
- High melting and boiling points due to strong electrostatic forces.
- Good electrical conductivity in molten or aqueous states, but poor in solid state (ions are fixed in place).
- Generally soluble in water.
- Covalent Bonding: Covalent bonds form when atoms share electron pairs to achieve a stable electron configuration (similar to noble gases). The shared electrons are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms, holding them together. This type of bonding occurs in simple molecules.
-
Properties of Simple Molecular Compounds:
- Low melting and boiling points due to weak intermolecular forces.
- Poor electrical conductivity in all states due to no mobile charge carriers.
-
Giant Covalent Structures: Giant covalent structures are formed when atoms are covalently bonded together in a continuous network.
Diamond (hard and high melting point) and graphite (soft and lubricant) are examples of such structures. - Metallic Bonding: Positive metal ions are held in a lattice surrounded by a 'sea' of delocalized electrons. These mobile electrons allows for good electrical and thermal conductivity, ductility and malleability, as well as high melting points.
- Formulas: Chemical formulas represent the ratio of atoms in a molecule (simple molecular) or the relative numbers of ions (ionic). Use valencies to obtain the correct formula.
Formulas
- Chemical formulas represent the ratio of atoms in a molecule (simple molecular) or the relative numbers of ions (ionic).
- Use valencies to obtain the correct formula. The charges will cancel out.
Relative Atomic Mass
- Defined as the average mass of atoms of an element compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
Redox
- Oxidation: Gain of oxygen/loss of electrons, an increase in oxidation number.
- Reduction: Loss of oxygen/gain of electrons, a decrease in oxidation number.
- Redox reactions involve both oxidation and reduction occurring simultaneously.
Moles
- A mole is a unit of measurement for the amount of substance (6.02 x 10²³ particles).
- Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance in grams.
- The molar mass of a compound equals the sum of the relative atomic masses (Ar) of the component atoms.
- Moles = mass / molar mass
