Study Notes

Types of Compounds

  • Ionic compounds: crystalline solids with high melting points, composed of positively and negatively charged ions arranged in repeating three-dimensional patterns
  • Molecular compounds: composed of molecules, with lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds

Bonds

  • Covalent bond: atoms held together by sharing electrons
  • Ionic bond: formed by the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions
  • Single covalent bond: formed by sharing a pair of electrons
  • Double covalent bond: formed by sharing two pairs of electrons
  • Triple covalent bond: formed by sharing three pairs of electrons

Molecular Structure

  • Molecule: neutral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds
  • Molecular formula: shows how many atoms of each element a molecule contains
  • Electron dot structure: represents the shared pair of electrons of the covalent bond by two dots
  • Structural formula: represents the covalent bonds by dashes and shows the arrangement of covalently bonded atoms
  • Lone pair or unshared pair of electrons: a pair of valence electrons that is not shared between atoms

Octet Rule

  • Octet rule: electron sharing occurs so that atoms attain the electron configuration of noble gases
  • Exceptions to the octet rule: 1. odd number of valence electrons, 2. less than 8 electrons around the central atom, 3. more than 8 electrons around the central atom ("expanded octet")

Molecular Orbitals

  • Molecular orbitals: when two atoms combine, their atomic orbitals overlap to produce molecular orbitals
  • Bonding orbital: a molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond
  • Sigma bond: when two atomic orbitals combine to form a molecular orbital that is symmetrical around the axis connecting two atomic nuclei
  • Pi bond: when a pi molecular orbital is filled with two electrons

Intermolecular Forces

  • Intermolecular forces: attractive forces that hold particles together, weaker than ionic or covalent bonds
  • Van der Waals forces: weak forces that result from temporary shifts in the density of electrons in electron clouds
  • London forces: weak forces that result from temporary shifts in the density of electrons in electron clouds, weakest type of intermolecular force
  • Dipole-dipole forces: attraction between oppositely charged regions of polar molecules, stronger than London forces
  • Hydrogen bonds: attraction between hydrogen and highly electronegative atoms (F, O, N)

Bond Dissociation Energy

  • Bond dissociation energy: the amount of energy required to break a covalent bond
  • Bond length: the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms
  • Relationship between bond length and bond dissociation energy: the shorter the bond length, the higher the bond dissociation energy
