Study Notes
Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
- Ionic Bonding: Transfer of valence electrons from one element to another, typically between metals and non-metals. Lewis structures are used to illustrate.
- Covalent Bonding: Sharing of valence electrons between two atoms to achieve a stable octet configuration. Single and double covalent bonds are shown in Lewis structures. Examples include Cl₂, H₂, O₂, N₂, and CH₄.
- Lewis Structures: Depict the arrangement of valence electrons in molecules and ions, showing bonding pairs and lone pairs.
- Formal Charge: The difference between the number of valence electrons in an isolated atom and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in a molecule. Calculated as: Valence Electrons - (Lone Pair Electrons + 1/2 Bonding Pair Electrons)
Ions
- Ammonium ion (NH₄⁺): Total valence electrons: 8. Lewis structure shows the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
- Carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻): Total valence electrons: 24. Lewis structure displays the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
- Nitrate ion (NO₃⁻): Total valence electrons: 24. Lewis structure shows the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
- Nitrite ion (NO₂⁻): Total valence electrons: 18. Lewis structure shows the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
- Ozone ion (O₃): Total valence electrons: 18. Lewis structure displays the arrangement of atoms and shared electrons.
Bond Parameters
- Bond Length: Distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms.
- Bond Energy: Energy required to break a chemical bond between two atoms.
- Bond Angle: Angle between two bonds that emanate from the same atom.
- Bond Order: Number of shared electron pairs between two atoms in a bond.
Resonance
- Molecules with multiple possible Lewis structures exhibit resonance. A hybrid structure represents the average of all possible structures, indicating delocalized electrons.
Polarity of Bonds
- Differences in electronegativity between bonded atoms can lead to polar covalent bonds. Shared electron pairs are drawn towards the more electronegative atom, creating partial charges (δ+ and δ-).
- Examples of polar covalent bonds include HF and HCl.
VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)
- The theory predicts the shapes of molecules based on the arrangement of bonding and non-bonding electron pairs around the central atom.
- Aims to minimize repulsion by arranging electron pairs as far apart as possible. Different geometries arise due to different numbers of bonding and lone electron pairs.
- Used to explain molecular shapes, including linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral geometries.
