Study Notes
Ionic Bonding
- Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a non-metal
- Electrons are transferred from the metal atom to the non-metal atom, resulting in the formation of ions
- The metal atom loses an electron to become a positively charged ion, while the non-metal atom gains an electron to become a negatively charged ion
- Examples of ionic bonding reactions include:
- Sodium + chlorine → sodium chloride
- Magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide
- Calcium + chlorine → calcium chloride
- Lithium + oxygen → lithium oxide
- Dot and cross diagrams can be used to visually represent the transfer of electrons during the formation of an ionic compound
Covalent Bonding
- Covalent bonds form when two non-metal atoms share electrons
- The electrons used in covalent bonding are the valence electrons
- Covalent bonds are strong, but can be broken with a significant amount of energy
- Substances with covalent bonds often form molecules with low melting and boiling points
- Atoms can form multiple covalent bonds with other atoms
- The number of covalent bonds an atom can form is equal to eight minus the group number
Metallic Bonding
- Metals form giant structures in which electrons in the outer shells are free to move, holding the metal together
- The metallic bond is the force of attraction between the delocalized electrons and positive metal ions
- Metallic bonds are strong, resulting in high melting and boiling points
- Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat due to the movement of delocalized electrons
- The more free-moving electrons a metal has, the stronger the force of attraction between the metal atoms
Dot and Cross Diagrams
- Dot and cross diagrams are used to show how electrons form covalent bonds
- Only the electrons on the outer shell (valence electrons) are shown in the diagram
- Lewis dot and cross diagrams show the electronic structures of the elements and how the electrons are paired/bonded
- Each dot or cross in the diagram represents an electron
- A pair of dots and crosses between multiple chemical symbols for atoms represents the bonds
