    Study Notes

    Chemical Bonding

    •  Chemical bonding is the joining of atoms to form molecules or ionic compounds.
    •  Different types of bonds form based on how atoms share or transfer electrons.
    •  Elements like to achieve a stable electron configuration, often following the octet rule (except for hydrogen, which only needs two electrons).

    Ionic Bonding

    •  Ionic bonds form when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
    •  This transfer creates positively charged cations and negatively charged anions.
    •  The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions holds them together in a crystal lattice structure.
    •  Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations and nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form anions.
    •  Ionic compounds are typically solids with high melting and boiling points.

    Covalent Bonding

    •  Covalent bonds form when nonmetal atoms share electrons.
    •  Atoms share electrons to achieve a more stable configuration.
    •  Covalent compounds are often gases or liquids, and tend to have lower melting and boiling points, as opposed to ionic compounds.

    Lewis Dot Diagrams

    •  Lewis dot diagrams represent valence electrons as dots.
    •  They show the bonding between atoms in a covalent molecule.
    • Each dot represents a valence electron.
    • Hydrogen, with one valence electron , will form only one bond. Nonmetal atoms and ions will form bonds until they achieve a full valence electron shell

    Naming Ionic Compounds and Covalent Molecules

    •  Ionic compound names consist of the cation's name followed by the anion's name (ex. sodium chloride ).
    •  Transitions metals often require a Roman numeral to indicate the cation's charge (ex. Iron(II) oxide).
    •  Covalent molecule names use prefixes to specify the number of each atom (ex. carbon dioxide).
    •  The prefixes indicate the number of each element, (Mono (1), Di(2), tri(3), Tetra(4) , Penta(5) , Hexa(6), Hepta(7), Octa(8), Nona(9), and Deca(10)).

    Polarity

    •  A polar bond occurs when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally.
    •  A polar covalent molecule has areas of partial positive and negative charge.
    •  The polarity of a molecule affects its interactions with other molecules.
    •  Polar molecules are more soluble in water than nonpolar molecules.
    •  Elements with large electronegativity differences create a strong polar bond, such as Hydrogen and Fluorine.

    Intermolecular Forces

    •  Intermolecular forces hold molecules together and determine many of their properties.
    •  These forces are weaker than covalent or ionic bonds.
    •  The three main types are: London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding.

    Summary

    •  Ionic compounds are hard, brittle solids with high melting points.
    •  Covalent compounds can be gases, liquids, or solids with low melting points. Polar covalent compounds are often soluble in water.
    •  Bonding in all types of compounds depends on the electronegativity of the elements involved and how they interact with each other.
