What are ionic compounds?

Ionic compounds are formed when a metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged ion (cation) and a nonmetal atom gains electrons to become a negatively charged ion (anion). The opposite charges attract, forming a strong electrostatic bond.

Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?

They typically have high melting points because the electrostatic forces between ions are strong and require a lot of energy to overcome.

Why are ionic compounds hard?

They are generally hard because the tightly packed ions create a rigid structure.

Why are ionic compounds brittle?

Ionic compounds are brittle because any shift in the ion arrangement can cause similar charges to align, leading to repulsion and fracture.

When do ionic compounds conduct electricity?

Ionic compounds only conduct electricity when melted or dissolved because ions need to be free to move to carry the electrical charge.

What are covalent compounds?

Covalent compounds are formed when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Electrons are shared equally in nonpolar covalent bonds and unequally in polar covalent bonds.

Why do covalent compounds have lower melting points?

Covalent compounds generally have lower melting points than ionic compounds because there is a weaker attraction between molecules.

Why are covalent compounds poor conductors of electricity?

Covalent compounds don't conduct electricity well because they lack free-moving charged particles (ions or delocalized electrons).

What happens when an atom gains or loses an electron?

When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged (anion). When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged (cation).

What causes ionic bonding?

Oppositely charged ions (anion and cation) attract each other due to electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond. This attraction leads to the formation of a stable ionic compound.

How does LiCl form?

Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron and Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons. Lithium loses its valence electron becoming a positive ion (Li+), while Chlorine gains this electron, becoming a negative ion (Cl-) to achieve a stable octet in their outer shell.

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.
