    What is metallic bonding?

    Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bond that occurs between metal atoms. It involves the delocalization of valence electrons, which are free to move throughout the metal lattice. This creates a "sea of electrons" that holds the positively charged metal ions together.

    Why are metals good conductors of electricity?

    The delocalized electrons in metallic bonding are free to move throughout the metal lattice. This means that they're not fixed to any particular metal atom and can easily carry an electric current.

    Why are metals malleable?

    The ability of metals to be hammered or bent into different shapes without breaking is known as malleability. In metallic bonding, the 'sea of electrons' allows metal atoms to slide past each other without disrupting the overall structure.

    Why are metals ductile?

    Metals are ductile, which means they can be drawn into wires without breaking. This property is also attributed to the 'sea of electrons' in metallic bonding, allowing metal atoms to move past each other while maintaining the overall structure.

    Why do metals have high melting and boiling points?

    Metallic bonding is characterized by the strong electrostatic attraction between the positively charged metal ions and the negatively charged 'sea of electrons'. This strong attraction contributes to the high melting and boiling points of metals.

    What are delocalized electrons?

    Delocalized electrons are electrons that are not associated with a specific atom but rather move freely throughout a material. They are responsible for the strong bonding and unique properties of metals, such as good electrical conductivity and malleability.

    What is the 'sea of electrons' model?

    The "sea of electrons" model describes metallic bonding by visualizing the delocalized electrons as a fluid-like sea that surrounds positively charged metal ions. This model helps explain the unique properties of metals, such as their good conductivity and malleability.

    Why are metals good conductors of heat?

    The electrons in metallic bonding are not bound to specific atoms, making metals good conductors of heat. The free-flowing electrons can easily transfer heat energy throughout the metal structure.

    Study Notes

    Moles and Formulae

    • To succeed with this topic, students need to be able to find atomic mass (A) from the periodic table and know basic arithmetic. They will also be able to calculate molecular mass (M) from A values, percentage composition by mass for a compound, moles from grams and grams to moles of a substance, empirical formulae and molecular formulae.

    Finding M (relative molecular mass or formula mass)

    • The Molecular Mass or Formula Mass (M) of a compound is found by adding the relative atomic masses (A) of the elements in the compound's formula, from the periodic table.
    • The small number outside brackets in a formula multiplies all elements inside the parentheses.

    Percentage composition of a compound

    • To calculate the percentage composition by mass of an element in a compound:
      • Calculate the relative formula mass (M) of the compound
      • Divide the total atomic mass of the given element by the overall M of the compound, then multiply by 100%

    Moles

    • A mole of a substance is 6.023 x 10²³ particles.
    • The Avogadro number (6.023 x 10²³) is the number of particles in 1 mole of a substance.
    • The mass of 1 mole of a substance (in grams) is equal to the relative atomic mass (A) or relative formula mass (M).

    Calculations with Moles

    • Number of moles = mass (g) / (A or M)
    • Mass (g) = moles x (A or M)
    • (A or M) = mass (g)/ moles

    Finding Empirical Formulae

    • There are several methods to calculate empirical formulae.

    Calculating Empirical Formula from Moles

    • Relative ratios of moles are equal to relative ratios of elements that make up the compound.

    Calculating Empirical Formula from Mass

    • Relative ratios of moles of elements to elements in the compound can be found by dividing the mass of each element concerned by its atomic mass (A) from the periodic table.

    Calculating Empirical Formula from Percentage Composition

    • The same method is used to calculate empirical formula from mass data.
    • Treat percentages as if they were masses, and use the atomic mass of the element (A) from the periodic table to convert the mass into moles.

    Calculating Empirical Formula from Combustion Data

    • Several steps are required here, starting with determining the masses of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) in the compound (from the mass of combustion products). After calculating moles of C and H, determine the elements ratio (e.g., 1 C : 2H) to find the empirical formula

    Moles and Equations

    • Understanding how to write formulae and balance chemical equations.

    • In general, a balanced chemical equation shows the same number of each type of atom on both sides.

    • Write names of the reactions then use their chemical formula to solve the calculations.

    • Use atomic masses on the periodic table to find the quantity of the substance/reaction.

    • Use the mole ratio together with the information provided in the question to obtain the quantity/volume as required in the question.

    Bonding

    • Atoms gain stability by attaining a complete outer shell of electrons, which is often achieved by losing or gaining electrons to form ions, or sharing electrons with other atoms.

    Intramolecular Bonding

    • Ionic bonding occurs when one atom gains one or more electrons and another loses one or more electrons to gain stability.
    • Covalent bonding occurs when atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons to achieve stability.
    • Metallic bonding occurs when atoms lose their valence electrons, forming a 'sea' of electrons that attract the positive metal ions, causing a solid.
    • Dative covalent/coordinate bonding is a special type of covalent bonding where both electrons in the shared pair bonding comes from the same atom.

    Intermolecular forces

    • Permanent dipole-dipole attraction occurs when polar molecules, where one side is positively charged and the other is negatively charged, are attracted to each other.
    • Hydrogen bonding is a special type of permanent dipole-dipole attraction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (O, N or F).
    • Temporary dipoles/Van der Waals forces exists due to electron movement on the atoms involved and results in a weak attraction between atoms/molecules.

    Other

    • Learn the common chemical formula, or use the periodic table to deduce the formula given by the name
    • When writing reactions use the correct state symbols for each substance to describe whether it is solid, liquid, aqueous, gas or aqueous (s),(l),(g),(aq)
