Study Notes
Coulomb's Law
- Explains the attractive or repulsive energy between two charged particles.
- Positive energy signifies repulsion, while negative energy represents attraction.
- The energy is directly proportional to the product of the charges and indirectly proportional to the distance between them.
Chemical Bonding
- Bonds are formed by atoms or ions joining together.
- Ionic bonding involves ions joining together.
- Covalent bonding involves neutral atoms joining together.
Achieving Chemical Stability
- Group 8A or 18 elements (Noble gases) are chemically stable due to their full outer shell (s2p6 configuration).
- Elements react to gain or lose electrons until they have a full outer shell, usually an octet (8 electrons).
- This is known as the Octet Rule.
Formation of NaCl
- Sodium (Na) has one electron in its valence shell, losing it results in a full n=2 shell and a +1 charge (Na+). It becomes isoelectronic with Neon.
- Chlorine (Cl) has 7 electrons in its valence shell, gaining one electron results in a full n=3 shell and a -1 charge (Cl-). It becomes isoelectronic with Argon.
- Sodium transfers its extra electron to Chlorine, forming an ionic bond.
Ionic Bond - NaCl
- Ionic bonds are formed by the force of attraction between positive and negative ions.
- Sodium and Chlorine ions form a crystal lattice structure as the compound NaCl (salt).
- The key to ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons.
Ionic Bond - MgO
- Magnesium (Mg) has two electrons in its valence shell, losing them results in a full n=2 shell and a +2 charge (Mg2+). It becomes isoelectronic with Neon.
- Oxygen (O) has 6 electrons in its valence shell, gaining two electrons results in a full n=2 shell and a -2 charge (O2-). It becomes isoelectronic with Neon.
- Magnesium transfers two electrons to Oxygen, forming an ionic bond.
Ionic Bond - MgCl2
- Magnesium (Mg) has two electrons in its valence shell, losing them results in a full n=2 shell and a +2 charge (Mg2+). It becomes isoelectronic with Neon.
- Chlorine (Cl) has 7 electrons in its valence shell, gaining one electron results in a full n=3 shell and a -1 charge (Cl-). It becomes isoelectronic with Argon.
- Magnesium transfers one electron to each of the two Chlorine atoms, forming an ionic bond.
Crystal Lattice
- An alternating arrangement of positive and negative ions in three dimensions.
- Forms a solid crystal, like salt.
- Water solutions of ionic crystals conduct electricity.
Lattice Energy and Coulomb's Law
- The strength of ionic bonds depends on Coulomb's Law: Q₁Q₂/d₁₂
- Lattice energy is the attractive energy between two ions.
- Larger charges and smaller distances between ions result in stronger attractions and higher lattice energies.
Summary
- Coulomb's Law explains the attractive and repulsive forces between charged particles.
- Ionic bonding occurs through the transfer of electrons, forming cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions).
- Ionic compounds often form crystal lattices.
- Lattice energy is influenced by the charges and distances between ions, as described by Coulomb's Law.
