Study Notes
Coulomb’s Law
- Coulomb’s Law is essential for understanding chemical bonding and chemical reactivity
- It describes the energy (attraction or repulsion) between two charged particles mathematically
- Positive energy indicates repulsion while negative energy indicates attraction
- The distance between the centers of the ions is represented by ‘R’
- ‘k’ is a constant that is assumed to be unchanging across different situations.
- If Q1 is positive and Q2 is negative, their product will be negative, which indicates an attractive interaction
- If Q1 and Q2 are both positive or both negative, their product will be positive, which indicates repulsive interaction
Chemical Bonding
- Compounds are made up of atoms or ions joined together by chemical bonds
- There are two main types of chemical bonding: ionic bonding and covalent bonding
- Ionic bonding involves ions joining together
- Covalent bonding involves neutral atoms joining together
- Understanding the formation of bonds requires revisiting the topic of electronic configurations
Achieving Chemical Stability
- Group 8A or 18 (Noble gases) elements are chemically stable
- Noble gases are chemically inert due to their s2p6 valence shell configurations, which represent a full outer shell (8)
- Noble gases neither give nor take electrons
- Elements react by either giving or taking electrons until they have a full outer shell (or an octet)
- This is known as the Octet Rule
Formation of NaCl
- Sodium's electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s1
- Chlorine's electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p5
- Sodium atoms have one 3s electron in its valence shell
- If sodium loses this electron, it will be left with a full n = 2 shell
- Losing one electron will leave sodium with a total charge of +1, forming Na+
- Chlorine atoms have an s2p5 valence shell
- If chlorine gains one electron, it will have a full n = 3 shell
- Gaining one electron will give chlorine a total charge of -1, forming Cl-
- The chlorine atom accepts the extra electron from sodium. This creates stability for both atoms.
Ionic Bond - NaCl
- An ionic bond is the force of attraction between positive and negative ions
- The Na atom gives its extra electron to the Cl atom
- This creates Na+ and Cl- ions
- These ions are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges
- All ions join together to form a large crystal lattice, which is the NaCl compound
- The key words for ionic bonding are ‘transfer of electrons.’
Ionic Bond - MgO
- The Mg atom has two 3s outermost electrons
- If Mg loses these two electrons, it will have a full n = 2 shell
- The O atom has 6 outermost electrons in the n = 2 shell
- Oxygen needs 2 more electrons to fill its n = 2 shell
- Therefore, the Mg atom gives 2 electrons to the O atom
- This results in Mg2+ and O2- ions
- Through Coulombic attraction of opposite charges, they join together to form the MgO crystal lattice
Ionic Bond - MgCl2
- The Mg atom needs to shed 2 electrons to have a full n = 2 shell
- Each Cl atom needs one electron to have a full n = 3 shell
- Therefore, the Mg atom gives one electron to each of the two Cl atoms
- This creates Mg2+ and two Cl- ions.
Crystal Lattice
- A crystal lattice is an alternate arrangement of positive and negative ions arranged in all three dimensions
- This forms a solid crystal (salt)
- Ionic bonds usually form from a metal and a nonmetal joining together
- Water solutions of ionic crystals conduct electricity
Lattice Energy and Coulomb’s Law
- The strength of ionic bonds depends on Coulomb’s Law, which states that the energy of attraction/repulsion is directly proportional to the product of the two charges, and indirectly proportional to the distance between their centers.
- Lattice energy is the attractive energy between two ions
- Lattice energy is directly related to the charges on the ions, with higher charges leading to stronger attractions
- Lattice energy is inversely related to the distance between the ions, with smaller ions leading to stronger attractions
- For example, The lattice energy decreases from NaF to NaI because the ionic charges are the same in all compounds, +1 for Na and -1 for the halogens, but the distance between the ions increase as we go from F to I
- The lattice energy for MgO is approximately 4 times as large as that of NaF because the product of the charges for MgO is -4, while the product for NaF is (+1)(-1) = -1
- The lattice energy for ScN is approximately 9 times as large as that of NaF because the charges are +3 and -3, resulting in a product of -9
Coulomb's Law
- Describes the energy of attraction or repulsion between two charged particles
- Represented by the mathematical equation: E = k(Q1Q2/d12)
- E = energy of attraction or repulsion
- k = constant
- Q1 and Q2 = charges of the particles
- d12 = distance between the centers of the two particles
- Positive E means repulsion, while negative E means attraction
Chemical Bonding
- Compounds are made up of atoms or ions joined together by chemical bonds
- Two types of chemical bonds:
- Ionic bonding: Involves ions joining together
- Covalent bonding: Involves neutral atoms joining together
Achieving Chemical Stability
- Group 8A or 18 (Noble gases) are chemically stable
- Noble gases are inert because they have s2p6 configurations, which means a full outer shell, or an octet of 8 electrons
- Elements react by giving or taking electrons until they have a full outer shell
- This is known as the Octet Rule
Formation of NaCl
- Sodium has 1 electron in its valence shell (3s1)
- Chlorine has 7 electrons in its valence shell (3s2, 3p5)
- Sodium donates its electron to chlorine, becoming Na+ and Cl- ions
Ionic Bond
- The force of attraction between positive and negative ions
- NaCl forms a crystal lattice when all ions join together
Ionic Bond - MgO
- Magnesium has 2 electrons in its valence shell (3s2)
- Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell (2s2, 2p4)
- Magnesium gives two electrons to oxygen, becoming Mg 2+ and O 2- ions
- The ions join together to form a MgO crystal lattice
Ionic Bond - MgCl2
- Magnesium needs to lose 2 electrons to have a full n = 2 shell.
- Chlorine needs 1 electron to have a full n = 3 shell.
- Magnesium donates one electron to each of the two chlorine atoms, resulting in Mg2+ and two Cl- ions.
Crystal Lattice
- An alternating arrangement of positive and negative ions in all three dimensions
- This forms a solid crystal, such as salt
- Ionic bonds usually form from a metal and a nonmetal joining together
- Water solutions of ionic crystals conduct electricity
Coulomb's Law and Lattice Energy
- The strength of ionic bonds depends on Coulomb's Law
- Lattice energy is the attractive energy between two ions
- Coulomb's Law can be used to explain the magnitude of lattice energies
- As the distance between ions increases, the lattice energy decreases
- Higher charges result in higher lattice energies
Summary
- Coulomb’s Law shows that opposite charges attract and like charges repel
- It can be expressed mathematically to show the energy of attraction/repulsion is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between their centers
- Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions
- These ions then join together to form crystalline structures called lattices
- The strength of ionic bonds depends on the charges of the ions and the distance between them, as described by Coulomb's Law.
