    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.
