Study Notes
Covalent Bond Details
- A coordinate bond (also called a dative covalent bond) is a type of covalent bond
- In a coordinate bond, one atom donates both electrons to the bond
- Atoms donate a lone pair of electrons to another atom needing electrons
- Examples include ammonia (where nitrogen donates a lone pair)
- Coordinate bonds are often found in coordination compounds
- These compounds have a central metal ion surrounded by ligands
- Coordinate bonds generally have a higher bond length compared to standard covalent bonds
- Coordinate bonds can be considered as Lewis acid-base reactions: a Lewis base is an electron donor and a Lewis acid is an electron acceptor
- Examples of compounds containing coordinate bonds include O3, SO3, and H2SO4
Ionic Bond Formation
- An ionic bond forms when one or more electrons are transferred between atoms
- This transfer results in the formation of ions with opposite charges
- Metals lose electrons to become positively charged ions (cations)
- Nonmetals gain electrons to become negatively charged ions (anions)
- Oppositely charged ions attract each other, forming the ionic bond
- Example 1: Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
- Sodium (Na) loses one electron to become Na+
- Chlorine (Cl) gains one electron to become Cl-
- Na+ and Cl- ions attract, forming an ionic bond
- Example 2: Calcium Oxide (CaO)
- Calcium (Ca) loses two electrons to become Ca2+
- Ionic bonds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Electronic Theory of Valence
- The electronic theory of valence was proposed by Kossel and Lewis in 1916
- They proposed a logical explanation of valence based on the inertness of noble gases
- Octet rule: atoms achieve stability by having 8 electrons in their outermost shell (octet)
- During bond formation, atoms lose, gain or share electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration
Occurrence of Metal
- Metals can be found in nature in both free and combined states
- Free state: metals like gold, silver, and platinum exist in their elemental forms. Metals that are less reactive or noble are in free state.
- Combined state: most metals are reactive and exist in combined states, often as compounds in minerals and ores
Metallurgy
- Metallurgy is a process for extracting metals from their ores
- Basic concepts include:
- Minerals: naturally occurring inorganic compounds
- Ores: minerals containing a metal that can be extracted economically
- Gangue: impurities present in the ore
- Flux: a substance used to remove impurities
- Slag: waste material produced during extraction
- Alloys: mixtures of two or more metals
- Stages of metallurgy include concentration, extraction, and refining
Chemical Processes (Calcination and Roasting)
-
Calcination: Heating the ore in the absence, or limited supply of air
- Removing moisture or other volatile materials
- Decomposing ores Example: Heating Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) to Calcium Oxide (CaO) and releasing Carbon Dioxide gas (CO2)
- Type of Ore: Calcium Carbonate
-
Roasting: Heating the ore in the presence of air
- Converting the metal compounds into oxides, often in the presence of air.
- Usually for sulphide ores. Removing sulphur impurities. Example: Heating a sulphide ore to produce an oxide
Electro-Magnetic Separation
- Electro-magnetic separation is a method for separating magnetic and non magnetic materials
- Non-magnetic materials are separated from magnetic materials.
- The magnetic materials are attracted to the magnetic field.
Gravity Separation
- Gravity separation is a method for separating components in mixture based on their/specific densities
- The method utilizes the difference in specific gravities
- Heavier components sink to the bottom and lighter components rise to the top
Names of Ores and Formulas
- Several ores and their corresponding chemical formulas are listed.
