    Study Notes

    Covalent Bonds

    • Formed between nonmetals, facilitating electron sharing.
    • Valence electrons reside in the s and p orbitals.

    Compounds

    • Silicon dioxide: Chemical formula SiO2.
    • Dinitrogen trioxide: Chemical formula N2O3.
    • Iodine trichloride: Chemical formula ICl3.

    Electron Sharing

    • One single covalent bond involves the sharing of 2 electrons (2 shared electrons).
    • A double covalent bond consists of sharing 4 electrons (2 pairs).

    Ionic vs. Covalent Bonding

    • Ionic bonding: Complete transfer of electrons results in metal cations and nonmetal anions.
    • Covalent bonding: Involves sharing electrons without forming ions.

    Valence Electrons

    • Halogens in Group 17 have 7 valence electrons.
    • Valence electrons designate the outermost energy level, crucial for bonding.

    Compounds Classification

    • Al2O3: Ionic compound (metal aluminum + nonmetal oxygen).
    • NH3: Molecular compound formed by nonmetals sharing electrons.
    • Br (Bromine): An atom of a single element, not a compound unless in diatomic form (Br2).

    Characteristics of Combustion

    • Reactants: Molecules of carbon and hydrogen react with O2.
    • Products: Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are formed.

    Additional Information

    • Calcium (Ca) + Fluorine (F) leads to CaF2, classified as an ionic compound (Ca is a metal, F is a nonmetal).
    • Hydrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.

    Lewis Structures

    • Anticipate questions regarding bonds based on Lewis structures provided in the quizlet.
