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.

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.
