Study Notes
Covalent Bonding Concepts
- Coordinate Covalent Bond: Formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons, where both electrons come from only one atom.
- Nonpolar Covalent Bond: Occurs when two atoms share bonding electrons equally, leading to no charge separation.
- Polar Bond: Happens between atoms of different electronegativities, resulting in unequal sharing of electrons and partial charges.
Types of Bonds
- Hydrogen Bond: A weak bond that occurs when hydrogen, covalently bonded to an electronegative atom, is attracted to another electronegative atom's unshared electron pair.
- Double Covalent Bond: Involves two pairs of electrons shared between two atoms, with each atom contributing one pair.
- Triple Covalent Bond: Involves the sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms.
- Single Covalent Bond: Involves the sharing of one pair of electrons, as seen in molecules like F2.
Molecular and Structural Formulas
- Molecular Formula: Represents the types and quantities of atoms in a molecule of a compound (e.g., CO2 for carbon dioxide).
- Structural Formula: Illustrates the arrangement of atoms and the connections between them in molecules and polyatomic ions.
Molecular Interactions
- Dispersion Force: Caused by the motion of electrons, it represents the weakest type of intermolecular forces.
- Dipole Interactions: Arise from polar molecules and vary in strength; variations lead to differing states of matter (e.g., Cl gas, Br liquid, I solid).
Valence Electrons and Bonds
- Halogens: Each has seven valence electrons, crucial for bonding behavior.
- Polyatomic Ions: Example is the hydroxide ion (OH−) with a specific electron dot structure.
Compound Classification
- Covalent Compounds: Examples include CO2 and N2, which feature covalent bonding, while ionic compounds like KCl do not share electrons; they involve electrostatic attraction between charged ions.
- Network Solids: Substances in which all atoms are covalently bonded to one another; possess high melting points and unique properties.
Molecular Geometry
- Molecule Shape: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has a tetrahedral structure, impacting its physical and chemical properties.
- Lone Pairs of Electrons: Molecules like NH3 (ammonia) have a lone pair influencing their geometry and reactivity.
Additional Points
- Weakest Interactions: Among dipole interactions, dispersion forces are considered the weakest.
- Electron Dot Structures: Visualization of bonding, such as the structure of water (Hâ‚‚O) displays shared electrons graphically.
- Compounds Without Covalent Bonds: Examples like K2O highlight compounds solely composed of ionic bonds.
