Study Notes

Covalent Bonds

  • Covalent bonds occur through equal or unequal sharing of electrons between atoms.
  • Compounds classified as covalent include HCl (hydrogen chloride).

Valence Electrons and Bond Formation

  • Atoms with five valence electrons can generally form four covalent bonds.
  • Hydrogen typically forms only one covalent bond.

Molecular Structures

  • Chloroethylene (C2H3Cl) has a Lewis structure comprising a total of 18 electrons.
  • Phosphorus in PH3 exhibits a trigonal pyramidal molecular shape.

Chemical Naming and Formulas

  • NO2 is named nitrogen dioxide.
  • Carbon tetrachloride is designated as CCl4.

Polar Bonds

  • The least polar bond listed is C-C.

Lewis Structures and Properties

  • In formaldehyde's Lewis structure, a statement claiming that two electrons are shared between carbon and oxygen is incorrect.

Reaction Classifications

  • The decomposition reaction is represented by the equation: 2 PbSO4 → 2 PbSO3 + O2.
  • A double displacement reaction is exemplified by: 3 Ca(OH)2 + Al2(SO4)3 → 3 CaSO4 + 2 Al(OH)3.

Balanced Equations

  • The properly balanced equation for the reaction involving sulfur dioxide and water to form sulfuric acid is: 2 SO2 + O2 + 2 H2O → 2 H2SO4.

Moles and Chemical Yield

  • In a reaction producing Al2(SO4)3 from H2SO4, 177 grams of Al2(SO4)3 are generated from 152 grams of H2SO4.
  • Actual yield derived from theoretical yield (10.5 g with 75.5% yield) is 7.93 g.

Percent Yield

  • Percent yield from 2.55 mol of sodium producing 75.0 g of Na2O is calculated to be 94.9%.

Production of Compounds

  • From 0.480 moles of Sn and 0.720 moles of HF, a maximum of 0.360 moles of SnF2 can be produced.

Redox Reactions

  • In the reaction 2 I- + Cl2 → 2 Cl- + I2, I- is oxidized while Cl2 is reduced.
  • In the reaction 2 Cu + S → Cu2S, each copper atom loses one electron.

Balancing Chemical Equations

  • KClO3 decomposition yields an equation with six atoms of oxygen on both sides when balanced.
