Study Notes
Types of Bonds
- Covalent bonds form by sharing electrons, allowing atoms to achieve an octet configuration.
- Ionic bonds arise from the transfer of valence electrons between atoms, typically involving a metal and a non-metal.
Intermolecular Forces
- Forces between molecules with the same kind of atoms are known as dispersion forces or London forces.
- Dipole-dipole interactions occur between polar molecules, especially significant in those containing hydrogen bonded to nitrogen, fluorine, or oxygen.
- Hydrogen bonds are a specific type of dipole-dipole interaction, particularly strong, occurring in polar molecules with hydrogen and electronegative atoms (N, O, F).
States of Matter
- In gases, particles are very distant from each other, leading to low density and high compressibility.
- Liquids have closer particle arrangements, but still allow for movement; surface tension results from attractive forces causing the liquid’s surface to contract.
Electronegativity and Bonding
- Nonpolar covalent bonds exist between atoms with similar electronegativities, resulting in equal sharing of electrons.
- Polar covalent bonds occur when atoms with slightly different electronegativities share electrons unequally, creating a dipole.
Surface Tension
- The force that causes the surface of a liquid to contract, making it act as if covered by a stretchy membrane, is known as surface tension.
Interactions in Polar Molecules
- Polar molecules exhibit dipole-dipole interactions, while hydrogen bonds are the particular attractive forces when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative atoms.
