Study Notes
Inorganic Chemistry
- Inorganic chemistry studies the properties and reactions of inorganic elements and compounds, excluding those with carbon-hydrogen bonds.
Chemical Bonds
- Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together in compounds or molecules, primarily resulting from interactions of valence electrons.
Types of Chemical Bonds
-
Ionic Bond:
- Formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
-
Covalent Bond:
- Involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms.
- Each atom contributes at least one electron to the shared pair, achieving noble gas configuration.
-
Coordinate Covalent Bond:
- A specific type of covalent bond where both shared electrons come from one atom.
- Example: Formation of ammonium ion (NH4+) from ammonia and hydrogen chloride.
-
Metallic Bond:
- Occurs between positively charged metal ions, with delocalized electrons shared among a lattice of cations.
- Provides metals with thermal and electrical conductivity, high melting points, and malleability.
-
Dipole-Dipole Interaction:
- Attraction between partial positive and negative charges in different molecules due to differences in electronegativity.
- Dipole moments are larger with greater electronegativity differences.
-
Hydrogen Bond:
- A weak bond formed between hydrogen and highly electronegative atoms.
- Illustrated using dotted lines; examples include bonding between water molecules.
Types of Hydrogen Bonding
- Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding: Occurs between different molecules (e.g., in water, alcohol, ammonia).
- Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding: Occurs within a single molecule containing electronegative groups.
Properties of Hydrogen Bonding
- Increases solubility of compounds (e.g., alcohols dissolve in water).
- Higher boiling points leading to lower volatility.
- Higher viscosity and surface tension due to associated molecules.
- Ice has a lower density than liquid water due to the structure of hydrogen bonds.
Bond Characteristics
-
Bond Length: The distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms; influenced by the contribution of both atoms.
-
Bond Angle: The angle between orbitals containing bonding pairs; varies based on electronegativity.
- Example angles: NH3 (107°), H2O (104.5°).
-
Bond Energy: Energy required to break a mole of a substance into its component atoms, measured in kJ mol⁻¹. Example: H-H bond energy is 435.8 kJ mol⁻¹.
Molecular Shape
- Determined by the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms around a central atom and the number of electron pairs.
- VSEPR Theory predicts molecular shape based on repulsion between electron pairs to minimize repulsion.
Specific Molecule Shapes
- CH4: Tetrahedral shape with a bond angle of 109.5° (no lone pairs).
- H2O: Bent shape due to repulsion from two lone pairs, bond angle 104.5°.
- NH3: Pyramidal shape with a bond angle of 107.2° (one lone pair).
Lewis Dot Structures
- Used to represent valence electron arrangement.
- For the CO molecule, starts with a single bond, followed by a triple bond to satisfy the octet rule.
Conclusion
- Understanding the different types of chemical bonds, their properties, and molecular shapes is crucial in predicting the behavior of molecules in various chemical reactions.
