Study Notes
Intermolecular Forces in Water
- Intermolecular forces in water are weaker than covalent bonds within a water molecule.
- These forces give water special properties at room temperature, like being a liquid instead of a gas.
- Water's high boiling point, high specific heat capacity, and higher density than ice are all due to attractive forces between water molecules.
Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds
- Ionic compounds (like common salt and copper sulfate) conduct electricity in solutions or when melted.
- Covalent compounds (like sugar and water) do not conduct electricity in solutions or as solids.
- Ionic compounds are typically solids at room temperature with high melting and boiling points.
- Covalent compounds are typically liquids or gases at room temperature with lower melting and boiling points.
Melting and Boiling Points of Compounds
- Ionic compounds typically have very high melting and boiling points (NaCl, 801/1413 °C).
- Covalent compounds, on the other hand, often have low melting and boiling points (many are fluids at room temp).
- Water (H₂O) being a covalent compound, has a relatively high boiling point of 100°C.
- This high boiling point, despite it being a covalent compound, is due to the strong intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) within water molecules.
Characteristics of Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds are formed from oppositely charged ions (+ and -).
- These compounds typically form solid crystalline structures at room temperature.
- They have high melting points and boiling points.
- They conduct electricity in liquid or dissolved states.
- They are often soluble in water.
Characteristics of Covalent Compounds
- Covalent compounds exist mainly as molecules comprised of multiple atoms.
- Most covalent compounds are liquids or gases at room temperature
- They often have low melting points and boiling points.
- Their aqueous (dissolved in water) solutions typically do not conduct electricity.
- Some covalent compounds are soluble in water.
Summary of Compound Formation
- Compounds form when atoms of different elements chemically bond.
- During bonding, electrons in atoms' valence shells rearrange.
- Positive ions (cations) form when atoms lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) form when atoms gain electrons.
- Electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions create ionic bonds.
- Sharing electrons forms covalent bonds.
- The structure of ionic compounds forms a crystalline lattice arrangement of ions.
- Covalent compounds form discrete molecules.
- Intermolecular forces affect the properties of compounds.
