Study Notes
Electronegativity and IMFA Overview
- Pauling scale is the most widely used electronegativity scale.
- Intermolecular Forces of Attraction (IMFA) hold atoms within molecules and molecules together.
Types of Intermolecular Forces of Attraction
-
London Dispersion Forces
- Present solely in nonpolar molecules.
- Weakest type of intermolecular force.
-
Dipole-Dipole Forces
- Occur between polar molecules.
- Result from the attraction of dipoles in different molecules.
-
Hydrogen Bonding
- Specific type of dipole-dipole force.
- Occurs when hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
- Strongest attraction, exemplified by water (H2O).
-
Ionic-Dipole Forces
- Attractive force between an ion and a neutral polar molecule.
- Common in solutions like sodium chloride (NaCl) in water.
Identifying Intermolecular Forces
- Determine if a molecule is polar or nonpolar.
- For polar molecules:
- Check if hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine for hydrogen bonding.
- If not, dipole-dipole forces are present.
- For nonpolar molecules: Only London dispersion forces are present.
Molecular Structure and Polarity
- Molecules consist of atoms bonded together.
- Bond polarity assessed by the electronegativity difference between elements using a provided table.
- Lewis Dot structures can illustrate molecular polarity and types of intermolecular forces.
Atomic Structure
- Protons: positively charged particles located in the nucleus.
- Neutrons: neutral particles also found in the nucleus.
- Electrons: negatively charged particles orbiting outside the nucleus.
- Formula to find neutrons: Atomic Mass – Protons = Neutrons.
Chemical Bonds
- Metallic Bond: Formed between two metals.
- Ionic Bond: Formed between a metal and a non-metal (e.g., NaCl) through electron transfer.
- Covalent Bond: Involves sharing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration (octet rule).
Types of Covalent Bonds
- Polar Covalent Bond: Unequal sharing of electrons results in partial charges due to differing electronegativities.
- Nonpolar Covalent Bond: Equal sharing of electrons; no charge separation occurs.
Electronegativity Trends
- Electronegativity refers to an atom's ability to attract electrons.
- It increases across a period (left to right) on the periodic table.
- It decreases down a group (top to bottom).
