Study Notes
Intramolecular Forces
- Intramolecular forces are the forces that occur within a molecule or between two atoms.
- They are significantly stronger than intermolecular forces.
Types of Intramolecular Forces
- Three main types of intramolecular forces: ionic, metallic, and covalent.
- Ionic bonds involve electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions, known as Coulombic attraction.
Bonding Energy and Types
- Bond energy varies according to bond types: single bonds have the lowest energy, while triple bonds have the highest energy.
- Atoms bond to lower their potential energy, enhancing stability.
Bond Length and Atomic Relations
- Bond length is influenced by atomic radius; closer atoms experience increased repulsion.
Ionic Compound Properties
- Ionic bonds create strong attractions between metals and nonmetals, forming a crystal lattice structure.
- Ionic compounds generally:
- Are solid at room temperature
- Are hard and brittle
- Are soluble in polar solvents
- Lack conductivity in solid form
- Typically have high melting points
Conductivity in Ionic Compounds
- Ionic solids do not conduct electricity due to fixed ion positions, resulting in a neutral charge.
- High melting points are due to strong ionic attractions that require significant energy to overcome.
Hardness of Ionic Solids
- Ionic solids are hard because of the strong attraction between ions in the crystal structure.
- An external force can cause ion movement, leading to repulsion among similar ions and structural separation.
Lattice Energy
- Lattice energy quantifies energy change when gaseous ions form an ionic solid.
- Greater ionic charge correlates to higher lattice energy, while smaller atoms with the same charge yield greater lattice energy.
Metallic Bonding
- Metallic bonding occurs between conduction electrons and positively charged metal ions, resulting in a "sea of electrons."
- Characteristics of metallic bonds include:
- Uniform structure
- High conductivity
- Malleability and ductility
- Lustrous appearance
Transition Metals
- Transition metals possess numerous unpaired electrons in the d sublevel, contributing to:
- Good conductivity
- Malleability and ductility
- Low volatility
Types of Metal Alloys
- Two primary types of metallic alloys:
- Substitutional alloys: Host metal atoms are replaced by similar-sized metal atoms, enhancing malleability.
- Interstitial alloys: Smaller atoms fill voids in the metal structure, increasing hardness.
Diatomic Molecules
- Diatomic molecules consist of two atoms in their natural state, including H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, and I.
- Bond energy among diatomic molecules increases in the following order: I < Br < Cl < F < H < O < N.
