Study Notes

  • Module 7 covers ionic bonds, and Module 8 covers covalent bonds

Octet Rule

  • Atoms tend to form compounds that achieve eight valence electrons, as stated by the octet rule

Ionic Bond

  • Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal
  • A cation and an anion interact via the transfer of valence electron(s)
  • NaCl (Sodium Chloride) is an example of an ionic bond

Ionic Compound Examples

  • Lithium oxide (Li₂O)
  • Calcium oxide
  • Sodium oxide
  • Iron (II) chloride or ferrous chloride (FeCl₂) has an electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁶
  • Cupric chloride (CuCl₂) has an electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁹

Properties of Ionic Compounds

  • Ionic substances form crystalline solids
  • They have high melting and boiling points
  • Ionic solids are typically hard and brittle

Covalent Bond

  • Covalent bonds occur between nonmetals and involve the sharing of electron(s)
  • Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is an example of a covalent bond

Covalent Compound Examples

  • Nitrogen trichloride
  • Carbon dioxide

Properties of Covalent Compounds

  • They have low melting and boiling points
  • Most are soft and flexible

Performance Task 4: "Be an INVEST-igator"

  • Create a 3-5 minute "minivlog" about 5 compounds found at home, and be careful when handling sharp objects, conductors in electric wirings, corrosive, flammable, or poisonous compounds
  • Show the 5 compounds
  • List the compound name, bond type, and an explanation of its basic and common properties making it useful
  • The rubric includes compound selection & identification, bond type analysis, property explanation & relevance, and video production & presentation
