Study Notes
Ionic Bonding
- Formed by electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions formed by electron transfer.
- Giant lattices of ions have stronger structures and higher melting points when the ions are smaller and/or have higher charges.
- Positive ions are smaller than the corresponding neutral atom because they have lost an electron shell, leading to a greater ratio of protons to electrons, hence a stronger force on remaining electrons.
- Negative ions are larger than the corresponding neutral atom because they have gained more electrons than protons.
- Ions do not conduct electricity in the solid state but do so when molten.
Metallic Bonding
- Electrostatic force of attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons.
- Metals are shiny and malleable because positive ions in a lattice are identical and layers of ions can slide easily.
- Delocalised electrons can move, preventing fragmentation and allowing good conductivity.
- The strength of metallic bonding depends on the number of protons, the number of delocalised electrons, and the size of the ions.
Covalent Bonding
- Strong electrostatic attraction between the negative shared pair of electrons and the positive nuclei of the bonded atoms.
- Covalent compounds can form molecules.
- Low boiling and melting points due to similar electronegativity of the constituent elements.
- Generally poorly soluble in water as a gas or liquid.
- Dative covalent bonds are a type of covalent bond where both electrons in the shared pair originate from the same atom.
Giant Covalent Structures
- High boiling and melting points due to strong covalent bonds.
- Macromolecular structure.
- Localisation of electrons in the bonds prevents electrical conductivity.
- Generally insoluble in water, solids.
- Examples: Diamond (tetrahedral arrangement, 4 covalent bonds per atom) and graphite (planar arrangement, 3 covalent bonds per atom, with delocalised electrons, which allows conductivity).
Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution
- The distribution of energies among particles in a sample of matter.
- The mean energy of the particles is not at the peak of the curve.
- The area under the curve represents the total number of particles.
- Most molecules have energies between the two extremes but the distribution is not symmetrical.
- Energy (Eₐ) is required for particles to successfully collide and start a reaction.
Rate of Reaction
- Change in concentration of a substance in unit time.
- An approximation of the rate of reaction as it doesn't include concentration.
Van der Waals' Forces
- Transient, induced dipole-dipole interactions caused by fluctuating electron density in molecules.
- The number of electrons in a molecule affects the strength of Van der Waals' forces.
- Long chain alkanes have a higher surface area for intermolecular contact which lead to stronger Van der Waals' than branched alkanes.
- Occur between all molecular substances and noble gases.
- Not in ionic substances.
Hydrogen Bonding
- Compounds with hydrogen atoms attached to highly electronegative atoms (N, O, F) with lone pairs of electrons.
- Large electronegativity differences create a strong dipole between the hydrogen atom and the more electronegative atom.
- Hydrogen bonding is stronger than other intermolecular forces, impacting boiling and melting points.
Permanent Dipole-Dipole Forces
- Covalent bonds with elements of different electronegativity creating a charge separation in the bond resulting in permanent dipoles.
- The molecules interact because the positive end of one molecule and the negative end of the other molecule attract.
- Dipoles in symmetrical shapes cancel making the molecule non-polar, while asymmetrical ones are polar.
Electronegativity
- Relative tendency of an atom in a covalent bond to attract electrons towards itself.
- Electronegativity Trends: Increases across a period, decreases down a group.
- F, O, N, and Cl are the most electronegative elements.
- Affected by the distance between the nucleus and the outer electrons, the shielding of inner electron shells and the number of protons in the nucleus. Atomic radius also influences electronegativity.
