Questions and Answers

What is the primary difference in electron behavior between ionic and covalent bonds, according to Lewis structures?

  • Ionic bonds involve sharing of electrons, while covalent bonds involve transfer.
  • Ionic bonds form between atoms with similar electronegativity, whereas covalent bonds occur between atoms with large electronegativity differences.
  • Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal, while covalent bonds involve sharing between atoms. (correct)
  • Ionic bonds feature delocalized electrons, and covalent bonds have localized electrons.

    • In a Lewis dot diagram, how are ionic and covalent bonds distinguished?

  • Ionic bonds show the net charges on ions within brackets, while covalent bonds show shared electrons between atoms. (correct)
  • Ionic bonds use brackets for both atoms, but covalent bonds do not uses any brackets.
  • Ionic bonds use only dots, whereas covalent bonds use lines and dots to portray electron configuration.
  • Ionic bonds are represented by lines between atoms, whereas covalent bonds are represented by dots.

    • According to the provided information, what is the maximum number of single bonds that a carbon atom can form?

  • 2
  • 4 (correct)
  • 5
  • 3

    Study Notes

    Ionic Lewis Formulas

    • Ionic bonds form when the electronegativity difference is greater than or equal to 1.7
    • Electrons are transferred from a metal to a non-metal
    • An attraction occurs between the cation (positive ion) and the anion (negative ion)
    • Lewis dot diagrams show the valence electrons of atoms
    • The net positive charge of the cation and negative charge of the anion are indicated
    • Charged species are enclosed in brackets

    Molecular Lewis Formulas

    • Covalent bonds form when the electronegativity difference is less than 1.7
    • Electrons are shared between atoms
    • Valence electrons in a Lewis dot diagram are shown
    • Shared electrons are placed between atoms in the diagram

    Practice Problems

    • Provided examples of ionic compound practice: CaO, MgCl₂, Al₂O₃
    • Provided examples of covalent compound practice: Cl₂, O₂, N₂
    • Additional workbook practice is indicated

    Drawing Lewis Formulas

    • Draw Lewis diagrams if needed
    • Calculate the total valence electrons
    • Identify the central atom (usually the atom that forms the most bonds)
    • Arrange the atoms to generate the structure
    • Atoms should achieve 8 valence electrons, except hydrogen (which has 2)
    • Ensure the total valence electrons in the diagram match the initial calculation

    Polyatomic Formulas

    • Polyatomic ions are molecular ions containing more than one atom
    • Example: NaOH (sodium hydroxide) is an ionic compound formed from Na⁺ and the polyatomic ion OH⁻

    Structural Formulas

    • Ionic compounds have empirical formulas, not structural formulas (ratio of ions)
    • Structural diagram shows the array of ions within a crystal lattice
    • Molecular compounds use lines to represent bonding pairs
    • Examples are given like CH₄, C₂H₄, C₃H₄, CH₃COCH₃

    Workbook Practice

    • Workbook practice #3, #4, #5, #6, and #7 are assigned
    • Chemical formulas, Lewis diagrams, and structural diagrams are all part of the instruction set.
