Study Notes
Ionic Bonding
- Ionic bonding is the attractive force between oppositely charged particles in a compound.
- Metals form cations, nonmetals form anions.
Valence Electrons
- Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.
Cations and Anions
- Metals form cations (positive ions).
- Nonmetals form anions (negative ions).
Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions
- Endothermic reactions absorb energy.
- Exothermic reactions release energy.
Ionic Compounds (Salts)
- Ionic compounds are also called salts.
- They have a crystal lattice structure.
Lattice Energy
- Lattice energy is the energy needed to separate the ions in an ionic compound.
- Formation of ionic compounds is exothermic because they form stable, low-energy systems.
Properties of Ionic Compounds
- High melting and boiling points.
- Strongest bonds.
- Nonconductors as solids.
- Good conductors when melted or dissolved in water (aqueous solutions).
Formation of Anions
- Anion formation: ELEMENT + e⁻ → ELEMENT⁻¹ + Electron Affinity
Electron Affinity
- Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron attaches to a gaseous atom.
Formation of Cations
- Cation formation: ELEMENT + Ionization Energy → ELEMENT⁺¹ + e⁻
Ionization Energy
- Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom.
Bond Strength and Atomic Radii
- Smaller atomic radii lead to stronger bonds.
- Higher oxidation charges result in stronger bonds.
- Stronger bonds correspond to more negative lattice energy.
Oxidation Charge
- Oxidation charge is the charge on a monatomic ion.
Ionic Solid Brittleness
- Ionic solids break when ions line up during stress.
Pseudo Noble Gas Configuration
- Pseudo noble gas configurations are relatively stable electron arrangements.
- Elements like copper, silver, and zinc have pseudo noble gas configurations.
Stable Configurations in Bonding
- Atoms achieve a noble gas configuration during bonding.
Covalent Bonding
- Covalent bonds form by sharing electrons.
Diatomic Elements
- Diatomic elements include H₂, N₂, O₂, F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, and I₂.
Bond Types and Number of Shared Electrons
- Single bonds share 2 electrons.
- Double bonds share 4 electrons.
- Triple bonds share 6 electrons.
Sigma and Pi Bonds
- Sigma bonds are located directly between two bonded atoms.
- Pi bonds are located above and below the bond axis.
- Pi bonds only form when there is both a sigma bond and at least one pi bond.
Molecular Geometry and Hybridization
-
Various molecular geometries (linear, bent, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, octahedral) relate to the number of bonding and nonbonding electron pairs. These correlate with specific hybridization (sp, sp², sp³).
-
Key examples are shown in relation to the bonding (e.g., 2,0 is linear, 2,1 is bent).
Dissociation Energy
- Dissociation energy quantifies the energy required to break a bond.
Lewis Structures
- Lewis structures are diagrams representing molecular structures.
Resonance Structures
- Resonance occurs where multiple Lewis structures adequately represent a molecule.
Hybridization
- Hybrid orbitals form from mixing atomic orbitals.
Electronegativity
- Electronegativity measures an atom's ability to attract electrons in a bond.
Electron Affinity
- Electron affinity is the attraction an atom has for an electron.
Exceptions to Octet Rule
- Some molecules (e.g., BH₃, NO₂, ClO₂) do not follow the octet rule, accommodating expanded octets.
Expanded Octets
- Elements in the third period and lower can have expanded octets.
Intermolecular Forces (Van der Waals Forces)
- Intermolecular forces include dispersion, dipole-dipole, and hydrogen bonding.
Dispersion Forces
- Dispersion forces (London Dispersion Forces) are weak intermolecular forces between nonpolar molecules.
- Present in all molecules.
Dipole-Dipole Forces
- Dipole-dipole forces are stronger intermolecular forces between polar molecules.
Hydrogen Bonds
- Hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces between a hydrogen atom of one dipole and a fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atom of another dipole.
Polarity and Charges in Bonds
- Polar bonds have partial positive and negative charges (δ+ and δ-).
- Electronegativity differences determine bond polarity.
Bond Length and Strength
- Shorter bonds are generally stronger.
- Increased bond number leads to shorter bond length.
Electronegativity Differences and Bond Types
- Electronegativity differences determine bond types:
- Zero difference: Nonpolar covalent
- 0–1.7: Polar covalent
- 1.7 or greater: Ionic
Bond Length, Strength, and Dissociation Energy (Summary)
- Single bonds: Longest length, weakest strength, least dissociation energy.
- Double bonds: Shorter length, stronger strength, greater dissociation energy.
- Triple bonds: Shortest length, strongest strength, greatest dissociation energy.
Physical Properties of Ionic vs. Covalent Compounds
- Ionic: High melting/boiling points, good aqueous conductors, hard/brittle.
- Covalent: Low melting/boiling points, diverse physical forms, poor conductors.
Malleability and Ductility
- Malleability is the ability to be shaped into sheets.
- Ductility is the ability to be drawn into wires.
Differences in Covalent and Ionic Properties
- Differences stem from the types of attractive forces.
Elements with Variable Charges/Roman Numerals
- Transition metals often have multiple oxidation states.
- Certain nonmetals (e.g., gallium, tin, lead) also require Roman numerals in their compounds' names.
Specific Charges for Some Transition Metals
- Zinc (+2), silver (+1), and cadmium (+2) have consistent charges.
Prefix System Exception Elements
- Antimony and bismuth require the prefix system for representing their specific charges.
