Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
- Valence electrons are the primary participants in bonding.
- Bonding generally leads to the formation of more stable species than the original atoms.
Types of Chemical Bonds
- Ionic Bond: Results from electrical attraction due to electron transfer between atoms.
- Covalent Bond: Involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Substance Classification
- Covalent Substances: CH4, Cl2
- Ionic Substances: FeCl3
Charged Particles
- Cation: More protons than electrons, leading to a positive charge.
- Anion: More electrons than protons, giving a negative charge.
- Neutral Atom: Equal numbers of protons and electrons.
Ion Symbols and Their Descriptions
- La³⁺: 57 protons, 54 electrons
- I⁻: 53 protons, 54 electrons
- Cs⁺: 55 protons, 54 electrons
- La⁺: 57 protons, 56 electrons
Electron Transfer in Bonding
- Atoms may gain, lose, or share electrons to reach a stable noble gas configuration.
Ionic and Covalent Bonds
- Ionic bonds involve electron transfer and formation of charged particles.
- Covalent bonds are characterized by electron sharing.
Octet Rule
- Atoms tend to gain or lose electrons to achieve eight electrons in their outermost shell.
Ionic Compound Formulas
- Examples of ionic compounds include MgO and K₂O.
Ion Nomenclature
- Cations are positively charged, while anions are negatively charged.
- The symbol for an atom with 11 protons and 10 electrons is Na⁺.
Variables in Ion Formation
- Main group elements strive to have a stable configuration similar to noble gases.
- Group 6A nonmetals typically form -2 ions.
Charges of Elements
- Sodium (Na) and Lithium (Li) can form ions with the same charge.
- Metals typically form cations; nonmetals form anions.
- Main group metals have charges equal to their group number.
Variable Charge Metals
- Metals with variable charges can be found in groups such as 4A and transition metals.
Human Body Ions
- Important ions include Cl⁻, Na⁺, and Fe²⁺, which play significant roles in physiological functions.
Potassium Chloride (KCl)
- Found in potassium supplements, highlighting its utility in nutrition.
Characteristics of Ionic Compounds
- Ionic compounds form orderly crystal lattices and must have a net charge of zero.
Steps for Naming and Writing Formulas
- Naming involves determining the cation’s charge, naming it (with Roman numerals if necessary), followed by the anion.
- When writing formulas, identify cation and anion, balance charges, and use subscripts appropriately.
- Use parentheses when a polyatomic ion requires a subscript.
Properties of Ionic Compounds
- They exhibit high melting and boiling points, demonstrating strong intermolecular forces.
Polyatomic Ions
- Defined as ions containing two or more atoms, which are covalently bonded.
- Common polyatomic ions include sulfate (SO₄²⁻), sulfite (SO₃²⁻), and ammonium (NH₄⁺).
Systematic Naming
- The systematic names of compounds must reflect their ionic compositions, such as ferric sulfite for Fe₂(SO₃)₃.
Charge Balancing in Compounds
- Neutral compounds require a specific ratio of ammonium to carbonate ions to achieve charge balance, exemplified by 2 ammonium ions for every 1 carbonate ion.
