    Study Notes

    Alkanes

    • Methane (CH4): Contains 1 carbon atom.
    • Ethane (C2H6): Comprises 2 carbon atoms.
    • Propane (C3H8): Has 3 carbon atoms.
    • Butane (C4H10): Includes 4 carbon atoms.
    • Pentane (C5H12): Consists of 5 carbon atoms.
    • Hexane (C6H14): Contains 6 carbon atoms.
    • Heptane (C7H16): Comprises 7 carbon atoms.
    • Octane (C8H18): Has 8 carbon atoms.
    • Nonane (C9H20): Includes 9 carbon atoms.
    • Decane (C10H22): Comprises 10 carbon atoms.

    Chemical Bonds

    • Ionic Bond: Involves complete transfer of electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
    • Covalent Bond: Electrons are shared between atoms for full valence shells.
    • Nonpolar Covalent Bonds: Electrons shared equally between bonded atoms.
    • Polar Covalent Bonds: Electrons shared unequally, creating dipoles.

    Electronegativity

    • Defined as an atom's ability to attract shared electrons; crucial in determining bond types.
    • Electronegativity values range from 0.7 to 4.0; larger values indicate stronger attraction.
    • Increases from left to right and bottom to top on the periodic table.

    Bond Classification

    • Pure Covalent Bonds: Electronegativity difference of 0-0.4; electrons shared equally.
    • Polar Covalent Bonds: Difference >0.4-2.0; electrons shared unequally (e.g., H-F).
    • Ionic Bonds: Difference >2.0; total electron transfer (e.g., NaCl).

    Lewis Structures

    • Lewis structures represent electron arrangement and bonding in a molecule.
    • Key steps include calculating total valence electrons, drawing skeletal structures, and adjusting for octets.
    • "Lone Pairs" refer to nonbonding electrons in the valence shell.

    Molecular Geometry and VSEPR Theory

    • VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) model states that electron groups strive to maximize distances to minimize repulsion.
    • Smple lines, wedges, and dashed lines represent 3D bonding orientations.

    Hybridization and Orbitals

    • Hybrid orbitals (e.g., sp, sp2, sp3) result from combining atomic orbitals to accommodate bonding.
    • Sigma bonds are formed by end-to-end overlap of orbitals, while pi bonds occur with parallel p orbital overlaps.

    Intermolecular Forces

    • Intramolecular forces are strong bonds within molecules, while intermolecular forces exist between different molecules.
    • Types include dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonds, and London dispersion forces.
    • Hydrogen bonds are particularly strong and involve H bonded to highly electronegative atoms (O, N, F).

    Solutions and Solubility

    • Solutions can exist in various phases (gas, liquid, solid) with defined solute-solvent interactions.
    • Competitive energy interactions determine whether a solute dissolves.
    • Solute-solvent interactions must be stronger than solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions for solubility.

    Resonance Structures

    • Resonance describes multiple valid Lewis structures for a molecule differing only in electron placement.
    • The actual molecular structure is a resonance hybrid of possible forms, which adheres to rules (e.g. maintaining octets).
    • Assess resonance forms based on factors like bond number, charge distribution, and adherence to octet rule.

    Magnetic Properties

    • Paramagnetic substances have unpaired electrons and are attracted to magnetic fields, while diamagnetic substances have paired electrons and are weakly repelled.

    Bond Energies

    • Different intermolecular forces and bonding types vary in strength and energy involved, influencing physical properties of substances.
