Study Notes
Types of Chemical Bonds
-
Ionic Bond: Formed by electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions.
- Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed from sodium cation (Na+) and chloride anion (Cl-)
- Occurs through electron transfer, resulting in atoms attaining noble gas configuration.
Covalent Bond
- Sharing of electrons between two atoms.
- Occurs through overlap of atomic orbitals.
- Overlapping can form sigma (s) or pi (p) bonds.
- There are three types of overlap:
- s and s overlap: forming sigma (s) bonds. Example: H2
- s and p overlap: forming sigma (s) bonds. Example: HCl
- p and p overlap: forming sigma (s) bonds. Example: Cl2, p and p overlap occurs head-on due to electrostatic attraction between δ+ and δ-.
Hydrogen Bonding
- Stronger than van der Waals forces
- Association hydrogen bonding leads to increased boiling point.
- Example: Ethanol (C2H5OH, 78°C) has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether (C2H5-O-C2H5, 32°C)
- Hydrogen bonding can occur in the same molecule (intramolecular) or between different molecules (intermolecular).
-
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding: Occurs within the same molecule.
- Example: o-Nitrophenol has intramolecular hydrogen bonding leading to a higher melting point than p-Nitrophenol.
Valency
- Number of electrons an atom needs to lose or gain to achieve the nearest noble gas electronic configuration.
- Carbon has a valency of four, as it needs to gain or lose four electrons to achieve a stable octet electronic configuration.
- The promotion of electrons from 2s orbital to 2p orbitals allows carbon to form four bonds by utilizing hybridized orbitals (sp3, sp2, sp).
Hybridization
- The mixing of atomic orbitals within an atom to form new hybridized orbitals.
- Hybridized orbitals have energies between those of the original s and p orbitals.
- Hybridization results in a change in the shape and bonding properties of the molecule.
Methane (CH4)
- Demonstrates sp3 hybridization
- Tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109.5°
- Four sp3 hybridized orbitals of the carbon atom overlap with four 1s orbitals of four hydrogen atoms.
Resonance
- Possible when a molecule has multiple Lewis structures representing the electron arrangement.
- These are known as canonical structures.
- Delocalization of electrons occurs across the conjugated system (alternating double and single bonds).
- A higher number of canonical structures leads to greater stability.
Inductive Effect & Resonance Effect
-
Inductive effect: Occurs only in saturated systems.
- Relates to an atom or group's tendency to attract or release electrons.
- Transmission effect fades with increasing distance.
-
Resonance effect: Occurs in unsaturated and conjugated systems.
- Delocalization of p electrons or lone pairs in a planar system.
- The effect continues as long as conjugation extends.
Breaking a Covalent Bond
- Homolytic fission: The breaking of a covalent bond results in the formation of two free radicals, each with one electron from the original bond. R Y R.+ Y.
