Study Notes
Types of Hydrogen Bonding
- Two main types of hydrogen bonding are observed: intermolecular and intramolecular.
- Intermolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between different polar molecules (same or different substances). Examples include water, hydrogen fluoride, and ammonia.
- Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between atoms of the same molecule, typically forming a ring structure. Examples include ortho-fluorophenol, ortho-nitroaniline, and ortho-hydroxybenzaldehyde.
- Hydrogen bonding is a special dipole-dipole type of interaction.
- Strength depends on the electronegativity of the atom to which the hydrogen is bonded, with highly electronegative atoms (F, O, N) showing stronger hydrogen bonds.
Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding
- Water (H₂O) is a key example.
- Hydrogen bonds form between the highly electronegative oxygen atom of one water molecule and the hydrogen atom of another.
- These bonds influence the physical properties of water, including its high boiling point.
Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding
- Hydrogen bonding within the same molecule (intramolecular).
- The bonding causes a ring structure to form.
- Illustrated for example with para-nitrophenol.
- Intramolecular hydrogen bonds are often found in compounds with specific molecular structures leading to unique properties.
Key Points about Hydrogen Bonding
- Hydrogen bonding is crucial for the properties of many substances.
- It plays a significant role in biological systems, influencing protein folding, DNA structure, and water's unique characteristics.
- The strength of a hydrogen bond varies, depending on factors like the electronegativity difference between the atoms and the molecular geometry.
Lewis Symbols (Electron Dot Structures)
- G.N. Lewis used simple notations (Lewis symbols/electron dot symbols) to represent valence electrons.
- The element's symbol represents the atom, excluding valence electrons.
- Dots and crosses around the symbol represent valence electrons.
Covalent Bond and Hydrogen Bond
-
Covalent Bonds: Formed by sharing electrons between atoms which usually are non-metals. (Formed between atoms of similar or different electronegativities).
- Polar Covalent Bonds: Electron sharing is unequal, leading to a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on another.
- Non-polar Covalent Bonds: Electron sharing is equal.
- Co-ordinate Covalent Bonds: One atom provides both the shared electrons.
- Hydrogen Bond: A weak electrostatic bond formed between a slightly positive hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom (F, O, N).
Properties of Covalent Compounds
- General Characteristics: Often gases or liquids at room temperature, low melting/boiling points, poor conductors of electricity, and limited solubility in water.
- Exceptions: Diamond (a hard solid). Some substances are good conductors when dissolved in water. (Graphite)
- Reactions: Generally slow due to electron rearrangement needed for bond breaking and formation.
Factors Favouring Ionic Bond Formation
- Transfer of electrons to achieve stable octet/duplet configurations.
- Low ionization energy (cation, loses electrons).
- High electron affinity (anion, gains electrons).
- Large differences in electronegativity.
Properties of Ionic Compounds
- General Characteristics: Solid crystalline structures at room temperature, high melting/boiling points, high density, poor conductors in solid state but excellent conductors in molten or aqueous solutions.
- Solubility: Often soluble in polar solvents like water, insoluble in non-polar solvents.
