What is a bond?
A bond is a connection between two molecules.
Why do elements form compounds?
To become stable; Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have 8 valence e- in their outer energy shell
Oxidation numbers
Charge of an ion within a compound
Binary ionic compounds
Compounds made of 2 elements that transfer e- in an ionic bond
Molecule:
A neutral group of atoms held together by covalent bonds.
Intramolecular Forces vs. Intermolecular Forces
INTERmolecular Forces act within different substances Think INTERNATIONAL
Would elements ever not benefit from forming compounds?
Yes if they are a Noble gas.
What compound will form between Magnesium and Bromine?
MgBr2
Compounds with polyatomic ions
Polyatomic ion: a charged group of covalently bonded atoms
Diatomic elements
when 2 atoms of the same element exist naturally as a molecule
H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2
types of bonding
Which substance contains bonds that involved the transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
A) CO2 B) NH3 C)KBr D) Cl2
C)KBr
Atoms have
equal numbers of protons and electrons, making them neutral
Binary molecular compounds
Compounds made of 2 elements that share e- in a covalent bond
Which compound has both ionic and covalent bonding?
A)CaCO3 B) CH2Cl2 C) CH3OH D) C6H12O6
A)CaCO3
Difference between Ionic and Covalent Bonding
Ionic bonding:Transferring electrons from one species to another and forming ions
Covalent:Sharing a pair of electrons between atoms
Polar covalent vs. Nonpolar covalent
Polar: Unequal sharing of e-
Nonpolar: Equal sharing of e-
Cations
positively charged from losing electrons (typically metals)
What is the formula for the compound that forms between calcium and nitrogen?
Ca3N2
The tendency for electron pairs to be as far apart from one another as possible, why?
Because the valence e- are repulsed by each other.
What does BARF stand for
Broken
Absorbed
Released
Formed
Covalent bond:
bond that results between nonmetallic elements that share valence electrons, forming a molecule.
Anions
negatively charged from gaining electrons (typically nonmetals)
Aluminum and Chlorine
AlCl3
Tendencies of Covalent compounds
Tend to still follow the octet rule.
Bonds can be single, double, or triple.
Double bond = 4 e- shared
