ionic bonds
- transfer of electrons from a metallic element to a non-metallic element
- cation and anions are attracted to each other
- electrostatic attraction - very strong
cations
metals loose electrons from their valance shell forming positively charged cations
anions
non-metal atoms gain electrons forming negatively charged anions
lattice structure
- evenly distributes crystalline structure
- ## regular repeating patter so the + charges cancel out - charges
melting and boiling points of ionic compounds
- ionic compounds are strong
- high melting and boiling points
- strong electrostatic forces between ion
- melting and boiling point increases with charge density as they have higher electrostatic forces
solubility of ionic compounds
- soluble in water
- they form ion - dipole bonds
- can conduct electricity when molten or in a solution
- ions can move freely around
covalent bonds
- occurs between two non-metals
- electrons are shared
- each atom provide one of the electrons in the bond
covalent bonding electronegativity difference
<1.0
polar covalent electronegativity difference
1.0-2.0
ionic electronegativity difference
> 2.0
coordinate bonds
- both electron in the bond are from the same atom
- some molecules have a lone pair of electron that can be donates to form a bond with an electron-deficient atom
bond length
- internuclear distance of two covalnetly bonded atoms
- as the strength of the covalent bond increases, the length of bond decreases
triple bond<double bond<single bond
non polar bonds
two atoms have the same electronegativity
polar bonds
different electronegativites, electron drawn towards the more electronegative atom
less electronegative - partial charge of δ+
more electronegative - partial charge of δ-
dipole moment
- measure of how polar a bond is
- direction of the dipole moment is shown by the following sign in which the arrow points to the partially negatively charged end of dipole
steps for drawing a lewis structures
- count the total number of valance
- draw the skeletal structure to show how many atoms are linked to each other
- use pair of crosses or dot/cross to put an electron pain in each bon between atome
- add more electron pairs to complete the octets around the atoms
- if there are not enough electrons to complete the octets, form double/triple bonds
- check the total number of electron in the finished structure is equual to the total number of valance electrons
exceptions to the octet rule
H, Li, Be, B, and Al
delocalized electrons
electrons in a molecule, ion and solid metal that are not associated with a single atom or one covalent bond
e.g. double bond capable of migrating
