chapter 5 Flashcards
compounds vs. mixtures.
distinguished by chemical bonds. Compounds are held together by chemical bonds. Mixtures have no chemical bonds.
Chemical Bond
the attractive force that holds atoms or ions together
- Ionic Bond
- Covalent Bond
- Metallic Bond
- Polyatomic Ion
Chemical structure
the arrangement of atoms in a substance
crystalline structure is any structure of ions, molecules, or atoms that are held together in an ordered, three-dimensional arrangement.
amorphous structure is irregular and lacks the repeating pattern of a crystal lattice.
Bond Length
the average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms
Bond Angle
the angle formed by two bonds to the same atom, so you at leas have to have 3 atoms in a molecule, since a two atom molecule will always have the same bond angle of 180 deg.
Crystalline compound
Crystalline compound are strong solids with high melting and boiling points. A crystalline structure is any structure of ions, molecules, or atoms that are held together in an ordered, three-dimensional arrangement. Can be thought of as the highest level of order that can exist in a material. ex: SiO2, NaCl, MgF2.
Some compounds are made of networks of bonded ions.
Like salt.
Some compounds are made of molecules.
Molecule compounds can be liquids gases, and solids. depending on the strength of the attraction between their molecules for each other, like in H2O to H2O (moderate attraction), Sugar (~strong attraction) & gas H2S (weak attraction).
Substances made of molecules have lower ________
melting points.
whether a molecular substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas at room temperature depends on the _______
attractions between its molecules, as per the Kinetic Theory of Matter.
Attraction between water molecules is due to_________
hydrogen bonds – a weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.
Bonded Atoms usually have a stable_____.
electron configuration.
Atoms bond when their valence electrons interact.
Ionic Bond
a bond formed by the attraction between oppositely charged ions. Formed by transfer of electrons.
Atoms strive to be closer to the noble gas electron shell configuration…
via Transfer of Electrons. NaCl: Na wants to give up its electron to have a stable shell. Cl wants to take an electron, i.e. Na — e— __> Cl resulting in
Na+ + Cl– —> NaCl.
Metallic Bonds
a bond formed by the attractions between positively charged metal ions and the electrons around them. Electrons move freely between metal atoms.
