Ionic Compound
Ionic Bond
Bonding type:
Nonmetal + Nonmetal
Molecular Compound
Covalent Bond
Bonding type:
Metal + Metal
Solid Metal
Metallic Bond
Types of bonds formed between atoms and resulting molecule depend on what?
Electronic Structures
Core Electrons
Just outside nucleus
Important for Valence
Valence Electrons
Outer shells
Important for chemical bonding
of valence electrons equals
Group number
For s and p block elements
Atoms gain lose or share electrons in ways that allow them to be surrounded by 8 electrons
Octect rule
Trying to obtain a noble gas configuration
Lattice Energy
Energy required to separate one mol of an ionic compound into its gaseous ions
I.e.
NaCl(s) -> Na+(g) + Cl-(g)
= +788 kJ/mol
It always takes _____ to break chemical bonds
Energy
The first electrons lost are from
The subs hell with the largest value of n
I.e.
Fe: [Ar] 4s^2 3d^6
Fe^2+: [Ar] 4s^0 3d^6
Molecular Structure
The way atoms are arranged in molecules and polyatomic ions
