chemical bonding Flashcards
ionic bonding
transfer of electrons and subsequent electrostatic attraction (between oppositely charged ions)
metals lose
non-metals gain
ions pack into ionic crystal lattice

sharing of at least 1 pair of electrons by 2 non metal atoms

stock notation
covalent bond
a sharing of at least one pair of electrons by two non-metal atoms
electronegativity
a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
0- non polar covalent bond
greater EN, more polar the bond is
<0,5 - very weak polar covalent bond
1- polar bond
1,4- highly polar covalent bond
2.0- polar covalent
metallic bonding
being between a positive kernel and a sea of delocalised electrons
intramolecular bond
a bond which occurs between atoms within molecules
intermolecular force
a weak force of attraction between molecules or atoms of noble gases
viscosity
a measure of how easily a liquid flows
london (dispersion) forces (3)
experienced by all molecular substances
only van der waals force that exists between non polar molecules
due to attraction of 1 molecule to the nucleus of another
origin of london forces (4)
-as a result of random movement of electrons, a temporary, instantaneous dipole is set up in one molecule
-this causes the electrons of the neighbouring molecule to disperse when molecules come close to one another
-this results in an induced dipole forming
-the 2 temporary dipoles are then able to electrostatically attract each other
forces w noble gases
do not participate in bonding as have full set of valance electrons (stable)
BUT noble gas atoms interact w london forces between their atoms
dipole dipole forces (3)
occurs between permanently polar molecules
slightly positive side of molecule attracts slightly negative of another
electron pair lives closer to the atom
origin of dipole dipole forces
-as a result of polar bonds (an unequal sharing of an electron pair as a result of END) and permanent asymmetrical distribution, these molecules are permanently polar
- and experience an attractive electrostatic force between the slightly positive side of one molecule and the slightly negative side of another molecule
hydrogen bond forces (2)
special case of dipole dipole forces
involves highly polar molecules
origin of hydrogen bond forces (3)
-within a molecule, a hydrogen atom must be covalently bonded to a small highly electronegative (N,O,F) atom (producing a greater END difference than in other polar bonds) with at least one pair of electrons
-within a molecule, a small highly electronegative atom attracts the bonded pair of electrons away from the covalently bonded hydrogen atom
-therefore, a naked proton is exposed and is attracted to a lone pair of electrons on another small highly electronegative atom of a neighbouring molecule , hence the forces exist between molecules
why are hydrogen bonds stronger than dipole dipole forces
-large END in bonds of molecule, making highly polar molecules with high charge density on exposed H atom
- the small atoms form molecules that can get close together and thus the forces act over shorter distances
substances that experience hydrogen bonding between their molecules
-water
-ammonia
-hydrogen fluoride
-alcohols
-carboxylic acids
hydrogen bonds in water
on average, each H20 molecule forms 4 hydrogen bonds with another H20 molecule at sites:
the 2 slightly hydrogen atoms
the 2 lone pairs on each atom oxygen atom
hydrogen bonds in ammonia
on average, each NH3 molecule forms 2 hydrogen bonds w other NH3 molecules at sites:
single lone pair on N atom
one of the slightly hydrogens (other 2 are wasted as there are insufficient lone pairs )
