Chemical Bonding and other stuff for test Flashcards
Octet rule
Atoms form bonds in order to attain stability and the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas
Stable octet
All orbitals are completely filled in outermost energy level, noble gases have this, s and p orbitals filled, 8 electrons
What are the types of chemical bonds
Ionic, covalent, metallic
Ionic bond
Due to transfer of electrons
Covalent bond
Due to sharing of electrons
Metallic bond
Due to attraction of metallic cations for delocalized electrons
What are properties of ionic bond
Result from electrostatic (refers to interaction between charges + and -) interactions among ions
Formed by transfer of electrons between atoms or groups of atoms
Occur between metals and Nonmetals or polyatomic ions (cations smaller than original atom)
Properties of covalent bond
(Together, outer electron)
Results from sharing electrons between atoms
Occur between Nonmetals (form molecules ?)
Molecules
Neutral groups of atoms held together by covalent bond
Ion
Charged particle, while molecule is neutral
Neutral
Protons and neutrons cancel each other out / balance each other / equal
What are the kinds of covalent bonds
Single covalent bond, double covalent bond, triple covalent bond
Single covalent bond
Two atoms share two electrons
Represented: -
Double covalent bond
2 atoms share 4 electrons
Rep: =
Triple covalent bond
-
- rep
What are metallic bond properties
Delocalized electrons in this
Results from the electrical attractions among positively charged metal ions (metal cations) and mobile delocalized electrons
Ionic compound properties
High melting point temperatures due to fixed arrangement of ions
Many are soluble (dissolve) in polar solvents (substance that dissolves something else) such as water (which is a polar solvent)
Most are insoluble in no polar solvents such as hexane (nonpolar solvent) (C6H14h
Molten (melting) compounds conduct electricity well
Aqueous (dissolves in water) solutions conduct electricity well
Conclusions about ionic compounds based on properties
Have specific crystalline structures (exist as crystalline solids)
Interact with polar substances because of ionic charges
Do not interact with nonpolar substances bc of ionic charges
Conduct electricity when ions are able to move (have to be able to move)
Covalent compound properties
Exist as gases, liquids, or low melting solids (powdery, easier to break than ionic compound)
Many are insoluble in polar solvents (opposite ionic)
Most are soluble in nonpolar solvents ( opp ionic)
Molten compounds do not conduct electricity
Aqueous solutions are poor conductors of electricity bc most do not contain charged particles
Covalent=molecule=neutral=can’t conduct electricity
Conclusions based on covalent compound properties
Atomic arrangements are not as ordered as ionic compounds
Don’t interact with polar solvents bc they don’t contain charges
Do interact with nonpolar solvents bc they have similar structures
Don’t conduct electricity well because they aren’t composed of charges
