Chemical Bonds I Flashcards
Chemical Bonds
- Attraction between atoms or ions
2. Are due to the attraction between the positive nucleus and the negative electrons
Potential Energy
Stored in bonds between atoms/ions
Chemical Energy
Energy involved in making/breaking bonds
Energy Changes in Bonds
- When two atoms are bonded –> lower/stable potential energy level
- When stronger bonds form –> Exothermic Reaction + Less potential energy
Relationship between stabiltilty and potential energy
Inverse
Exothermic vs Endothermic
Exothermic: Stability is high, potential energy is low when compared to reactants
Endothermic: Stability is low, potential energy is high when compared to reactants
Endothermic/Exothermic Diagram
Bottom is potential energy
Top is kinetic energy
Electronegativity
0-.3 –> NPC
.3-1.7 exclusive –> PC
>1.7 inclusive –> I
Ionic Bonds
Attraction between ions
Nonmetal and Metal
Lewis Structures for Ionic Bonds
Must have charges
May draw arrows, or have nonmetal have a full shell
Properties of Ionic Compounds
As solids don't conduct electricity When melted/in aqueous solution conduct electricity High melting points Have crystalline lattice structure Very strong
Covalant Bonds
Either equally/unequally shared electrons
NPC
Shared equally between two nonmetals
END is
PC
Shared unequally between two nonmetallic atoms
.3
Properties of Covalant Compounds
Low melting Point
Dull
Brittle
Nonconductive
