What is a ionic bond?
electron transfer between metals and nonmetals
What is a covalent bond?
electron sharing between nonmetals
What is a metallic bond?
electron pooling between metals
What do Lewis Symbols help predict?
What does the symbol represent?
What does the dots represent?
bonding
nucleus and core electrons
valence electrons
What is the number of valence electrons on the periodic table?
the A group number
What do lewis symbols number of dots tell us?
for main group metals, they equal the number of electrons the atom loses to form a cation
for nonmetals, they equal the number of electrons the atom gains to form a anion
Who created the octet rule?
Gilbert Lewis (1916)
What is the octet rule?
bonded atoms either gain, lose, or share electrons to attain a filled outer layer of 8 e-
atoms like to achieve noble gas configurations
What does the octet rule apply to?
almost all compounds made of the period 2 elements and some others
Why do ionic bonds cause attraction between 2 atoms?
transfer of electrons = opposing charges
What is ionization energy?
The energy absorbed by 1 mole of an atom when it loses 1 mole of electrons
What is electron affinity?
The energy released by 1 mole of an atom when it gains 1 mole of electrons
What is a lattice?
The structure of a crystalline solid formed from the attraction of multiple ions
What is lattice energy?
The energy to separate 1 mole of a solid to form 1 mole of gaseous ions
What kind of energy to atoms want?
Energy kept to a minimum
What happens to the overall energy when ionic bonds form?
Energy is released
Overall energy lowers
What are the physical behavior of an ionic solid?
Ionic solid is hard, rigid, and brittle
What are the electrical conductivity of an ionic solid?
Ionic solid does not conduct electricity, but it does once melted or dissolved
What are the thermal conductivity of an ionic solid?
In the normal state, there is no such thing as an individual ionic molecules, just interconnected solids or arrays
What must we understand to understand why and how covalent bonds are formed?
Electro negativity
What is electronegativity not the same as ?
Electron affinity
Who discovered electronegativity?
Linus Pauling (1932)
What is electronegativity?
The relative ability of a bonded atom to attract shared electrons
What are electronegativity values relative to?
The greatest value of 4.0 which is fluorine
How is electronegativity related to size?
EN is inversely related to size
Smaller the atom … the closer the shared pair can get to the nucleus
Do electrons share equally when a covalent bond is formed?
No
What is a unequal sharing of electrons?
Polar covalent bond
What is an equal sharing of electrons?
No polar covalent bond
