EXAM 2: 06 Bonding Flashcards
What is the octet rule
In forming bonds, many main group elements gain, lose or share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, characterized by 8 valence electrons
What is ionic bonding
Formed by ions of opposite charges
Found between atoms from opposite ends of the periodic table
Metals + nonmetals
Electrons are transferred
Metals characteristics
Low ionization energy (can easily lose electrons), forms cations with noble gas configurations
Nonmetal characteristics
Negative electron affinities (can easily gain electrons), forms anions
What is metallic bonding
There are too few electrons to satisfy the octet rule, so valence electrons are shared among all metal atoms
The nuclei and core electrons are immersed in an electron sea composed of all valence electrons
What is covalent bonding
Based on the sharing of electron pairs among directly bonded atoms
Forms when nonmetals share electrons
The number of desired covalent bonds must match the number of unpaired electrons in the Lewis structure
Characteristics of metals
Good conductors of heat and electricity
Malleability and ductility
Is the formation of ions of opposite charges from neutral atoms in the gas phase energetically favorable or unfavorable?
Energetically unfavorable
What is atomization
To reduce or separate into atoms
What is lattice energy
The amount of energy (enthalpy) required to convert a mole of ionic solid to its constituent ions in the gas phase
- measure the strength of ionic bonding
What is a lattice
A 3d array of cations and anions in crystalline solids
What is the trend for determining lattice energy
Increasing size = decreasing lattice energy
Increasing charge = increasing lattice energy
Are there any direct bonds between ions?
No, just electrostatic attractions
_____ melting point is associated with _______ lattice energy
High, high
What are 2 rules for bonding
- Only valence electrons are used in bonding
- Atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to reach a noble gas configuration (filled shell)

Increased
What do Lewis structures illustrate
The apportionment of bonding and nonbonding electron pairs to atoms in molecules
What are multiple bonds
A chemical bond in which two atoms share two or more pairs of electrons
What is bond order
The number of electron pairs shared
What do bond lengths depend on
Atomic bonding radii and bonding
What is the relationship between bond order and bond length
The higher the bond order the shorter the bond
What is the strength of a covalent bond defined by
The energy needed to break that exact bond while leaving other parts of the molecule intact - bond dissociation energy
What is the relationship between strength of bond and bond dissociation energy
Stronger the bond, higher the BDE
What is there relationship between bond length, bond order, bond strength and intermolecular forces
The shorter the bond length, and the higher the bond order, the stronger the bond is holding the atoms together within the molecule, and the weaker the intermolecular forces
What is a polyatomic atom
An electrically charged group of two or more atoms; a molecule that has lost or gained one or more electrons
How are atoms in polyatomic ions held together
Covalent bonding
What is salt
An ionic compound
Salt characteristics

What are covalent substances and their characteristics
Often found as gases or liquids at room temp and pressure
- in solid state: soft and melt easily
