Intramolecular Bonding Flashcards
Difinition (Intramolecular force)
The forces of attraction which hold an individual molecule together (eg. ionic and covalent bonding)
octet rule ?
When atoms bond together, they attain the stable structure of having eight electrons in the outer shell of their atoms.
When atoms have eight electrons in the outermost shell they are chemically stable.
- Ionic bond
electrical attraction between the oppositely charged ions which are produced when electrons are transferred(moved) from one atom to another.
In general, metals interact with non-metals to form ionic bonding.
Metals tend to lose their electrons, falling back to their inner octet, becoming smaller, forming positive “cations” (positively charged)
Nonmetals tend to gain electrons, filling up their current energy levels, becoming larger, forming negative “anions”. (negatively charged)
Ionic Lattice Packing
A crystal of NaCl consists of unit cells tacked together to form a lattice. (each sodium ion is surrounded by 6 chloride ions/each choloride ion is surrounded by 6 sodium ions)
The ions are held together by the attraction of their opposite charges -electrostatic forces (very strong).
properties of Ionic compounds
1/ High melting and boiling points(they are not unstable) - solids at room temperature. A great deal of energy is needed to break down the lattice structure bc the ions are attracted together by electrostatic forces. The structure must therefore be heated to a high temperature before it melts.
2/ Soluble in water - water contains molecules that have one end positively charged and the other end negatively charged (dipole). Water is polar solvent and tends to dissolve ionic compounds.
3/ conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution - In order for a substance to conduct electricity, it must possess charged particles that can move. Solid ionic compounds don’t conduct electricity ( the ions are held firmly by strong electrostatic forces and cannot move.) When the substance is melted in water, the ions move freely and can carry an electric current. An aqueous solution, or melt, of an ionic substance that behaves in this way, is called an electrolyte.
4/ ionic crystals shatter easily - When a force is applied to the crystal, the layers of ions in the crystal structure can ‘slip’ so that similarly charged ions are next to one another. the like charges of the ions repel one another and the crystal structure shatters.
Covalent Bonding
involves sharing of pairs of electrons between two or more atoms to achieve the stable electronic configuration of a noble gas. There is no electron transfer hence there are no charged particles.
Once the electrons are involved in the covalent bond there is no way to distinguish which electron comes from which atom
properties of Covalent Compounds
1/ Low melting points and boiling points - they are often liquids or gases at room temperature (ex: O2,H2O,N2). The molecules are not attracted towards each other by strong electrostatic forces - so they are pulled apart at relatively low temperatures. The forces that attract molecules together (the intermolecular forces) are called van derwaals’ forces and are relatively weak.
2/ Low-soluble in water -
(covalent compounds tend to dissolve readily in non-polar organic solvents, such as benzene, which also contain covalent molecules)
Do not contain ions and therefore do not mix so readily with water molecules.
3/ Do not conduct electricity - Covalent compounds cannot conduct electricity because they do not contain ions.
why Electronegativity increases across a period
and decreases down a group?
because of increasing nuclear charge and decreasing atom radius.
because of increasing increasing atomic radius and shielding effect.
non-polar covalent
0.0 - 0.4
Bonding electrons shared equally between two atoms. No charges on atoms.
This happens when both atoms are the same, or have very similar electronegativity values.
H2, O2, N2, Cl2, F2, Br2, I2 (diatomic)
CH4
Polar Covalent Bonds
> 0.4 - 1.9
Bonding electrons shared unequally between two atoms. Partial charges on atoms.
The more electronegative atom will pull harder and acquire a slight negative charge.
The less electronegative atom will pull less and acquire a slight positive charge.
This is donated by a delta.
HCl , HF
Ionic Bonding,
> = 2.0
Complete transfer of one or more valence electrons.
Full charges on resulting ions.
NaCl
Is Aluminium metal or non-metal?
metal (은박지 생각)
H2 전기음성도 관련해서 설명
none of the atoms is going to have a greater pull on the electrons from the shared pair (electrons are shared equally)
H-Cl 전기음성도 관련해서 설명
electrons are shared unequally Cl is going to pull the electron towards itself.
- higher electronegativity value means that the atom/element can pull the e- from the covalent bond towards itself.
Is Hydrogen metal or non-metal?
non-metal
