Lecture 15 Flashcards
Ionic bonding
- Electron transfer
- metal + nonmetal
- Na+ Cl-
Covalent bonding
- electron sharing
- non-metal - + non-metal
- C—C, C—O
Metallic bonding
- election pooling
- metal + metal
- Na Na
Lattice energy
- depends on charge and radius
- Energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid into gaseous ions (or the energy released when a mole of ionic solid is formed from gaseous ion)
- cannot be measured directly, but can be estimated using the Born-Haber cycle
What is the cause of lattice energy?
Electrostatic interactions of ions
Coulomb’s law definition
Electrostatic energy of attraction or repulsion between two charges (Q1 and Q2) is direction proportional to the produce of their magnitudes
Coulomb’s law equation
E ∝ (Q1*Q2) / r
r: distance between cations and anions is the sum of the individual radii)
What happens to lattice energy when the ionic charge increases?
Lattice energy becomes more exothermic
If ionic charge increases….then
- Electrostatic interaction increases
- Lattice energy increases
Considering lattice energy, if you double the charges…then
The energy quadruples
Ionic compounds
Transferring lecterns creates closed shells
Covalent compounds
Sharing electrons creates closed shells in most covalent compounds
