Chemical Bonding
Transcript: Chemical Bonding by McKenzie Tangren The three main types of chem. bonding are: ionic, covalent, and metallic! Other types are non-polar covalent bonding, polar bonding, and polar-covalent bonding. IONIC BONDING :) Ionic Bonds create Ionic Compounds An Ionic Compound is a 3D network of both positive and negative ions that attract each other. These compounds are usually harder because the attraction is so strong between the positive and negative ions. Since they are harder it makes them more brittle causing in a higher boiling point. Formula Unit- lowest whole # ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. How can you tell how strong an ionic compound is? by Lattice energy! Lattice Engergy can measure the strengh of the bonds that make up an ionic solid compound! Generally atoms that make up metal bonds bond ionically with atoms of nonmetals. Atoms of metals bond metallically with each other. Atoms of nonmetals bond with each other covalently. How I remember is that ionic is the odd one out and has opposites it has metal and nonmetal. If it bonds metal with metal then i see it as pure metal therefore it must be metallically bonded. Last, covalent really has nothing to do with metal so it is strictly nonmetal against nonmetal. COVALENT BONDING :) A covalent bond is where two atoms are connected because they share a pair of electrons. If the bond has more than one pair of shared electrons, then it is called a multipe bond. Atoms that make up molecules are connected by covalent bonding. How do you determine the strength of a Chemical Bond you may ask. Well you can determine it by bond energy. Bond length is the average distance between nuclei in two bonded atoms in a molecule. Single bond= 1 electron pair is shared Double bond= 2 electron pairs are shared Triple= 3 electron pairs are shared Lewis Dot Structures! what they are is a diagram which shows the bonding relationships with atoms in a molecule. This process is commonly called electron dot notation. Usually, bonding is shown through a Lewis Dot Structure, however, if it cannot be represented that way then it is shown through Resonance Structures. Octet Rule!!! atoms usually combine so that they have 8 electrons in the outer most shell (valence shell/valence electrons). Molecules and Ions are more stable when their valence shell is complete with all 8 valence electrons. Polyatomic Ions- are groups of atoms that are charged and held together simply by covalent bonds. We all have a pretty good idea of what a molecule is right? In basic definition a molecule is a group of two or more atoms that are held tightly together by covalent bonds. Now we know what a molecule is, what is a diatomic molecule? A diatomic molecule is a molecule that consists of strictly two atoms no more than two. Metallic Bonding :) Metal bonding is and attraction of metal atoms and moblie electrons floating in a conduction band between metal atoms. Characteristics of a metallic Bond! Ductile- means its mallable basically something that can be drawn into sheets. they have a Luster. they are Mallable, which is the same thing as being ductile. they have high electrical conductivity. Conduction Band- a sort of semi conductor that electrons move freely on. Band Gap- energy difference between the highest valence band and the lowest conduction band. The smaller the band gap between the valence and conduction bands gives metals their characteristics of high electrical conductivity, malleability, ductility, and luster. Intermolecular forces :) Intermolecular Forces: attraction forces is how I see them. London dispersion Force- intermolecular attraction that comes from the continuous motion of electrons and the making of instantaneous dipoles. Intermolecular forces (Dipole-Dipole and London Dispersion forces) exist in only certain types of molecules. Like Hydrogen Bonding, this is a special case of Dipole-Dipole forces working. The End!!! In an Ionic bond, one atom either gains or loses an electron. this is the transfer of electrons. Triple What is a Dipole? A Dipole is an equal pair of opposite electric charges. Double "hey, wanna make a molecule?" Hydrogen Bond between 2 water molecules! Some Common Ions Single Did you know, most all of the atoms are bonded to other atoms chemically? This creates a compound. "sure!"
