Chemical Bonds and Chemical Bonding

Covalent Bond: Sharing of electron pairs between atomsIonic Bond: Transfer of electrons from one atom to anotherMetallic Bond: Attraction between metal ions and delocalized electronsBond Length: Distance between nuclei of bonded atomsBond Energy: Energy required to break a bondPolarity: Distribution of electrical charge across a bondElectronegativity: Ability of an atom to attract electronsLewis Structures: Diagrams showing bonding between atomsValence Electrons: Electrons in the outer shell involved in bondingOctet Rule: Atoms tend to bond to achieve a full outer shell (8 electrons)

1.     Ionic bonds; an electrostatic attraction where one atom donates an electron to another atom

o   follows octet rule; electrons (8) completely transferred

o   atoms become ions

o   electrostatic force involved

o   high activation energy requires to break the ionic bonds

2.     Non-polarised Covalent bonds; a type of bond that occurs when two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other

o   shared electron, no electrostatic force holds these electrons together

o   thus weaker than ionic bond

o   no ionic charge

3.     Polarised Covalent bonds; exists when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons in a covalent bond

o   unequal sharing of electrons, partial + & - charges

o   affinity for electrons; tendency of an atom/compound to combine by chemical reaction with atoms or compounds of unlike composition

o   shared electrons spend more time circulating oxygen atom

Chemical Bonds =

-       need to achieve full valence shall (8) [some exceptions – e.g. H]

-       only valence electrons participate in chemical bonding

-       law of conservation of mass: mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions

-       in chemical equations: reactants ® products

-       equal number of each atom both sides

Summary of Types of Chemical Bonds

Chemical bonds are essential for the formation of compounds and can be categorized into three main types:

  1. Ionic Bonds

    • Formed through electrostatic attraction.

    • One atom donates an electron to another, adhering to the octet rule (8 electrons).

    • Atoms become ions due to complete electron transfer.

    • Involves a strong electrostatic force.

    • High activation energy is required to break these bonds.

  2. Non-polar Covalent Bonds

    • Occur when two atoms share a pair of electrons equally.

    • No electrostatic force holds the shared electrons together.

    • Weaker than ionic bonds.

    • No ionic charge is present.

  3. Polarised Covalent Bonds

    • Formed when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally.

    • Results in partial positive and negative charges due to unequal sharing.

    • Atoms have varying affinities for electrons, influencing their chemical reactivity.

    • Shared electrons tend to spend more time around the more electronegative atom (e.g., oxygen).

Key Concepts in Chemical Bonding

  • The goal of bonding is to achieve a full valence shell (8 electrons), with some exceptions (e.g., hydrogen).

  • Only valence electrons are involved in chemical bonding.

  • The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.

  • In chemical equations, reactants transform into products, maintaining an equal number of each atom on both sides.
