Chemical Bonds: Attraction forces between atoms which hold them together in a compound.
Formed due to attractive forces between protons and electrons.
Types of Chemical Bonds:
Ionic Bonds: Formed between a metal and a nonmetal.
Covalent Bonds: Formed between two nonmetals.
Metallic Bonds: Formed between two metals.
Examples:
Atoms of Argon (Ar)
Molecules of Bromine (Br2)
Formula units of Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
Ionic Bonds:
Occurs between a metal (cation) and a nonmetal (anion).
Involves transfer of electron(s) from the metal to the nonmetal.
Compounds formed through ionic bonds are termed ionic compounds.
Cation and anion are held together by electrostatic (Coulombic) attractions.
In a crystal lattice structure, this attraction is referred to as lattice energy.
Empirical Formulas:
Represent the smallest ratio of atoms in a compound.
They may or may not indicate how many of each type of atom are present.
Example: Empirical formula for NaCl is NaCl.
Covalent Bonds:
Formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms.
The bond is a balance between attractive and repulsive forces:
Attractive forces: protons of atom A attract electrons of atom B.
Repulsive forces: electron-electron and proton-proton repulsions.
Molecular Compounds: Formed from covalently bonded atoms.
Chemical Formulas: Example of Ethanol: C2H6O (2 Carbon, 6 Hydrogen, and 1 Oxygen).
Metallic Bonds:
Occur in a lattice of metal atoms surrounded by a sea of shared electrons.
Electron Mobility: Metals are excellent conductors of electricity due to free-flowing electrons.
Elements:
Atomic Elements: Exist as single atoms (e.g., Noble gases).
Molecular Elements: Exist as diatomic or larger molecules (e.g., H2, O2, P4)
Allotropes: Different molecular forms of the same element (e.g., O2 vs O3 for oxygen).
Compounds:
Molecular Compounds: Formed by nonmetal atoms through covalent bonding (e.g. CCl4).
Ionic Compounds: Composed of cations and anions (e.g. NaCl).
May have simple or polyatomic ions such as NO3- (nitrate) or NH4+ (ammonium).
Chemical Formulas of Ionic Compounds:
Neutral compounds with a net charge of zero.
Written as empirical formulas; charges can be balanced using the criss-cross method.
Examples:
Aluminum Oxide: Al2O3
Barium Fluoride: BaF2
Steps: Determine the charge on cation and anion, adjust subscripts to balance overall charge.
Rules for Naming:
Name the cation (metal).
Name the anion (nonmetal) by changing the ending to -ide.
Example Names:
MgCl2: magnesium chloride
KBr: potassium bromide
Naming Examples:
Lithium and Bromine: LiBr (Lithium bromide)
Magnesium and Oxygen: MgO (Magnesium oxide)
Most transition metals can form multiple cations. The name includes a Roman numeral to reflect its charge (e.g., Copper(I) oxide vs Copper(II) oxide).
Polyatomic Ions: Charged groups of multiple atoms bonded by covalent bonds.
Naming: Name the cation and add the name of the polyatomic ion without changing its ending.
List of Common Polyatomic Ions:
Ammonium (NH4+)
Hydroxide (OH-)
Nitrate (NO3-)
Sulfate (SO4 2-) ... (further ions listed).
Naming rules for binary acids:
Add prefix hydro- to the second element's name.
Replace the second element's ending with -ic acid.
Change -ate to -ic and -ite to -ous when naming acids derived from polyatomic ions.
For prefixes like Per- or Hypo-, these carry over to the acid's name.
Determine the Name: For a formula such as H2SO4, know how to name the resulting compound based on its composition and structure.
Given Compounds: Practice naming and type of bonds present (ionic or covalent).
Understanding naming conventions for acids and ionic compounds helps in identifying elements and formulas.
