Atoms and Bonding Ch. 1 Sec. 1 “Elements and Atoms” Book L pgs REVIEW Scientific theory - a well-tested idea that explains and connects a wide range of observations. Model – physical, mental, visual, and other representations of an idea to help people understand a concept that they cannot observe directly.

Atoms and Bonding Ch. 1 Sec. 1 “Elements and Atoms” Book L pgs REVIEW John Dalton’s Model All elements are made of atoms that cannot be divided. All atoms of the same element are exactly alike and have the same mass. Atoms of different elements are different and have different masses. An atom of one element cannot be changed into an atom of a different element. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed in any chemical change, only rearranged. Every compound is made of atoms of different elements, combined in a specific ratio.

Atoms and Bonding Valence Electrons and Bonding Valence electrons - The electrons that are in the highest energy level of an atom and that are involved in chemical reactions. The number of valence electrons in an atom of an element determines many properties of that element, including the ways in which the atom can bond with other atoms. - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table

Atoms and Bonding - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table Valence Electrons and Bonding Electron dot diagram - A representation of the valence electrons in an atom, using dots. Most elements that have a full set of valence electrons are “stable” or “unreactive” Ex. Nobel gases – Neon, Argon, Krypton

Atoms and Bonding Valence Electrons and Bonding When the valence shell of an atom is not full, one of two things can happen: 1.It will either take or share electrons from another atom to make it full 2.It will give up some loosely held electrons to make the new valence shell full Both scenarios make the atom “reactive” and a chemical bond will form Chemical bond - the force of attraction that holds two atoms together as a result of the rearrangement of electrons between them. - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table

Atoms and Bonding - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table The Periodic Table The periodic table is a system used worldwide for organizing elements into categories Elements are organized into rows and columns based on their atomic number.

Atoms and Bonding The Periodic Table Symbol - one- or two-letter set of characters that is used to identify an element. Atomic number - the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. Period - elements in the same horizontal row of the periodic table. Group/family - elements in the same vertical column of the periodic table. - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table

Atoms and Bonding - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table The Periodic Table As the number of protons (atomic number) increases, the number of electrons also increases. As a result, the properties of the elements change in a regular way across a period. A period ends when the highest energy level has eight electrons. The valence electrons of atoms in the next period are in a higher level so atoms in a group always have the same number of valence electrons

Atoms and Bonding - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table The Periodic Table Noble gas - an element of Group 18 of the periodic table. Typically “unreactive” The variety of colors in a “neon” sign results from passing an electric current through sealed glass tubes containing different noble gases.

Atoms and Bonding The Periodic Table Reactive Metals/Non-metals Halogen - an element belonging to Group 17 of the periodic table that has 7 valence electrons React easily with other elements whose atoms can give up or share electrons. Alkali metal – an element belonging to group 1 that have only one valence electron Can become chemically more stable by losing their one valence electron. - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table

Atoms and Bonding The Periodic Table Other Metals Most have one, two, or three valence electrons. React by losing these electrons, especially when they combine with oxygen or one of the halogens. Other Non-metals All of the nonmetals have four or more valence electrons. Become stable when they gain or share enough electrons to have a set of eight valence electrons. - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table

Atoms and Bonding The Periodic Table Metalloids Elements that lie along a zigzag line between the metals and nonmetals Depending on the conditions, these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetals Have from three to six valence electrons and can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements - Atoms, Bonding, and the Periodic Table

Atoms and Bonding - Ionic Bonds Ions and Ionic Bonds Ion - an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and become a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron, it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion.

Atoms and Bonding - Ionic Bonds Ions and Ionic Bonds Ionic bond - the attraction between two oppositely charged ions Form as a result of the attraction between positive and negative ions. Ionic compound - a compound that consists of positive and negative ions.

Atoms and Bonding Chemical Formulas and Names Chemical formula - a combination of symbols that represents the elements in a compound. Subscript - number in a chemical formula that tells the number of atoms in a molecule or the ratio of elements in a compound. When ionic compounds form, the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ions. The chemical formula for the compound reflects this balance. For an ionic compound, the name of the positive ion comes first, followed by the name of the negative ion. Ex: MgO is named magnesium oxide; NH 4 NO 3, named ammonium nitrate - Ionic Bonds

Atoms and Bonding - Ionic Bonds Properties of Ionic Compounds In general, ionic compounds are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. When dissolved in water or melted, they conduct electricity. Crystal - an orderly, 3-D pattern of ions or atoms in a solid. Every ion is attracted to ions of opposite charge that surround it The pattern remains the same no matter what the size of the crystal Ions in water can increase the melting point and the electrical conductivity

Atoms and Bonding How Covalent Bonds Form Covalent bond – a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons. usually form between atoms of nonmetals The force that holds atoms together in a covalent bond is the attraction of each atom’s nucleus for the shared pair of electrons. Molecule – a neutral particle made of two or more atoms joined by covalent bonds. - Covalent Bonds

Atoms and Bonding - Covalent Bonds How Covalent Bonds Form The number of covalent bonds that nonmetal atoms can form equals the number of electrons needed to make a total of eight (or a full outer shell) The oxygen atom in water and the nitrogen atom in ammonia are each surrounded by eight electrons as a result of sharing electrons with hydrogen atoms.

Atoms and Bonding How Covalent Bonds Form Double bond - a chemical bond formed when atoms share two pairs of electrons. Triple bond - a chemical bond formed when atoms share three pairs of electrons. An oxygen molecule contains one double bond, while a carbon dioxide molecule has two double bonds. A nitrogen molecule contains one triple bond. - Covalent Bonds

Atoms and Bonding Unequal Sharing of Electrons Atoms of some elements pull more strongly on shared electrons than do atoms of other elements. As a result, the electrons are pulled more toward one atom, causing the bonded atoms to have slight electrical charges. Polar bond - a covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally Nonpolar bond - a covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally. - Covalent Bonds

Atoms and Bonding - Covalent Bonds Unequal Sharing of Electrons Fluorine forms a nonpolar bond with another fluorine atom. In hydrogen fluoride, fluorine attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen does, so the bond formed is polar.

Atoms and Bonding - Covalent Bonds Unequal Sharing of Electrons A carbon dioxide molecule is a nonpolar molecule because of its straight-line shape. In contrast, a water molecule is a polar molecule because of its bent shape.
