Chemical Formulas and Chemical Bonding Obj: Identify how many of each element are in a compound based on the chemical formula. Explain why and how elements bonds Chemical Formulas and Chemical Bonding
Chemical Formulas Shows: How many elements are in a compound Ratio of atoms in a compound
Chemical Bonds Strong attractive force b/t atoms or ions in a molecule or cmpd. Formed by: Transferring e- (losing or gaining) Sharing e-
Stability Octet Rule: Most form bonds to have 8 valence e- Full outer energy level Stability is the driving force behind bond formation
What Determines Bonding? Elements bond based on the amount of e- they have and the charge they have.
Ionic Bonds Formed b/t two ions by the transfer of electrons Metal interact with nonmetals Positive ions form when the number of e- are less than the number of protons Group 1 metals ion 1+ Group 2 metals ion 2+ Group 13 metals ion 3+
Transferring e-
Check for Understanding 1. Number of valence e- in Aluminum A. 1 e- B. 2 e- C. 3 e- 2. Change in e- for octet A. lose 3 e- B. gain 3 e- C. gain 5 e- 3. Ionic charge of Al A. 3- B. 5- C. 3+
Check for Understanding Give the ionic charge for each of the following: 12 p+ and 10 e- O 2+ 2- 50 p+ and 46 e- 2+ 4+ 4- 15 p+ and 18 e- 3+ 3- 5-
Nonmetal ions Nonmetals in 15, 16 and 17 gain e- from metals Nonmetals add e- to achieve octet arrangement Nonmetal ionic charge: -3, -2, or -1
Ionic Bonds
Ionic Bonds Ionic bond—e- from Na is transferred to Cl, this causes a charge imbalance in each atom. The Na becomes (Na+) and the Cl becomes (Cl-), charge particles or ions
Covalent Bonds Formed by the sharing of e-
Covalent Bonds Between nonmetallic elements of similar electronegativity. Formed by sharing e- pairs Stable non-ionizing particles Bonds in all polyatomic and diatomic are all covalent bonds
Polar vs. Nonpolar Nonpolar covalent bonds—when e- are shared equally
Polar Covalent Bonds Formed when e- are shared but shared unequally
Water is a polar molecule because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, and e- are pulled closer to oxygen
Metallic Bonds Bond found in metals Holds metal atoms together very strongly Formed b/t atoms of metallic elements Form alloys: They do not combine with other metals Alloy—solution of a metal in a metal (steel, brass, bronze and pewter)
