A compound is a pure substance composed of more than one atom A chemical bond is a mutual electrical attraction between atoms in a compound Compounds can either be molecular or ionic
There are two types of bonding: 1. Ionic Bonds result from the transfer of electron from metal to nonmetal 2. Covalent Bonds result from the sharing of electrons between two atoms ▪ Polar covalent = unequal sharing ▪ Non-polar covalent = equal sharing
Composed of oppositely charged ions Composed of Metal + nonmetal Metals form cations (+) ▪ Low IE and low EA mean these atoms lose electrons readily Nonmetals form anions (-) ▪ high IE and high EA mean these atoms gain electrons readily Electrically neutral Formula unit: lowest whole # ratio of ions in the compound EX: NaCl, CaF 2
Solids at room temperature High melting point (>400 0 C) Soluble in water Conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water
Composed of two or more nonmetals Involve covalent bonding (Electrons are shared) Sharing “tricks” each element into thinking that their outer shells are filled Molecule: smallest unit of a molecular compound Molecular formula: tells the type and number of atoms in a molecule Ex: H 2 O, CO 2, CO
low melting point (<400 0 C) Usually NOT soluble in water DO NOT conduct electricity
Metal + nonmetal = ionic Nonmetal + nonmetal = molecular NaCl CO LiF H2O MgS More practice in packet
DUE MONDAY!!! Ion Flashcards… Name of ion on one side Symbol with charge on the other side 6 sets…keep them separate Quizzes will begin next week…one set at a time
Chemical formulas show the kinds and numbers of atoms in the smallest representative unit of that compound For example, CO2, the formula for carbon dioxide tells us that one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms form one molecule of CO2
Chemical formula for a covalent compound Show kind and number of atoms in a molecule Does not give any information about structure
A variety of diagrams and molecular models can be used to show molecular structure
Noble gases stand alone, do not combine chemically with any other element 7 elements exist as diatomic molecules Hydrogen = H2 Oxygen = O2 Nitrogen = N2 Fluorine = F2 Chlorine = Cl2 Bromine = Br2 Iodine = I2
A formula unit tells the whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound Ionic compounds do not exist as single units NaCl = 1:1 ratio MgCl 2 = 1:2 ratio
Atoms combine in whole number ratios so that the masses of elements in a compound are also in the same proportion
Apply the rule for naming and writing formulas for molecular compounds
A molecular compound composed of only two non-metallic elements For example: H2O, Atoms can often bond in more than one way For example, CO vs CO 2 Naming conventions are important Carbon monoxide will kill you, carbon dioxide will not
Used to describe number of atoms of each element present in one molecule
Carbon monoxide Prefix mono = one CO Carbon dioxide Prefix di = two CO2 Notice…NO mono prefix on the first element
Identify the prefix and the element that the prefix is attached to Write the correct symbols for each element with the appropriate subscripts Example: tetraiodine nonoxide Tetra = 4 so there are 4 iodine atoms Non or nona = 9 so there are nine oxygens Molecular formula = I 4 O 9
Sulfur trioxide Phosphorous pentafluoride Dinitrogen monoxide Phosphorous trichloride Dichlorine octaoxide
Subscript after the symbol for the element will tell the prefix to use for that element For example, CO 2 the #2 tells you there are two oxygen atoms therefore, oxygen will get the prefix If first element in formula is only one, no prefix For example, wouldn’t say monocarbon dioxide, just carbon dioxide End molecular names with -ide
CS 2 N2O3N2O3 OBr 2 SO 3 Carbon disulfide Dinitrogen trioxide Oxygen dibromide Sulfur trioxide
Electrons in the highest occupied energy level Involved in bonding Determine the chemical properties of the element
Look at electron configuration or group # on periodic table For example, Na Electron configuration = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1 1 valence e- All elements in group 1A have 1 valence e- For example, Cl Electron configuration = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 5 7 valence e- All elements in group 7A have 7 valence e-
Also called Lewis Dot diagrams Show valence electrons around element symbol Do not distinguish between s and p orbitals Example: chlorine (7 valence electrons)
all atoms want to achieve “NOBLE” status and be just like the NOBLE gases Noble gases have 8 valence electrons (octet) ▪ Except helium which has only 2 Atoms will interact in a way to fill their outer energy level so that it contains 8 electrons Electron dot diagrams can be used to show bonding
Oxygen (group VIA; atomic#8) How many valence electrons? How many more valence electrons needed to be stable? How many bonds will oxygen form?

1. Identify the elements that the color spheres in your kit will represent If you have a blue sphere with 5 holes, connect two of the holes with a spring 2. Build the 3-D model, draw it to the best of your ability 3. Structural formula = Lewis dot diagram without unshared electrons represented Do not try to recreate you ball and stick model
Electronegativity = tendency of an atom to attract electrons
Differences in electronegativities determine the nature of the bond If less than 0.4 = nonpolar covalent equal sharing of electrons between atoms If between 0.4 and 1.67 = polar covalent unequal sharing of electrons If greater than 1.67, IONIC
Polar covalent? Nonpolar covalent? Ionic? 1. Na and Cl (0.9 vs 3.0) 2. carbon and hydrogen (2.5 vs 2.1) 3. hydrogen and oxygen (2.1 vs 3.5)
Polar covalent? Nonpolar covalent? Ionic? 1. Na and Cl (0.9 vs 3.0) 2. carbon and hydrogen (2.5 vs 2.1) 3. hydrogen and oxygen (2.1 vs 3.5)
