bonds

Cards (40)

  • Chemical bond
    Mutual attraction between two atoms resulting from the simultaneous attraction between their nuclei and the outer electrons
  • The energy of the combined atoms is lower than that of the individual atoms resulting in higher stability
  • Lewis dot diagram
    Structural formula in which valence electrons are represented by dots or crosses
  • Valence electrons

    Electrons in the highest energy level of an atom in which there are electrons
  • Covalent bond
    Sharing of electrons between two atoms to form a molecule
  • Molecule
    Group of two or more atoms covalently bonded and that function as a unit
  • Bonding pair
    Pair of electrons that is shared between two atoms in a covalent bond
  • Lone pair
    Pair of electrons in the valence shell of an atom that is not shared with another atom
  • Electronegativity
    Measure of the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract bonding electrons
  • Non-polar covalent bond

    Bond in which the electron density is shared equally between the two atoms
  • Polar covalent bond

    Bond in which the electron density is shared unequally between the two atoms
  • Bond energy
    Energy needed to break one mole of its molecules into separate atoms
  • Bond length
    Average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms
  • Bond energy and bond length
    Bonds with a shorter bond length require more energy to break than bonds with a longer bond length
  • Strength of a chemical bond
    Shorter bond length,
    smaller bonded atoms,
    more bonds (single, double, triple) between the atoms result in stronger bonds
  • Intermolecular forces
    Forces between molecules
  • 6 Types of intermolecular forces
    • Mutually induced dipole forces or London forces
    • Ion-induced dipole forces
    • Dipole-dipole forces
    • Dipole-induced dipole forces
    • Hydrogen bonding
    • ion-dipole
  • Intermolecular forces are different from interatomic forces (intramolecular forces)

  • Strength of induced dipole forces increases with molecular size for non-polar molecules
  • Intermolecular forces
    Affect boiling point, melting point, vapour pressure and solubility
  • Boiling point: The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a substance equals atmospheric pressure. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling point
  • Melting point: The temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are at equilibrium. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the melting point
  • Vapour pressure: The pressure exerted by a vapour at equilibrium with its liquid in a closed system. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the lower the vapour pressure
  • Solubility: The property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance (solute) to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution
  • Non-polar covalent bond

    Atoms attract the shared pair(s) of electrons equally
  • Polar covalent bond
    One atom attracts the shared pair(s) of electrons more than the other atom
  • Non-polar molecule

    Has an even distribution of charge and is symmetrical
  • Polar molecule

    Has an uneven distribution of charge and is non-symmetrical
  • Linear molecules consisting of identical atoms have a pure covalent, non-polar bond
  • Linear molecules consisting of different atoms have a polar covalent bond due to unequal sharing of electrons
  • Hydrogen bonds
    H in compound with FON
  • Intermolecular forces
    • The higher the intermolecular forces, the more energy is required to break the bonds
  • Hydrogen bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole forces
  • ICE

  • trigonal planar
    • 4 atoms bonded to central atom and no lone pairs
  • Hydrogen bonds
    A specific type of a dipole-dipole force and therefore also a Van der Waals force
  • Types of particles and associated forces
    • Ions - Coulombic forces/electrostatic forces
    • Ion and polar molecule - Ion-dipole
    • Two polar molecules - dipole-dipole
    • Ion and non-polar molecule - ion induced dipole and non-polar molecule - Dipole-dipole
    • Non-polar molecules - Ion-induced dipole, Dipole-induced dipole (or hydrogen bond in special cases), Dispersion (London) forces/induced dipole forces
  • 5 influences of intermolecular force
    • state of matter
    • size of molecule
    • density
    • boiling and melting points
    • viscosity
  • As the boiling point of a liquid increases, the energy required to overcome the intermolecular forces increases.
  • The greater the density of a substance, the closer together the particles are and hence the stronger the intermolecular forces between them.
