1. Ionic and Covalent Bonding

2. » Atoms bond when their valence electrons interact ˃Atoms with full outermost energy levels are not reactive (Noble Gases)

4. » Atoms bond when their valence electrons interact ˃Atoms with full outermost energy levels are not reactive (Noble Gases) ˃Atoms with partially filled energy levels are more reactive (Groups 1-17) » Goal of atoms: have a full octet (Follow Octet Rule)

5. » Octet Rule: atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons so they have 8 electrons in their outer shell. » By completing their octet (either gaining or losing electrons), atoms achieve “Noble Gas Status” and have the electron configuration of a noble gas.

6. » The positively charged nucleus attracts the negatively charged electrons; this electrostatic force holds 2 atoms together. » Recall: The strong nuclear force is responsible for holding an ATOM together.

8. » Electrons are placed in shells according to rules: ˃1 st shell: can hold up to 2 electrons ˃2 nd shell: can hold up to 8 electrons ˃3 rd shell: can hold up to 18 electrons, but after 8, you move to the 4 th shell

11. » Ionic Bond: formed when metals react with nonmetals; electrons are transferred » Metals lose electrons to form POSITIVELY charged ions, or cations ˃Examples: Lithium (Li), Sodium(Na), Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg) » Positive ions form when the number of electrons are less than the number of protons ˃Group 1 metals → ion +1 ˃Group 2 metals → ion +2 ˃Group 13 metals → ion +3

21. » Nonmetals gain electrons to form NEGATIVELY charged ions, or anions ˃Examples: Oxygen (O), Sulfur (S), Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl) » Negative ions form when the number of electrons is more than the number of protons ˃Group 15 nonmetals → ion -3 ˃Group 16 nonmetals → ion -2 ˃Group 17 nonmetals → ion -1

22. » Electrons are transferred in ionic bonding ˃One atom gains electrons (typically nonmetals), and the other atoms loses electrons (typically metals)

23. » Example: Sodium loses one electron to get a +1 charge (Na + ). Chlorine gains an electron to get a -1 charge (Cl - ). Then, the oppositely charged ions attract each other and form a bond.

25. » Ionic compounds are in the form of network structures; they therefore have high melting and boiling points because of the high amount of energy required to pull apart the bonds

26. » Ratio of Ions ˃The chemical formula NaCl tells us there is 1 Na + ion and 1 Cl - ion, forming a neutrally charged particle. +Since there is only one atom of each element, there is a 1:1 ratio ˃The chemical formula CaF 2 tells us there is 1 Ca +2 ion and 2 F - ions. 2 F - ions are needed to balance out the +2 charge so the particle is neutral

27. » Electricity: ˃Solid ionic compounds don’t conduct electricity ˃When dissolved in water, ionic compounds conduct electricity because the ions are free to move

28. » Covalent Bond: a bond formed when atoms share one or more pair of electrons ˃Often made of molecules ˃Formed between nonmetal atoms

30. » There are 2 types of covalent bonds: ˃Nonpolar covalent bonds: electrons are shared equally; often occurs between 2 atoms of the same element (diatomic molecules) ˃Polar covalent bonds: electrons are shared unequally; often occurs between 2 atoms of different elements; shared electrons are attracted to the nucleus of 1 atom more than the other +Usually, electrons are more attracted to atoms of elements located to the right and closer to the top of the periodic table

32. Note: Partial charges occur with polar covalent bonds

33. » Covalent bonds form molecules, which tend to have low melting and boiling points ˃This is because their structures often do not form a crystal lattice » Covalent molecules do not conduct electricity well.

34. » When writing structural formulas: ˃1 line drawn indicates that atoms share 1 pair, or 2 electrons +Example: Cl-Cl ˃2 lines drawn indicate that atoms share 2 pair, or 4 electrons +Example: O=O ˃3 lines drawn indicate that 3 pair, or 6 electrons are being shared

35. » A polyatomic ion is an ion made of 2 or more atoms that are covalently bonded and that act like a single ion
