Chemical Bonds Compound: a 2 or more elements chemically bonded together in definite proportions Molecule: the smallest unit of most compounds
23
Chemical Bonds Chemical Bond: the force of attraction that holds two or more atoms together All atoms want to have a full outer level / shell of valence electrons. Chemical bonds involve the transfer or sharing of valence electrons All atoms need to have 8 valence electrons, except Hydrogen and Helium. Hydrogen and Helium only need 2 valence electrons to have a full outer level / shell.
24
Types of Chemical Bonds
Ionic Bonding: bond formed when a metal lends it’s electrons to a nonmetal Metal + Nonmetal e- Lender → e- Borrower + Charge - Charge No Overall Charge!!
25
Ionic Bonding Na+1 Cl-1 Metal must give away all valence electrons
Ex: Na and Cl Rules: Na Cl-1 Metal must give away all valence electrons Nonmetal must have a full outer shell Use arrows to show electron transfer Total oxidation = 0 (No overall charge)
26
Ionic Bonding Metal Nonmetal Na+1 Cl-1 NaCl Sodium Chloride
Ex: Na and Cl Naming Rules: Na Cl-1 NaCl Sodium Chloride Metal Nonmetal Change the ending to “ide”
27
Types of Chemical Bonds
Covalent Bond: bond that forms as a result of nonmetals sharing electrons Nonmetal + Sharing Electrons
28
Covalent Bonding Must fill valence shell of all nonmetals
Ex: C and O Rules: Must fill valence shell of all nonmetals Circle shared electron pairs Electrons may not be shared more than 1 time!
29
Covalent Bonding CO2 Carbon Dioxide
Naming Rules: Ex: C and O Nonmetal closest to the metals (most “cation-like” nonmetal) Nonmetal closest to the Noble Gases (most “anion-like nonmetal) Change ending to “ide” Use prefixes before both non-metals to show the number of each atom EXCEPTION: never use “mono” before the first nonmetal CO2 Carbon Dioxide 1 = Mono 2 = Di 3 = Tri 4 = Tetra 5 = Penta 6 = Hexa 7 = Hepta 8 = Octa 9 = Nona 10 = Deka
