10 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Compounds and Molecules What Are Compounds? continued Chemical structure shows the bonding within a compound. A chemical structure is the arrangement of atoms in a substance. A bond length is the average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms. A bond angle is the angle formed by two bonds to the same atom. Chapter 5

Compounds with network structures are strong solids. Example: Quartz is made of silicon and oxygen atoms bonded in a strong, rigid structure: Chapter 5

15 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Compounds and Molecules How Does Structure Affect Properties? continued Compounds made of networks of bonded ions have high melting points and boiling points. Example: Table salt—sodium chloride—is made of a tightly packed repeating network of positive sodium ions and negative chlorine ions. Chapter 5

16 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Compounds and Molecules How Does Structure Affect Properties? continued Some compounds are made of molecules. Some compounds made of molecules are solids, others are liquids, others are gases. The strength of attractions between molecules varies. Attractions between water molecules are called hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonding is depicted on the next slide. Chapter 5

18 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Objectives Explain why atoms sometimes join to form bonds. Explain why some atoms transfer their valence electrons to form ionic bonds, while other atoms share valence electrons to form different bonds. Differentiate between ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. Compare the properties of substances with different types of bonds. Chapter 5

19 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Bellringer You have already learned that atoms are the most stable when their outer energy levels are filled. One way to model atoms is using diagrams, such as the flowers shown below. To represent a stable atom, the flower diagram must have eight petals around the center. Assume that each petal represents an electron with a negative charge and that the centers of the flowers represent positively charged nuclei. Chapter 5

20 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Bellringer, continued 1. What had to happen to the flower diagrams so that they could represent stable atoms? 2. What happened to the charge on each of the flower diagrams? 3. What do you think will happen to the oppositely charged ions represented by the flower diagrams? Chapter 5

21 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding What Holds Bonded Atoms Together? Bonded atoms usually have a stable electron configuration. Example: As shown at right, when two hydrogen atoms bond, their electron clouds overlap. The resulting hydrogen molecule has an electronic structure similar to the noble gas helium. Chapter 5

22 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding What Holds Bonded Atoms Together? continued Bonds can bend and stretch without breaking. Although a “bar” is sometimes used to represent a bond between two atoms, chemical bonds behave more like flexible springs. Chapter 5

23 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Ionic Bonds Ionic bonds are formed between oppositely charged ions. As shown at right, ionic compounds are in the form of networks of formula units, not molecules. Chapter 5 When melted or dissolved in water, ionic compounds conduct electricity.

25 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Metallic Bonds A metallic bond is a bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons around them. Electrons move freely between metal atoms. This model explains why metals: conduct electricity conduct heat are flexible Chapter 5

27 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Covalent Bonds A covalent bond is a bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. Covalent compounds can be solids, liquids, or gases. Bonds in which atoms share electrons equally are called nonpolar covalent bonds, as shown below. Chapter 5

28 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Covalent Bonds, continued Atoms do not always share electrons equally. An unequal sharing of electrons forms a polar covalent bond. Atoms may share more than one pair of electrons. Chapter 5

30 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Polyatomic Ions A polyatomic ion is an ion made of two or more atoms. There are many common polyatomic ions. Some are shown at right. Chapter 5 Parentheses group the atoms of a polyatomic ion. Example: the chemical formula for ammonium sulfate is written as (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4, not N 2 H 8 SO 4.

31 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 2 Ionic and Covalent Bonding Polyatomic Ions, continued Some polyatomic anion names relate to their oxygen content. An -ate ending is used to name an ion with more oxygen. Examples: sulfate (SO 4 2– ), nitrate (NO 3 – ), chlorate (ClO 3 – ) An -ite ending is used to name an ion with less oxygen. Examples: sulfite (SO 3 2– ), nitrite (NO 2 – ), chlorite (ClO 2 – ) Chapter 5

34 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 3 Compound Names and Formulas Bellringer Below are models of two imaginary molecules made with construction toys. In the first model, the sticks and balls are simply pushed together. In the second model, in the shaded connection, some clay has been stuck into the holes to hold the sticks more tightly. In a similar way, not all bonds between atoms are the same. Some are tighter than others. Chapter 5

37 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 3 Compound Names and Formulas Naming Ionic Compounds Names of cations include the elements of which they are composed. Example: when an atom of sodium loses an electron, a sodium ion, Na +, forms. Names of anions are altered names of elements. Example: when an atom of fluorine gains an electron, a fluoride ion, F –, forms. Chapter 5

38 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 3 Compound Names and Formulas Naming Ionic Compounds, continued Some cation names must show their charge. Iron can form two different cations. Fe 2 O 3 is made of Fe 3+ ions, so it is named iron(III)oxide. FeO is made of Fe 2+ ions, so it is named iron(II) oxide. To determine the charge of a transition metal cation, look at the total charge of the compound. You can tell that the iron ion in Fe 2 O 3 has a charge of 3+ because the total charge of the compound must be zero, and an oxide ion, O 2–, has a a charge of 2–. Fe 2 O 3 → (2 × 3+) + (3 × 2–) = 0 Chapter 5

40 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 3 Compound Names and Formulas Math Skills Writing Ionic Formulas What is the chemical formula for aluminum fluoride? 1. List the symbols for each ion. Symbol for an aluminum ion (from Table 4 in your book): Al 3+ Symbol for a fluoride ion from (from Table 5 in your book): F – 2. Write the symbols for the ions with the cation first. Al 3+ F – Chapter 5

41 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu 3. Find the least common multiple of the ions’ charges. The least common multiple of 3 and 1 is 3. To make a neutral compound, you need a total of three positive charges and three negative charges. To get three positive charges: you need only one Al 3+ ion because 1 × 3+ = 3+. To get three negative charges: you need three F – ions because 3 × 1– = 3– 4. Write the chemical formula, indicating with subscripts how many of each ion are needed to make a neutral compound.

45 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 3 Compound Names and Formulas Chemical Formulas for Covalent Compounds A compound’s simplest formula is its empirical formula. An empirical formula tells the composition of a compound in terms of the relative numbers and kinds of atoms in the simplest ratio. Empirical formulas are determined by taking the ratio of masses of elements within a compound and multiplying them by molar masses, as shown at right. Chapter 5

46 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 3 Compound Names and Formulas Chemical Formulas for Covalent Compounds, continued Different compounds can have the same empirical formula. Molecular formulas are determined from empirical formulas. A molecular formula is a chemical formula that shows the number and kinds of atoms in a molecule. In some cases, a compound’s molecular formula is the same as its empirical formula. Chapter 5

78 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Reading Skills Spider silk, a long polymer made of a chain of amino acids, is one of the strongest known fibers. It is strong enough to support the spider and has enough elasticity to absorb the energy of the collision of a flying insect. The strength comes from the covalent bonds between units of the chain and the elasticity is the result of interactions between different parts of the molecule. Coils or folds in the polymer expand on impact. Spiders can make at least seven different kinds of silk for different purposes by varying the amino acids. Scientists studying the silk structure have identified some of the structures that account for its properties but still have more to learn from spiders. Standardized Test Prep Chapter 5
