Binary Compounds
Compound with 2 elements
How do ionic bonds form
Because of an attraction between a cation and an anion. They are held together by electrostatic force
Properties of IONIC compounds
Solids at room temp
Hard/Brittle
High melting/boiling points
Conduct electricity when dissolved in water
Structure of ionic compounds (Crystal lattice)
Crystal Lattice: rigid arrangement of ions in an ionic substance
Shape is determined by the size of the ions that make up the compound and the strength with which they attract each other
Electrolytic
Soluble in water, and conduct electricity
Hydrate
Ionic compound that contains water as part of its crystal structure
The water inside hydrate is called water of hydration
When the water is removed = anhydrous
Identifying acids
They are all AQUEOUS (dissolved in water)
They all have HYDROGEN IN THEM
NAMING ACIDS
ATE=IC
ITE=OUS
Covalent bond
A bond that causes from a pair of electrons from different atoms sharing
Molecular element vs compound
A molecular element consists of multiple atoms of the same type chemically bonded together. A molecular compound consists of atoms of different elements chemically bonded together
Properties of MOLECULAR compounds
Can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temp
Low melting/boiling point
Poor electrical conductivity
Bonding capacity
The number of covalent bonds an atom can make
Bonding electron
An electron in the valence shell of an atom, that can form a covalent bond with another atom
Lone pair
A pair of electrons that is not involved in covalent bonding
Electronegativity (EN)
The ability of an atom (when bonded) to attract bonding electrons to itself
What are the trends in EN from left to right and from top to bottom? Why?
Non-polar
Polar
ionic
0 - 0.4
0.4 - 1.7
above 1.7
VSEPR
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
theory says that e- repel each other as far away as possible
HELPS predict the 3D geometry of a molecule
MOLECULAR SHAPE: There is Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramid, and linear
Octet rule
When bonds form between atoms, the atoms gain, lose, or share electrons in such a way that they create a filled outer shell containing eight electrons
