Chapter 3. Crystal Binding Energy of a crystal and crystal binding Cohesive energy of Molecular crystals Ionic crystals Metallic crystals Elasticity What causes matter to exist in three different forms? If the intermolecular forces are strong, at relatively higher temperatures a compound could exist as a solid or a liquid. The temperature of matter is directly related to the kinetic energy of the molecules or particles making up the matter. This is given by the kinetic molecular theory (KMT) matter applies to all phases of matter, gas, liquid and solid. Inter-particle forces London Dispersion or Van der Waals Ionic bond Covalent bond Hydrogen Bonding Dipole-dipole Metallic bond
London Dispersion-Van der Waals Forces These forces are the weakest of all intermolecular attractions and occur in nonpolar molecules. The London dispersion forces results from instantaneous shifts of electron cloud of non-polar molecules. These shifts in electron cloud create instantaneous dipoles with very short lifetime. A weaker attractive force results because of the short lived dipole attractions between two molecules. Non-polar molecules such as H 2 and N 2 can be cooled to liquids at very low temperature due to the existence of London Dispersion forces. Crystals of inert gases Temporary dipole moments The weakest possible bond is that between non-polar molecules and noble gas atoms (He, Ne, Kr, Ar, Xe, and Ra). These have closed electronic structures - and at first sight should not form bonds. For He this is almost true: the gas condenses at 4.2 K, and the liquid freezes only at 0.95 K at a pressure of 26 atm. The interaction between neutral particles is best described by the van der Waals - London interaction. Cohesive Energies of Elements
Van der Waals Interaction In the van der Waals interaction, the long range cohesive potential results from the electrostatic attraction between two mutually induced electric dipoles. Its dependence on the separation r between two molecules has the form and α is the polarizability of the molecule U 12 (r) = - B/ r 6 Repulsive term Repulsive interaction Repulsive Interaction:Pauli Exclusion Principle Two electrons can not have their quantum numbers equal
Lennard-Jones potential These two attractive and repulsive terms are combined in the Lennard-Jones potential Ionic Crystals: Ionic Bonding Atoms whose atomic structure only deviates by one or two electrons from a closed outer shell, may easily lose or gain electrons to become a stable charged ion. For example Na: (1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3p 2 3p 6 ) 4s 1 loses its outer 4s electron to become Na + : (1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3p 2 3p 6 ) which has the stable Ne electronic structure Similarly F: 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3p 2 3p 5 gains an electron to become F - : (1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3p 2 3p 6 ) Two such ions will be attracted by a Coulomb force, with a binding energy Coulomb s Model where e = charge on an electron = 1.602 x 10-19 C ε 0 = permittivity of vacuum = 8.854 x 10-12 C 2 J -1 m -1 Z A = charge on ion A Z B = charge on ion B d = separation of ion centers
Ionic Interaction Two such ions will be attracted by a Coulomb force, with a binding energy where r 0 is the equilibrium separation of the ions and q+ and q- are the charges of the positive and negative ions respectively. The repulsive term U R (r) is a short range interaction Repulsive interaction Pauli exclusion principle Cohesive Energy Coulombic Attractions and Repulsions in the Ionic Crystals A =

This include the attraction between all polar molecules through the dipoles (except F-H, O-H and N-H dipoles) dipolar covalent bond formed by unequal sharing of electrons of bonds in a molecule. A molecule can be non-polar even though it may have polar covalent bond because of the symmetry of the molecular structure canceling the dipoles. Therefore, there are no dipole-dipole interactions in non-polar molecules. Molecular Structure and Bonding Bonding Theories 1. Lewis Theory 2. VSEPR Theory 3.

Hydrogen Bonding Three special cases of stronger dipole-dipole interactions resulting from F-H, O-H and N-H dipolar covalent bond are called hydrogen bonding. This is because F, O and N have the largest electronegativities among other elements. Hydrogen bonding (between O-H and O-H dipoles) in water allows water to exist as a liquid at room temperature. N-H dipole in proteins allows the formation of doubles helix structure in DNA and other complex structures found in living cells. Hydrogen bonding in HF 2 - F - F - H + Bonding Models for Metals Bonding Models for Metals Molecular orbital bands Band Theory of Bonding in Solids
Metallic Bonding Metals are held together by delocalized bonds formed from the atomic orbitals of all the atoms in the lattice. The idea that the molecular orbitals of the band of energy levels are spread or delocalized over the atoms of the piece of metal accounts for bonding in metallic solids. Bonding Models for Metals Band Theory of Bonding in Solids Bonding in solids such as metals, insulators and semiconductors may be understood most effectively by an expansion of simple MO theory to assemblages of scores of atoms Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals
