*Why do substances bond? *More stability *Atoms want to achieve a lower energy state
*Between a metal and a non-metal (I, II group and 16, 17 group of periodic table, metal hydride, between cation and acid residue) *Metals lose electrons becoming a cations, while non-metals gain electrons becoming anions. *An ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.

Electrostatic (Lattice) Energy Lattice energy (E) is the energy required to completely separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into gaseous ions. E = k Q +Q - r Q + is the charge on the cation Q - is the charge on the anion r is the distance between the ions Lattice energy (E) increases as Q increases and/or as r decreases. cmpd MgF 2 MgO LiF LiCl lattice energy 2957 Q= +2,-1 3938 Q= +2,-2 1036 853 r F - < r Cl -
Ionic Structures *In an ionic compound (solid), the ions are packed together into a repeating array called a crystal lattice. *The simplest arrangement is one in which the spheres in the base are packed side by side. Opposite charges are attracted to each other. *Its called simple cubic packing (NaCl is an example)
*Depend on the forces between the particles *The stronger the bonding between the particles, the higher the M.P and BP *MP tends to depend on the existence of a regular lattice structure
*An impurity disrupts the regular lattice that its particle adopts in the solid state, so it weakens the bonding. *They always LOWER melting points *Its often used to check purity of a known molecular covalent compound because its MP will be off, proving its contamination
A covalent bond is a chemical bond in which two or more electrons are shared by two atoms. Why should two atoms share electrons? F + F F F 7e - 7e - 8e - 8e - Lewis structure of F 2 single covalent bond lone pairs F F lone pairs lone pairs F F lone pairs single covalent bond
Lewis structure of water single covalent bonds H + O + H H O H or H O H 2e - 8e - 2e - Double bond two atoms share two pairs of electrons O C O or O C O 8e - 8e - 8e - double bonds Triple bond two atoms share three pairs of electrons N N 8e - 8e - triple bond or N N triple bond
Lengths of Covalent Bonds Bond Lengths Triple bond < Double Bond < Single Bond
Polar covalent bond or polar bond is a covalent bond with greater electron density around one of the two atoms (electrons are shared unequally) electron poor region electron rich region e - poor e - rich H F H F d + d -
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract toward itself the electrons in a chemical bond. Electronegativity - relative, F is highest electron poor region H electron rich region F

*The shape of the molecule directly influences the overall polarity of the molecule. *If there is symmetry the charges cancel each other out, making the molecule non-polar *If there is no symmetry, then its polar Polarity
*Polar bonds do not guarantee a polar molecule *Ex: CCl 4 and CO 2 both have polar bonds, but both are NON-POLAR molecules. They have a dipole moment of zero *The greater the dipole moment, the more polar the molecule
*Polar molecules have higher melting and boiling points (for example the BP of HF is 19.5 C, and the BP of F 2 is 188 C). *Polar solvents dissolve ionic and polar molecules more efficiently than non-polar solvents

The bent shape creates an overall positive end and negative end of the molecule = POLAR The symetry of the molecule Cancels out the charges Making this NON-POLAR No overall DIPOLE
* Linear: * When two atoms attached to central atom are the same, the molecule will be Non-Polar (CO 2 ) * When the two atoms are different the dipoles will not cancel, and the molecule will be Polar (HCN) * Bent: * The dipoles created from this molecule will not cancel creating a net dipole moment and the molecule will be Polar (H 2 O)
* Pyramidal: * The dipoles created from this molecule will not cancel creating a net dipole and the molecule will be Polar (NH 3 ) * Trigonal Planar: * When the three atoms attached to central atom are the same, the molecule will be Non-Polar (BF 3 ) * When the three atoms are different the dipoles will not cancel, resulting in a net dipole, and the molecule will be Polar (CH 2 O)
* When the four atoms attached to the central atom are the same the molecule will be Non- Polar * When three atoms are the same, and one is different, the dipoles will not cancel, and the molecule will be Polar

Hydrogen Bond Intermolecular Forces The hydrogen bond is a special dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar N-H, O-H, or F-H bond and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.
Why is the hydrogen bond considered a special dipole-dipole interaction?
Types of Crystals Metallic Bonds- electron sea model - metal cations in a sea of valence electrons the valence electrons do not belong to a single cation, but are delocalized and may move about Good conductors of heat and electricity nucleus & inner shell e - Cross Section of a Metallic Crystal mobile sea of e -
Metallic bond *Occurs between atoms with low electronegativities *Metal atoms pack close together in 3- D, like oranges in a box.
Conductivity *Delocalised electrons are free to move so when a potential difference is applied they can carry the current along *Mobile electrons also mean they can transfer heat well *Their interaction with light makes them shiny (lustre)
*Depend on the forces between the particles *The stronger the bonding between the particles, the higher the M.P and BP
*It takes energy to break the bonds between the C 12 H 22 O 11 molecules in sucrose crystal structure. *It also takes energy to break the hydrogen bonds in water so that one of these sucrose molecules can fit into solution. *In order for sugar to dissolve, there must be a greater release of energy when the dissolution occurs than when the breaking of bonds occur.
*The energy needed to break the ionic bond must be less than the energy that is released when ions interact with water. *The intermolecular ion-dipole force is stronger than the electrostatic ionic bond *Breaks up the compound into its ions in solution.
*Soluble salt in water breaks up as NaCl (s) Na + (aq) + Cl - (aq)
