Section 1: Covalent Compounds Covalent bonding is the sharing of pairs of electrons between two non-metals Non-metals need extra electrons to get a full outer shell. Neither can give their electrons up, so they share. For example, both hydrogen and chlorine need one electron to get a full outer shell. So one electron from each element overlaps to ensure that hydrogen has 2 electrons in its shell, and chlorine has 8 electrons in its shell. How to draw covalent bonds: Example: Methane, CH 4. Step 1: Look at which group they are in to find out how many electrons they need to fill their outer energy shell. Carbon needs 4 and hydrogen needs 1. Step 2: The number of electrons needed is the number of each element can have. Hydrogen can only bond once, and bond four times. Think of it like this: Step 3: Draw the central atom in this case Spread the electrons evenly. Step 4: For each bond needed, add one of hydrogen s, overlapping to ensure that every paired up. bonds that carbon can carbon. your electron is Step 5: Check! Make sure each atom has a full outer shell! If not, go back and try again! Section 2: Alkali Metals All of the alkali metals, in group 1, are soft and highly reactive which is unusual because most metals are strong and quite unreactive. Their reactivity increases as you go down the group. They react with water to make hydroxides, and oxygen to make oxides these are alkaline substances with a ph of 8 and above. They usually turn universal indicator purple. 6

Simple Covalent Structures: Section 2: Types of Covalent Compounds Simple covalent molecules have strong covalent bonds, but only have low boiling points because there are weak intermolecular forces, which don t require much energy to break: Giant Covalent structures: Giant covalent structures also have covalent bonds, which are strong. They do not have intermolecular forces here, and therefore a lot of energy is needed to break the bonds. Therefore they have high melting points. 7

Section 4: Chromatography Chromatography can be used to separate mixtures of coloured compounds. Mixtures that are suitable for separation by chromatography include inks, dyes and colouring agents in food. Setting up a chromatogram: Simple chromatography is carried out on paper. A spot of the mixture is placed near the bottom of a piece of chromatography paper and the paper is then placed upright in a suitable solvent, eg water. The solvent is the liquid that will dissolve the dye/ink. As the solvent soaks up the paper, it carries the mixtures with it. Different components of the mixture will move at different rates. This separates the mixture out. Retention Factor, Rf: Different chromatograms and the separated components of the mixtures can be identified by calculating the Rf value using the equation: Rf = distance moved by the compound distance moved by the solvent The Rf value of a particular compound is always the same - if the chromatography has been carried out in the same way. This allows industry to use chromatography to identify compounds in mixtures. In this example, the unknown sample is an impure mixture of two inks blue and yellow. 9

Covalent bonding is a shared pair of electrons Ionic = lattice. Covalent = molecules Check the revision guide for each, or the covalent bonding board Check the revision guide for each, or the covalent bonding board Dissolve them in water. Add electrodes connected to a circuit. It if lights up, it is ionic, if not it is covalent Low melting points and don't conduct Low melting points: Weak intermolecular forces / weak forces between the molecules which don't need much energy to break Don t conduct: No spare electrons to carry on a charge High melting points and don't conduct High melting points: lots of strong covalent bonds which need a lot of energy to break Don t conduct: No spare electrons to carry on a charge Diamond: Forms four strong covalent bonds, making it hard Graphite: Forms three strong covalent bonds. One spare electron which can move and carry a charge electrode. Has layers which can slide lubricant Ionic: When molten, the ions are free to move. Covalent: No spare electrons that are free to move Separating funnel turn the tap Cool down to -200 degrees. Remove carbon dioxide and water. Start to warm back up. Nitrogen will become a gas first and can be collected at the top. Oxygen stays a liquid Draw a line and add a cross in pencil at the bottom of the chromatography paper.
