Forming Compounds

Compounds:  pure substances containing two or more elements in fixed proportions

 when atoms collide, valence electrons interact to make valence shells stable (like that of nearest noble gas)

There are two types of compounds:

 atom may gain electrons ionic compounds  atom may give up electrons

 a t o m may share electrons molecular compounds Ionic Compounds:  usually formed by metal with non-metal  metals lose electrons forming cations  non-metals gain electrons forming anions  combine in a ratio to make a neutral compound  overall charge of the compound must be zero

 IONIC BOND : force of attraction between the oppositely- charged ions

Ex 1: sodium and chlorine + - Lewis Dot Diagram Na + Cl [Na] [Cl]

Ex 2: potassium and nitrogen Lewis Dot Diagram K + N

K 3[K]+[N]3-

K

Molecular Compounds:

 formed by non-metal with non-metal

 share electrons to fill valence shell  The nuclei of two different atoms are attracting the same electrons.  combine in a ratio to make stable atoms

 COVALENT BOND : force of attraction between atoms that share 1, 2, 3 pairs of electrons

Ex 1: methane CH4 H H H C H C H H H H

Ex 2: chlorine gas Cl2

Ex 3: What about CO2?

Carbon does not follow the octet rule (8 electrons in outer shell) unless double bonds are formed.

Note: 7 elements exist naturally as diatomic molecules. This means they are always found as: O2 H2 N2 F2 Cl2 Br2 I2
