Chemical Bonding  Definitions to Know: O Molecule: Unit of Matter That Results When 2 Or More Atoms Are Joined by Covalent Bonds Fall 2016_CH1010_Dr. Kreider-Mueller CH1010 Exam #2 Study Guide For reference see “Chemistry: An Atoms-focused Approach” by Gilbert, Kirss, and Foster Chapter 3: Atomic Structure, Explaining the Properties of Elements Trends to know (and be able to explain the trend…think about Zeff): o Effective Nuclear Charge (Zeff): the attraction toward the nucleus experienced by an electron in an atom; the positive charge on the nucleus reduced by the extent to which other electron in the atom shield the electron from the nucleus o Ionic radius (Figure 3.35 in textbook) . When you form a cation, the radius shrinks (ex: the ionic radius of Na+ is smaller than the atomic radius of Na). Why? . When you form an anion, the radius expands (ex: the ionic radius of Cl− is larger than the atomic radius of Cl). Why? o Ionization Energy . M + Energy M+ + e− M+ + Energy M2+ + e− M2+ + Energy M3+ + e− …and so forth . Look at Figure Table 3.2 in your book (Think about when/why there are large jumps between successive ionization energies) . Be able to make predictions about ionization energies for various elements o Electron Affinity . Which group in the periodic table has the highest (most negative) electron affinity? Which group(s) in the periodic table have the lowest (values close to zero) electron affinity . Look at Figure 3.37 in your book . Be able to make predictions about electron affinities for various elements . Group 1A elements have low electron affinities so they tend to lose their ns1 electron . Group 2A elements have low electron affinities so they tend to lose their ns2 electrons . Group 7A elements have large electron affinities so they tend to gain one electron, adopting the electron configuration of the neighboring noble gas Group 8A elements are inert, and don’t generally gain or lose electrons Chapter 4: Chemical Bonding Definitions to know: o Molecule: unit of matter that results when 2 or more atoms are joined by covalent bonds. o Ionic Bond: a bond resulting from the electrostatic attraction of a cation for an anion. o Nonpolar Covalent Bond: a bond characterized by an even distribution of charge; electrons in the bonds are shared equally by the two atoms. o Polar Covalent Bond: a bond resulting from unequal sharing of bonding pairs of electrons between two atoms. o Polyatomic ions: charged group of more than one kind of atom joined together by covalent bonds. 1 of 11 Fall 2016_CH1010_Dr. Kreider-Mueller o Electrostatic Potential: the energy a charged particle has due to its position relative to another charged particle. Directly proportional to the product of the charges of the particles . Inversely proportional to the distance between the particles o Lattice Energy: the energy released when 1 mole of an ionic compound forms from its free ions in the gas phase. o Bond Energy: the energy needed to break 1 mole of a particular covalent bond in a molecule or polyatomic ion in the gas phase. o Octet Rule: atoms of main group elements make bonds by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons to achieve a valence shell containing 8 electrons, or four electron pairs. o Bond Length: distance between the nuclear centers of two atoms joined together in a bond. o Bonding Pair: a pair of electrons shared between two atoms. o Lone Pair: a pair of electrons that is not shared between two atoms. o Electronegativity: a relative measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself when bonded to another atom. o Resonance: characteristic of electron distributions when two or more equivalent Lewis structures can be drawn for one compound. o Resonance Structure: one of two or more Lewis structures with the same arrangement of atoms but different arrangements of bonding pairs of electrons o Resonance Stabilization: the stability of a molecular structure due to delocalization of its electrons. o Formal Charge: value calculated for an atom in a molecule or polyatomic ion by determining the difference between the # of valence electrons in the free atom & the sum of lone-pair electrons plus half of the electrons in the atom’s bonding pairs. o Bond Order: the number of bonds between atoms: 1 for a single bond, 2 for a double bond, 3 for a triple bond. Be able to Distinguish between the three different types of bonds * Energy is released when bonds are formed, exothermic process* * Energy is absorbed when bonds are broken, endothermic process* 1) Nonpolar Covalent Bond: two atoms evenly share 2 electrons o Length and Strength of covalent bonds: . Double bond is shorter and stronger than a single bond . Triple bond is shorter and stronger than a double bond . The internuclear distance that corresponds to a potential energy minimum (point “c” on the graph below) is the bond length between two atoms. 2 of 11 Fall 2016_CH1010_Dr. Kreider-Mueller 2) Polar Covalent Bond: two atoms share 2 electrons unevenly (unequal sharing). The electrons are more attracted to the more electronegative atom. 3) Ionic Bond: complete transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another occurs resulting in the formation of 2 charged particles (ions) o Ions of opposite charge attract one another . Metals tend to form cations . We use a Roman numeral in parentheses to indicate # of charges on a cation 2+ Ex: in Fe(II)Cl2 the iron has a 2+ charge, Fe 3+ Ex: in Fe(III)Cl3 the iron has a 3+ charge, Fe . Nonmetals tend to form anions . Common polyatomic ions you should know: + − − NH4 , ammonium NO3 , nitrate ClO4 , perchlorate − − 3− CH3CO2 , acetate OH , hydroxide PO4 , phosphate − − 2− CN , cyanide MnO4 , permanganate SO3 , sulfite − 2− 2− NO2 , nitrite CO3 , carbonate SO4 , sulfate Be able to distinguish between ionic & molecular compounds in molecular level representations Ionic Covalent Be able to account for the differences in physical properties of ionic & covalent compounds. For ex, see table 4.1 from General Chemistry: Atom’s First by McMurry & Fay Trends to know (and be able to explain…think about Zeff): o Lattice Energy . Depends on the charge of the ions and the size (radius) of the ions. The smaller the radius, the higher the lattice energy The larger the charge on the ions, the higher the lattice energy . The higher the lattice energy, the higher the melting point of the ionic solid 3 of 11 Fall 2016_CH1010_Dr. Kreider-Mueller . Be able to predict the magnitudes of lattice energy based on analogous compounds, ionic charge, & ionic radius For example, see the table below: o Electronegativity . Look at Figures 4.8 & 4.9 in your textbook . Be able to predict the ionic/covalent character of bonds based on electronegativity differences Bonds between atoms w/ similar electronegativities are usually nonpolar covalent Bonds between atoms whose electronegativities differ by more than 2 units are largely ionic Bonds between atoms whose electronegativities differ by more than 0.4 units but less than 2 units are usually polar covalent . Fluorine is the most electronegative (value of 4.0) atom . Oxygen is the second most electronegative (value of 3.5) atom Bonding in molecules can be represented by using only valence electrons in electron dot (Lewis) diagrams. Be able to draw electron dot structures: o Section 4.3 of your book gives some steps for drawing electron dot structures o Figure out how many valence electrons you need to account for in your structure o Connect the atoms appropriately o Remember the following: . Hydrogen does not follow the octet rule (only surrounded by 2 electrons) . C, O, N, and F follow the octet rule (boron often does not) . If an element is in period 3 or below, then you can expand the octet if necessary . Carbon likes to form 4 bonds . Nitrogen typically likes to form 3 bonds . Oxygen typically likes to form 2 bonds . Halogens typically like to form 1 bond o Consider if you need any multiple bonds 4 of 11 Fall 2016_CH1010_Dr. Kreider-Mueller o If there is more than one possible structure, you need to be able to determine which structure is best based on the octet rule and formal charges Formal Charge = (# of valence e−) – ½ (# of bonding e−) – (# of nonbonding e−) . The more formal charges there are on the atoms in your structure, the less the structure contributes to the overall structure of the molecule (more formal charge = worse structure) o Consider if you can draw resonance structures for your compound (ex. Ozone, O3) . If you can draw different resonance structures, then the electrons are delocalized within the compound . Delocalization reduces electrons’ potential energy making the molecule more stable . Be able to calculate bond orders for resonance hybrids Chapter 5: Bonding Theories, Explaining Molecular Geometry *Bonding can be described using different models…each is useful & each has drawbacks. * Definitions to know: o Bond Angle: the angle (in degrees) defined by lines joining the centers of two atoms to a third atom to which they are chemically bonded. o Electronic Geometry: the 3D arrangement of bonding pairs & lone pairs of electrons about a central atom. o Molecular Geometry: the 3D arrangement of the atoms in a molecule. o Bond Dipole: separation of electrical charge created when atoms with different electronegativities form a covalent bond. o Hybridization: in valence bond theory, the mixing of atomic orbitals to generate new sets of orbitals that then are available to form covalent bonds with other atoms. o Hybrid Atomic Orbital: in valence bond theory, one of a set of equivalent orbitals about an atom created when specific atomic orbitals are mixed. o Molecular Orbital: a region of characteristic shape and energy where electrons in a molecule are located.

    Periodic Table and Bonding 1. Handout: Periodic Table and Bonding Notes 2. Periodic Properties and the Development of the Periodic Table 1. The first periodic table was arranged by Dimitri Mendeleev in 1869. 1. He was a professor of Chemistry. at the University of St. Petersburg in Russia and was confronted with the problem of how to teach about the various elements known at that time. He decided to organized the elements by arranging them into groups that reacted similarly. 2. He also noticed that various properties would repeat "periodically" so he arranged a table of elements order of atomic mass such that properties would change regularly if you moved across a row while maintaining groups with similar chemical properties in a column. 3. Go to: http://www.periodic.lanl.gov/mendeleev.htm to see a version of Mendeleev's first table. 2. Groups with similar properties 1. All the elements in a group (or column) are called families. 2.

  • 1 5. Chemical Bonding
    5. Chemical Bonding: The Covalent Bond Model 5.1 The Covalent Bond Model Almost all chemical substances are found as aggregates of atoms in the form of molecules and ions produced through the reactions of various atoms of elements except the noble-gas elements which are stable mono-atomic gases. Chemical bond is a term that describes the attractive force that is holding the atoms of the same or different kind of atoms in forming a molecule or ionic solid that has more stability than the individual atoms. Depending on the kinds of atoms participating in the interaction there seem to be three types of bonding: Gaining or Losing Electrons: Ionic bonding: Formed between many ions formed by metal and nonmetallic elements. Sharing Electrons: Covalent bonding: sharing of electrons between two atoms of non-metals. Metallic Bonding: sharing of electrons between many atoms of metals.

  • Chemical Forces Understanding the Relative Melting/Boiling Points of Two
    Chapter 8 – Chemical Forces Understanding the relative melting/boiling points of two substances requires an understanding of the forces acting between molecules of those substances. These intermolecular forces are important for many additional reasons. For example, solubility and vapor pressure are governed by intermolecular forces. The same factors that give rise to intermolecular forces (e.g. bond polarity) can also have a profound impact on chemical reactivity. Chemical Forces Internuclear Distances and Atomic Radii There are four general methods of discussing interatomic distances: van der Waal’s, ionic, covalent, and metallic radii. We will discuss the first three in this section. Each has a unique perspective of the nature of the interaction between interacting atoms/ions. Van der Waal's Radii - half the distance between two nuclei of the same element in the solid state not chemically bonded together (e.g. solid noble gases). In general, the distance of separation between adjacent atoms (not bound together) in the solid state should be the sum of their van der Waal’s radii. F F van der Waal's radii F F Ionic Radii – Ionic radii were discussed in Chapter 4 and you should go back and review that now. One further thing is worth mentioning here. Evidence that bonding really exists and is attractive can be seen in ionic radii. For all simple ionic compounds, the ions attain noble gas configurations (e.g. in NaCl the Na+ ion is isoelectronic to neon and the Cl- ion is isoelectronic to argon). For the sodium chloride example just given, van der Waal’s radii would predict (Table 8.1, p.

When water boils the product is steam (gaseous water). The products are not hydrogen and oxygen.

  • Organometrallic Chemistry
    CHE 425: ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY SOURCE: OPEN ACCESS FROM INTERNET; Striver and Atkins Inorganic Chemistry Lecturer: Prof. O. G. Adeyemi ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY Definitions: Organometallic compounds are compounds that possess one or more metal-carbon bond. The bond must be “ionic or covalent, localized or delocalized between one or more carbon atoms of an organic group or molecule and a transition, lanthanide, actinide, or main group metal atom.” Organometallic chemistry is often described as a bridge between organic and inorganic chemistry. Organometallic compounds are very important in the chemical industry, as a number of them are used as industrial catalysts and as a route to synthesizing drugs that would not have been possible using purely organic synthetic routes. Coordinative unsaturation is a term used to describe a complex that has one or more open coordination sites where another ligand can be accommodated. Coordinative unsaturation is a very important concept in organotrasition metal chemistry. Hapticity of a ligand is the number of atoms that are directly bonded to the metal centre. Hapticity is denoted with a Greek letter η (eta) and the number of bonds a ligand has with a metal centre is indicated as a superscript, thus η1, η2, η3, ηn for hapticity 1, 2, 3, and n respectively. Bridging ligands are normally preceded by μ, with a subscript to indicate the number of metal centres it bridges, e.g. μ2–CO for a CO that bridges two metal centres. Ambidentate ligands are polydentate ligands that can coordinate to the metal centre through one or more atoms. – – – For example CN can coordinate via C or N; SCN via S or N; NO2 via N or N.

  • Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc
    Metal-Metal (MM) Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc Richard H. Duncan Lyngdoh*,a, Henry F. Schaefer III*,b and R. Bruce King*,b a Department of Chemistry, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong 793022, India B Centre for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens GA 30602 ABSTRACT: This survey of metal-metal (MM) bond distances in binuclear complexes of the first row 3d-block elements reviews experimental and computational research on a wide range of such systems. The metals surveyed are titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc, representing the only comprehensive presentation of such results to date. Factors impacting MM bond lengths that are discussed here include (a) n+ the formal MM bond order, (b) size of the metal ion present in the bimetallic core (M2) , (c) the metal oxidation state, (d) effects of ligand basicity, coordination mode and number, and (e) steric effects of bulky ligands. Correlations between experimental and computational findings are examined wherever possible, often yielding good agreement for MM bond lengths. The formal bond order provides a key basis for assessing experimental and computationally derived MM bond lengths. The effects of change in the metal upon MM bond length ranges in binuclear complexes suggest trends for single, double, triple, and quadruple MM bonds which are related to the available information on metal atomic radii. It emerges that while specific factors for a limited range of complexes are found to have their expected impact in many cases, the assessment of the net effect of these factors is challenging.

  • Learn Chemistry in an Hour
    Fascinating Education Script Learn Chemistry in an Hour Lesson: Learn Chemistry in an Hour Slide 1: Introduction Slide Slide 2: Why Chemistry first? To my way of thinking, chemistry should be taught before biology, physics, and even earth science. Biology is in large part chemistry of the cell. The forces of physics stem from the forces between protons, neutrons, and electrons. Earth science makes a lot more sense once students understand how elements combined to form the earth’s crust, and how the chemical properties of each geologic structure govern the forces within the earth’s crust. In the next hour or so we will cover the fundamental key to chemistry, which is this: there are about 100 different types of atoms in the world. Atoms bond to other atoms to make molecules, but they only use four different ways to bond to each other. Each of the four bonds produces a characteristic property in the molecule. So, by understanding the four bonds, you understand why water at room temperature is liquid, why oil and water don’t mix, why metals are shiny, and so on. The rest of chemistry that we’ll touch on is how to measure the number, mass, volume, pressure, and temperature of molecules, what happens when you change one of these variables, and how molecules swap atoms in chemical reactions. If you’re a parent, this lesson will enable you to follow -- and even guide -- your child’s progress through chemistry. If you’re a student, the next hour will give you a heads up and a head start.

  • Introduction to Alkenes and Alkynes in an Alkane, All Covalent Bonds
    Introduction to Alkenes and Alkynes In an alkane, all covalent bonds between carbon were σ (σ bonds are defined as bonds where the electron density is symmetric about the internuclear axis) In an alkene, however, only three σ bonds are formed from the alkene carbon -the carbon thus adopts an sp2 hybridization Ethene (common name ethylene) has a molecular formula of CH2CH2 Each carbon is sp2 hybridized with a σ bond to two hydrogens and the other carbon Hybridized orbital allows stronger bonds due to more overlap H H C C H H Structure of Ethylene In addition to the σ framework of ethylene, each carbon has an atomic p orbital not used in hybridization The two p orbitals (each with one electron) overlap to form a π bond (p bonds are not symmetric about the internuclear axis) π bonds are not as strong as σ bonds (in ethylene, the σ bond is ~90 Kcal/mol and the π bond is ~66 Kcal/mol) Thus while σ bonds are stable and very few reactions occur with C-C bonds, π bonds are much more reactive and many reactions occur with C=C π bonds Nomenclature of Alkenes August Wilhelm Hofmann’s attempt for systematic hydrocarbon nomenclature (1866) Attempted to use a systematic name by naming all possible structures with 4 carbons Quartane a alkane C4H10 Quartyl C4H9 Quartene e alkene C4H8 Quartenyl C4H7 Quartine i alkine → alkyne C4H6 Quartinyl C4H5 Quartone o C4H4 Quartonyl C4H3 Quartune u C4H2 Quartunyl C4H1 Wanted to use Quart from the Latin for 4 – this method was not embraced and BUT has remained Used English order of vowels, however, to name the groups
