Recap: What Do We Know?
- When atoms form new compounds, the properties are emergent
(not the sum of the atoms). - Properties of materials depend upon the types of bonds, spatial
arrangement of atoms, and the interactions between molecules. - Atoms interact electrostatically – interactions range from IMFs to
bonding to ion-ion interactions. - The way atoms interact depends on the arrangement of electrons
(valence electrons). - When atoms interact, the system becomes more stable (and
releases energy to surroundings). - All attractive interactions require energy to overcome.
- Properties (such as mp and bp) allow us to make predictions about
types of interactions that are present.
properties of Metallic bonding
high melting point
-> break metallic bonds
conductors
-> delocalized electrons
properties of a covalent network
high melting point
-> break covalent bonds
mostly insulators
-> electrons localized in bonds
properties of discrete molecules
lower melting points
- only disrupt IMFs
insulators
-> electrons localized in bonds
properties of NaCl
- forms colorless crystals that are often cubic in shape
- hard and brittle
- high melting point
- conducts electricity when melted (but not as a solid)
– Can this be explained with any of our current models of bonding? NO
What type of compound is sodium chloride
ionic compound (Na+ alternating Cl-)
the continuum of bond types
(from lowest electronegativity differences to highest)
pure nonpolar covalent bonds (ie H-H)
polar covalent bonds (Ie Cl-H)
ion-ion interactions (no such thing as an ionic bond) (an electrostatic attraction) (ie cl- na+)
characteristics of simple ionic compunds
-contain a metal and a nonmetal (eg NaCl)
-> metal has low electronegativity and nonmetal has high electronegativity
- ionic compounds are neutral
- Metals form cations and nonmetals form anions
-> each ion typically achieves noble gas configuration
why do ionic compounds form?
- requires energy to form ions (either adding or removing electrons)
- ion-ion interactions release energy and stabilize system
- ionic compounds from when ion-ion interactions release more energy than is needed to form ions
cations
-positively charged
- simple cations form when metals lose electrons
- charge usually corresponds to loss of electrons back to “core”
- ions are less stable than neutral atom- loss of electrons always requires energy
- why do cations form then?
-> because more energy is released then ion-ion interactions are formed
Anions
-negatively charged
-simple anions formed when non-metals gain electrons
- charge usually corresponds to gain of electrons to the next filled (sub) shell (ie noble gas configuration)
- ions are less stable than neutral atoms- gaining electrons always requires energy
- why do anions form?
-> because more energy is released when ion-ion interactions are formed
which is bigger; Na atom or Na+ cation
Na atom because Na+ has same number of protons as Na but less electrons meaning a greater attractive force between nucleus and electrons and less electron-electron repulsion
which is bigger; Cl- anion or Cl atom
cl- anion because Cl- has more electron electron repulsion and a weaker attraction
molecular level adaptation of sodium chloride
-each Cl- is surrounded by 6 Na+ ions
- each Na+ is surrounded by 6 Cl- ions
how to expect a charge on an atom of a ceritan element
they want to get to the closest noble gas configuration
ion-ion interactions as electrostatic interactions
- force of attraction between ions:
F=k(q1q2 / r^2)
-> more charge -> stronger attraction
-> smaller ions (smaller r)-> stronger attraction - the stronger the force, the more energy is required to overcome it
Forming ion-ion interactions releases energy
- energy released when an ionic lattice forms from ions in the gas phase (this is called lattice energy)
- the amount of energy released depends on how strong the interaction between ions is
– the stronger the attraction, the greater the lattice energy
Lattice energy and melting points
those ionic compounds with the highest lattice energy also have the highest melting point because there is a shorter distance resulting in the strongest force to be overcome
complex ionic compounds contain what
a polyatomic ion
polyatomic ion
- a group of atoms covalently bonded to each other
- the entire particle has a charge
ex
NH4+
CN-
NO3-
CO3^2-
what is temperature
- a useful macroscopic way of thinking about temperature is that it tells you in which direction thermal energy (often called heat) will move
- energy always moves from a hotter object (higher temperature) to cooler (lower temperature) object
characteristics/conversions of temperature
-unites: celcius, Kalvin, Fahrenheit
-A change of 1 degree celsius = a change of 1 K
- 0 degrees celsius = 273.15 K
-0 K = absolute zero (lowest possible temp)
if you have one drop of boiling water vs a bucket of boiling water… do they have the same temperature?
yes, temperature depends on Average energy of particles
f you have one drop of boiling water vs a bucket of boiling water… do they have the same thermal energy?
no, thermal energy depends on total energy of particles, which depends on amount
