Presentation Transcript


  1. 8.1 Molecules and Molecular Compounds • Molecules and Molecular Compounds • How are the melting points and boiling points of molecular compounds different from those of ionic compounds?

  2. 8.1 Molecules and Molecular Compounds • In nature, matter takes many forms. The noble gases, including helium and neon, are monatomic. That means they exist as single atoms.

  3. 8.1 Molecules and Molecular Compounds • Some compounds are so different from ionic compounds that attractions between ions fail to explain their bonding. • The atoms held together by sharing electrons are joined by a covalent bond.

  4. 8.1 Molecules and Molecular Compounds • A molecule is a neutral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds. Air contains oxygen molecules. • A diatomic molecule is a molecule consisting of two atoms. An oxygen molecule is a diatomic molecule.

  5. 8.1 Molecules and Molecular Compounds • A compound composed of molecules is called a molecular compound. Water and carbon monoxide are molecular compounds.

  6. 8.1 Molecules and Molecular Changes • Molecular compounds tend to have relatively lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds.

  7. 8.1 Molecules and Molecular Compounds

  8. 8.1 Molecules and Molecular Changes • Ethane, a component of natural gas, is also a molecular compound.

  9. 8.1 Molecular Formulas • Molecular Formulas • What information does a molecular formula provide?

  10. 8.1 Molecular Formulas • A molecular formula is the chemical formula of a molecular compound. • A molecular formula shows how many atoms of each element a molecule contains.

  11. 8.1 Molecular Formulas

  12. 8.1 Molecular Formulas • Formulas of Some Molecular Compounds

  13. 8.1 Section Quiz. • 1. Compared to ionic compounds, molecular compounds tend to have relatively • low melting points and high boiling points. • low melting points and low boiling points. • high melting points and high boiling points. • high melting points and low boiling points.

  14. 8.1 Section Quiz • 2. A molecular compound usually consists of • two metal atoms and a nonmetal atom. • two nonmetal atoms and a metal atom. • two or more metal atoms. • two or more nonmetal atoms.

  15. 8.1 Section Quiz • 3. A molecular formula shows • how many atoms of each element a molecule contains. • a molecule's structure. • which atoms are bonded together. • how atoms are arranged in space.
