Chemical BondingIonic and Metallic Chemistry
Elements • Some elements never exist by themselves • These are called diatomic molecules • There are seven of them and they make a seven on the periodic table
The Diatomic Molecules • These would still be said by their elemental name but would be written with a subscript of 2 • H2 • N2 • F2 • O2 • I2 • Cl2 • Br2 • BrINClHOF
Compounds • Most elements are not found separately but combined in a compound with something else • Chemical bonds are strong attractions between atoms or ions in a compound • The reason for this is the octet rule We want 8…eight is great!
Octet Rule • Noble gases are what all elements aspire to be like electronically • These elements have 8 electrons in highest energy level
Na Cl Ionic Bond DEFINITION: • Chemical bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between a cation and an anion. • Atoms will either give up or take electrons in order to have eight in their highest energy level
Na Cl Hey, can you help me out and gimme an electron?
Na Cl Why certainly, I have one I don’t want anyway.
Na Cl Give up/take away electrons
Charges • Sodium now has a +1 charge since it has lost an electron • Chlorine now has a -1 charge since it gained an electron - + Na Cl
Ionic Compound • The combination of Na+ and Cl- form the compound NaCl • An ionic compound will always consist of: • A metal ion (called a CATION, the + one) • A non-metal ion (called an ANION, the - one) • CATION ALWAYS COMES BEFORE THE ANION; both in the name and the formula
CATION vs ANION • Positively charged ions • Lose electrons • Smaller than the parent atom • Usually metals (left side of the table) • Negatively charged ions • Gain electrons • Larger than the parent atom • Usually nonmetals (right side of table)
Properties of Ionic Bonds • High melting point • Conducts electricity • Soluble in water
Lewis Dot Diagrams • Diagram that shows the valence electrons • Shows ions or compounds or atoms
Metallic Bonds • DEFINITION: Attraction of free floating valence electrons for the positively charged metal cations. “Sea of electrons”
Properties of Metallic Bonds • Malleable/Ductile • Conduct electricity and heat • Solid at room temp and shiny luster
