AYL Question Set 4
Lesson 5:
How are ionic and covalent bonding similar? How are they different? You should discuss how they bond and what the major differences are in their nomenclature (the way they are named). Covalent and ionic are two forms of atomic bonds both of which differ in their structure and properties. Firstly, it should be made clear that an atom’s desire is to achieve stability. Most atoms by nature are not balanced electrically. They achieve balance by sharing or transferring their outermost energy level which contains electrons called valence electrons. The number of valence electrons in an atom mostly determines that atom’s or element’s properties. Now the octet rule says that an atom likes to achieve stability by ensuring they have eight valence electrons in their outermost level. Atoms lose or gain valence electrons to achieve the full outer level and they do this by bonding with other atoms. Atoms can bond with each other as in the case of O2 or with different atoms as in the case of H2O. (Timberlake) Only Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He) like to only have two valence electrons. Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals. Non-metals have low electronegativity (Helmenstine) which means

Transition metals can form more than one cation so in cases where they are the first element and need to balance the negatively charged anion, you write the name followed by a Roman numeral in parentheses corresponding to the anion they are combined with and which creates for zero charge balance. An example of this would be Copper (II) Sulfide sulfur has sulfur has a 2 – charge. Once you’ve named the cation now it’s time to name the anion. If the anion is not a polyatomic ion as in the case of sodium chloride NaCl, write the name of the cation changing the ending to IDE just as you do with covalent
However, the atoms are arranged a little differently. Two molecules that have this type of relationship are called isomers.
Hydrogen sulphide has a boiling point of -82 degrees Celsius and a melting point of -60 degrees Celsius. There are 2 hydrogen and 1 sulphide molecule. Simple molecule’s which are covalent have lower melting and boiling points as they do not need too much energy to separate the bonds because they are as polarised as water. In hydrogen sulphide the intermolecular forces are known as Dipole-Dipole forces which are less powerful than hydrogen bonding which is in water therefore water has the strongest bond compared to hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulphide. Water is more electronegative than hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulphide because there are more molecules in water which are drawn together however in hydrogen sulphide there are less molecules
An atom, by definition, is the smallest part of any substance. The atom has three main components that make it up: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are within the nucleus in the center of the atom. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in many orbitals. These orbitals consist of many different shapes, including circular, spiral, and many others. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. Protons and electrons both have charge of equal magnitude (i.e. 1.602x10-19 coulombs). Neutrons have a neutral charge, and they, along with protons, are the majority of mass in an atom. Electron mass, though, is negligible. When an atom has a neutral charge, it is stable.
The bond energy is a measure of the amount of energy needed to break apart one mole of covalently bonded gases. The SI units used to describe bond energy are kilojoules per mole of bonds (kJ/mol).
Covalent compounds are formed when two or more non-metals react together. The covalent compound is actually made of molecules, and the name given depends on the structure of these molecules. Prefixes, like di- for two, tri- for three, tetra- for four, and so forth, are frequently used. Thus, NO2 is nitrogen dioxide and N2O4 is dinitrogen
Ionic liquids (ILs) are liquids composed entirely of ions. Molten salt is the term normally reserved for those systems that are liquid at high temperatures, for example NaCl (table salt is a liquid at ≈ 800 0C). Room-temperature ILs are liquid below 100˚C, have received considerable attention as substitutes for volatile organic solvents. Due to their remarkable properties, such as negligible vapour pressure, large liquidous range, high thermal stability, good ionic conductivity, high electrochemical stability, they are considered favourable medium candidates for chemical syntheses. ILs are usually categorized into four types based on their cation segment: 1) alkylammonium-, 2) dialkylimidazolium-, 3) phosphonium- and 4) N-alkylpyridiniumbased ILs (Figure 1). Ionic liquids are generally composed of a bulky organic cation, such 1-butyl-3 methylimidazolium and typically an inorganic anion such as a halide. Below are the chemical structures of some common cations and anions used to make ILs.
Ions are atoms with an extra electron or a missing electron. But a normal atom would be neutral because it has the same number of electrons as the atomic number. If you are an atom and you are missing one electron, it does not mean that you are another atom, but you are not a complete atom either. You are something new, an ion. The goal of an atom is to be happy. If you have filled shells you are called stable. When you give up the extra electron you are attractive and other atoms want to bond with you. The two main types of bonding are covaent and electrovalent. Ionic bonds are really groups of charged ions held together by electric forces.
Every chemical element or compound have specific properties that make them different than the other. However, these properties help us to understand every element or compound in which they can be used and how we can deal with them. These properties can be chemical properties which are defined as "that property must lead to a change in the substances ' chemical structure", such as heat of combustion and flammability ("Physical and Chemical…"). Also, these properties can be physical properties which are defined as the properties "that can be measured or observed without changing the chemical nature of the substance", such as mass, volume, boiling and freezing points ("Physical and Chemical…"). These two properties are related to each other. For
Since most nonmetals exhibit more than one oxidation state, they can form oxoanions that differ in the number of oxygens bonded to the metal.
Ionic and Covalent Bonding Ionic and covalent bonding is involved when the atoms of an element chemically combine to make their outer shells full and to make the atoms stable. The first type of bonding you can get is ionic bonding. Electrons are transferred from one atom to another to try and create full outer shells, this gain and loss of electrons on the atoms results in positive and negative ions. In these compounds you get electrostatic force, this is the force/attraction that occurs between the positive and negative ions that hold the compound together. This type of bonding takes place between metals and non-metals.
It describes how well an atom can attract electrons from another atom while bonding. In a covalent bond, the shared electrons will stay closer to the more electronegative of the atoms involved. The result is polarization, when a molecule has a positive and negative end. This is the main cause of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Water is a notable example of a covalent bond while sodium chloride, or table salt, is a notable example of an ionic bond. These bonds form many of the substances we see around us. These bonds and compounds are even happening inside the human
One bond is between Carbon and Nitrogen, while the other bond is between Carbon and Sulfur. The bond between Carbon and Nitrogen is more stable than the bond between Carbon and Sulfur. This is the case because there is more attraction between Carbon and Nitrogen along with more shared pairs of electrons. There is a higher attraction between Carbon and Nitrogen than Carbon and Sulfur because of the difference in electronegativity. C and N have an electronegativity difference of .5 while C and S have an electronegativity difference of 0. The higher electronegativity difference leads to more attraction which causes a decrease in potential energy and an increase in stability. C and N also share three pairs of electrons compared to the one pair that C and S share which leads to even more stability on the part of C and N compared to C and
While all atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, it is possible for atoms of one element to have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes . For example, all atoms of the element carbon have 6 protons, but while most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, some have 7 or 8. Isotopes are named by giving the name of the element followed by the sum of the neutrons and protons in the isotope's nucl...
This law states that, “when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their chemical and physical properties” (textbook). From that, the modern periodic table was born; “each new horizontal row of the table corresponds to the beginning of a new period because a new principal energy level is being filled with electrons” (textbook).
From these properties of bonds we will see that there are two fundamental types of bonds--covalent and ionic. Covalent bonding represents a situation of about equal sharing of the electrons between nuclei in the bond. Covalent bonds are formed between atoms of approximately equal electronegativity. Because each atom has near equal pull for the electrons in the bond, the electrons are not completely transferred from one atom to another. When the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms in a bond is large, the more electronegative atom can strip an electron off of the less electronegative one to form a negatively charged anion and a positively charged cation. The two ions are held together in an ionic bond because the oppositely charged ions attract each other as described by Coulomb's Law.
