REMEMBER:   You do NOT round numbers obtained from the periodic table before using them.
                             Use molar masses with the greatest accuracy whenever possible.

                             Always round answers appropriately. 
                             However, un-rounded intermediate results should always be used to continue calcs.

3.2 Chemical Bonds

Course Lectures
What's the Difference between an
Atom and a Molecule?
Ionic vs. Covalent Bonding


Objectives

1 Describe the ionic bond and its key features
2. Describe the covalent bond and its key features



Homework Problems

11.1  Ionic bonds always involve a metal and a non-metal attracting each other.
         Covalent bonds non-metal ... non-metal combinations.
         Identify each of the following atomic combinations as "Ionic" ,  "Covalent " or "Both"
             a. CO         b. NaCl       c. PCl4          d. CH3OH       e. MgCO3     
             f. CuCl2         g. SF        h. PO43-        i.  IO3-              j. Cr(IO3)2

11.2  Where are electrons located when a covalent bond forms?

11.3  Ionic bonds require two charged atoms known as ions.
         How do these two atoms acquire their charge?

11.4  When two oppositely charge ions are released they attract each-other (a.k.a. opposite
          charges attract).  What happens to their energy during this process of crashing towards
          each other? (Think about what the energy of a stretched rubber band does when you
          release it)

11.5   A covalent bond connects two atoms that have the same charge.  These atoms "should"
           repell each-other as "like charges repel).  How does the covalent bond keep the atoms
           from separating?

11.6    Covalently bonded substances form molecules.  For example, the methane molecule CH4
           (commonly known as natural gas) looks like this.  How many covalent bonds does
           a methane molecule have?

11.7    When large numbers of positively and negatively charged ions collapse on themselves...
            a result of their mutual attractions...they form what is called an ionic lattice.
            Draw a picture of a simple ionic lattice.

11.8     Both ionic and Covalent bonds are strong.  What does this mean?

11.9     When you break an ionic bond, what forces are you attempting to overcome?
            When you break a covalent bond, what forces are you attempting to overcome?



Click and Drag below for answers

11.1    a. Covalent         b. Ionic                c. Covalent    d.  Covalent       e.  BOTH  
           f.   Ionic              g. Covalent          h. Covalent     i.Covalent        j.  BOTH
11.2    Between the two bonded atoms
11.3    The metal atom gives an electron to the non-metal atom.  This produces a
            positively charged metal atom (Cation) and a negatively chargednon-metal atom (Anion)
11.4     As the ions crash towards eachother their potential energy decreases...the energy released
            as heat.
11.5     The "shared" electrons exist between the two atoms.  Although both atoms have no attraction
            for each other, they DO have attraction for the electrons between.  This is a little like
            a peanut butter sandwich where the PB holds the two bread pieces together.
11.6     4 Covalent bonds.  Each attaches one hydrogen atom to the center carbon atom
            to form the methane molecule.
11.7     Click here for an example....
11.8     Breaking an ionic bond involves pulling two oppositely charged ions apart.  Your are
            overcoming what's known as "electrostatic attraction."
            Breaking a covalent bond involves pulling a positive atom away from the electrons in the
            covalent bond which are negatively charged. You are again overcoming the
            electrostatic attraction each atom has for the bonding electrons.
