Electrons, bonding and structure
- Electron configuration
- Orbitals; contain two
electrons in orbit
around the nucleus
- 1st energy level; 1s
- 2nd energy level; 2s and 3 lots of 2p
- 3rd energy level; 3s, 3 lots
of 3p and 5 lots of 3d
- 4th energy level; 4s, 3 lots of
4p, 5 lots of 4d and 7 lots of 4f
- 4s will fill up before 3d
- orbitals will fill up s,p,d,f
- Rules of electron
configuration and
orbitals
- Aufbau's principle; electrons fill up
the lowest possible energy levels first
(they are attracted to the nucleus
- Hund's rule of multiplicity;
orbitls are occupied singularly
before they begin to pair up
(they repel each other due to
negative charges)
- Spin pairing; a pair of electrons will spin
in opposite directions when in an orbital
- orbital shapes
- S orbital
- a circle
- P orbital
- a figure of 8
- Bonding
- Metallic bonding; the electrostatic
attraction between positive metal
ions and delocalised electrons
- positive ions lined up
next to each other with
delocalised electrons
- metal and
a metal
- Covalent bonding; the
electrostatic attraction
between a shared pair of
electrons and the nuclei
of the bonded atoms
- non-metal and a
non-metal ion
- dot and cross diagram
- Covalent bonding
exceptions; BF3 and SF6
- Ionic bonding; the electrostatic
attraction between oppositely
charged ions
- non-metal and
a metal
- each atom in a box, charges
indicated, dot and cross
diagram in boxes
- Dative covalent bonding;
a covalent bond where
both electrons come
from the same atom
- dot and cross
in a box with
charge
- Molecule shape
- Two bonding
pairs
- separate
by 180`
- linear
- BeCl2
- 02
- Three
bonding pairs
- separate
by 120`
- BF3
- trigonal planar
- Four bonding pairs
- separate by
109.5`
- CH4
- tetrahedral
- Five bonding pairs
- separate by 90`
at the poles and
120` at the
equator
- PCl5
- trigonal
bipyramidal
- Six bonding pairs
- separate
by 90`
- octahedral
- SF6
- Lone pairs
- reduce the bond angle
by 2.5` (per lone pair)
- NH3
- trigonal
pyramid
- Water
- non-linear
- has two lone pair
of electrons
- Intermolecular forces
- London forces (i.d - i.d)
- occur in non-polar
molecules and
hydrocarbons
- instantaneous dipole; i.d molecule will force a neighbouring
molecule to form an induced dipole
- more electrons means a greater likelihood that the molecules
will become instantaneously dipole (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2)
- Permanent dipole - induced dipole (p.d - p.d)
- molecules with a
permanent dipole will be
attracted to each other
- occurs due to
polar bonding
- Permanent dipole - permanent dipole (p.d - p.d)
- occurs due to polar
bonding
- if a polar molecule has a
permanent dipole it can induce a
dipole in a neighbouring
molecule
- nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine,
bromine, chlorine, iodine and
sulphur cause a permanent dipole
- Hydrogen
Bonds
- the attraction between an
electron deficient hydrogen
and the lone pair of and
electronegative atom in
another molecule
- Anomalous
properties of water
- Relatively high melting and
boiling point; lots of energy is
required to break the relatively
strong hydrogen bonds.
- Ice floats; the molecules of ice
are held apart in an open
lattice by hydrogen bonds
- Dipole; the uneven distribution of
electrons in a covalent bond
- Electronegativity; the ability of
an atom to attract the electron
pair in a covalent bond to itself
- nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, bromine,
chlorine, iodine and sulphur
