Resource summary

Bonding and Intermolecular forces.
  1. COValent bonding
    1. This is the sharing of electrons, to gain a full outer shell, between two non-metals.
      1. This does not necessarily have to form in gases, they can also be solids e.g. diamond.
        1. It is very strong so a lot of energy is required to break it, hence why diamond is the strongest object on Earth.
    2. Electronegativity
      1. This is the ability of an atom to pull electrons (e-) towards itself, in a covalent bond.
        1. Electronegativities increases as you go across a period and as you go up a group.
          1. However, noble gases are not electronegative as they already have a full outer shell.
        2. For example, in Hydrogen Fluoride, the e-'s are tending towards the Fluorine atom, in the covalent bond.
          1. This is because Fluorine is more electronegative than Hydrogen.
            1. The Fluorine is said to be slightly negative, and the Hydrogen, slightly positive.
        3. Ionic bonding
          1. This is the transfer of e-'s from a metal to a non-metal. to get a full outer shell.
            1. This bond is also very strong so ionic compounds have a higher melting point.
              1. They usually form a cubical structure, called a giant ionic lattice.
                1. The atom that loses e-'s become a positive ion and the one that gains becomes a negative ion.
                  1. Opposite ions attract, forming a lattice of ions.
          2. Metallic bonding
            1. The bonding that occurs between positive metal ions and delocalized electrons
              1. These are strong so metals have a high melting point and can conduct electricity due to the delocalized e-'s, which carry current.
                1. Metals are also malleable because the atoms can roll over each other without breaking the bond.
            2. Van Der Waals
              1. This force occurs between all molecules.
                1. It is caused by the movement of electrons in molecules. As e-'s in a molecule orbit continuously, sometimes, the e' density is higher on one side causing it to be negative.
                  1. If this happens on more than one of the same molecule, VdW forms by the attractions of opposite charges.
                    1. The bigger the molecule, the more e-'s it will have so the stronger the VdW.
              2. Dipole-dipole forces
                1. This force occurs between molecules when the molecule has atoms with a clear electronegative difference. This is due to electrostatic attractions
                  1. The greater the electronegative difference, the stronger the force.
                    1. For example, HCl.
                    2. Molecules with electronegative differences are said to be polar.
                  2. Hydrogen bonding
                    1. This is the strongest force and forms between molecules that have Hydrogen attached to a Fluorine, Oxygen or Nitrogen in it.
                      1. Water is denser than ice because the structure of the water molecules in ice leaves large gaps in between them.
                    2. Permanent dipoles
                      1. This also occurs in molecules that have atoms with different electronegativities.
                        1. If the molecule has more than two different atoms and their electronegativity differences are not symmetrical, the molecule has permanent dipole.
                          1. For example, water has 2 Hydrogens and one Oxygen. You need to draw the shape of it.
                            1. As Oxygen is more electronegative than Hydrogen, the shared pair of e-'s in both covalent bonds will tend towards the Oxygen.
                              1. As both electronegativities are arranged in approximately the same direction, they are not symmetrical.
                                1. So they a permanent dipole and are polar.
                        2. Coordinate Bonding
                          1. This is a covalent bond where one atom donates both electrons.
                            1. E.g. NH3 + H+ ---- NH4
