Unit 11: Bonding

Guiding Questions:

  • What is that?
  • How do we figure out what the chemical formula is?
  • What does it mean to be "free of chemicals"?
  • Why are some thing liquids at room temperature and other things gases or solids?
  • How are shapes of molecules determined?
  • How do Splenda and other artificial sweeteners work?
  • How do bees tell the difference between a worker and the queen?

What you should learn:

  1. Chemical formulas can be predicted from the periodic table and allow chemists to classify and predict properties of compounds
  2. The general trend in the universe to strive for lower energy explains and allows for prediction of chemical properties of elements
  3. Elements combine in whole number ratios and these molar ratios can be used to determine chemical formulas
  4. The shape of a molecule can be used to predict the properties of that molecule.
  5. The shape of a molecule is determined by the electron arrangement of the atoms that make up the molecule

IB Objectives: SL      Option      HL

  • Covalent Bonding Model
    • Define covalent bonding as a bond in which electrons are shared
    • Use electronegitivity difference to distinguish between ionic, polar and non-polar bonds
    • Contrast the intermolecular forces exhibited by ionic, polar, and non-polar bonds (all are weaker than covalent bonds. For similar molar mass, h-bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole which are stronger than Van der Waals)
      • a. ion-dipole interactions,
      • b. dipole-dipole interactions,
      • c. Hydrogen bonds and
      • d. London dispersion forces
    • Use intermolecular forces to explain and predict IBH 4.5.1-2
      • a. state of matter at room temperature
      • b. viscosity
      • c. volatility
      • d. boiling point IBH 4.3.2
        • i. Compare H2O and H2S,
        • ii. NH3 and PH3,
        • iii. C3H8, CH3CHO, and C2H5O5
      • e. freezing point
      • f. vapor pressure
      • g. solubility and miscibility using the rule "Like dissolves like"
    • Draw Lewis structures for covalent compounds including resonance structures. Specifically O2, N2 CO2, C2H4, C2H2
    • State and explain the relationship between the number of bonds, bond length, and bond strength. The comparison should include bond length and bond strings of IBH 4.2.3
      • a. Two carbon atoms joined by single, double, and triple bonds
      • b. The carbon atom and the two oxygen atoms in the carboxyl group of carboxylic acid
    • State that bonds form when orbitals overlap
    • Briefly describe hybridization of orbitals in methane
    • Use the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) model to predict the geometric shape and bond angles of simple molecules and polyatomic ions
      • a. bent, linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, and trigonal pyramidal
    • Construct models of molecules and polyatomic ions to illustrate their predicted geometric shapes
    • Predict the polarity of molecules by using the VSEPR model for molecules containing polar covalent bonds
  • Ionic Bonding Model
    • Use physical and chemical properties to distinguish between ionic and covalent compounds
    • Describe energy changes as elements combine to form an ionic compound
    • Describe ionic bonding as the transfer of electrons and the formation of a crystal lattice due to electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge
    • Predict the formation of cations and anions based on placement on periodic table
    • State that transition metals can form more than one ion
    • Relate formation of anion or cation with ionization energy and electron affinity
    • State that bonding occurs to increase stability
    • Contrast metallic and ionic bonding
    • Describe the metallic bond formation and explain the physical properties of metals (delocalized electrons = high conductivity, malleability, ductility)
