CHEMESTRY BONDING & STRUCTURE WHAT HAVE WE STUDIED TILL NOW?? • STATES OF MATTER • KINETIC PARTICLE THEORY • ATOMS, ELEMENTS & COMPOUNDS BONDING All materials are made up of atoms. These atoms are held together by forces called interatomic bonds. The bonds act like springs, linking each atom to its neighbor. IONIC BONDING • Ionic bonds occur between metals and non metals. • Electrons are transferred from metal to non metal atoms • By doing this both the atoms become more stable by having a complete outer shell. DOT & CROSS DIAGRAM REDOX REACTION Oxidation • Oxidation is defined as a process in which an electron is removed from a molecule during a chemical reaction. Reduction • Reduction is defined as a process in which an atom or a group of atoms gain number of electrons associated with them. • Redox reaction is defined as a process in which simultaneous oxidation and reduction takes place. IONIC STRUCTURE Ionic solids are held together by the electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions. For example, the sodium ions attract chloride ions and the chloride ion attracts sodium ions. The result is a three-dimensional structure of alternate Na+ and Cl– ions. IONIC STRUCTURES • Ionic structures are solids at room temperature and have high melting and boiling point. • They are usually hard substances. • They mainly dissolve in water. • They usually conduct electricity when in the molten state or in aqueous solution. • They usually cannot conduct electricity when in solid state. IONIC STRUCTURE LATTICE AQUEOUS SOLUTION • The ions in a solid ionic compound are not randomly arranged. Instead, they have a regular, repeating arrangement called an ionic lattice . The lattice is formed because the ions attract each other and form a regular pattern with oppositely charged ions next to each other. • An aqueous solution is one in which the solvent is liquid water. That is, solute (dissolved) ions and molecules are surrounded by water molecules and incorporated into the network of bonds within the water. LATTICE This shows only a small part of a tiny crystal of sodium chloride ions. Many millions of sodium ions and chloride ions would be arranged in this way in a crystal of sodium chloride to make up the giant ionic lattice structure. Each sodium ion is surrounded by six chlorine ions and each chlorine ion is surrounded by six sodium ions. AQUEOUS SOLUTION MORE ABOUT IONIC STRUCTURES Why do they have a high melting and boiling point???? Why do they dissolve in water to form a aqueous solution???? =This is due to the high electrostatic attraction between the ions holding the crystal lattice together. A lot of energy is therefore needed to separate the substance and melt it. =this is because water molecules are able to bond with both positive and negative charge ions, which breaks up the lattice and keeps the ions apart. Why can ionic structures usually conduct electricity in molten or aqueous state???? = The forces of attraction are weakened when dissolved or melted . Hence they are free to move to the appropriated electrode. This allows current to pass through the molten structure. = hence solid structure are not able to conduct electricity as they are not free to move. =(electrode), electric conductor, usually metal, used as either of the two terminals of an electrically conducting medium; it conducts current into and out of the medium FORMULAE OF IONIC SUBSTANCES • Redox reaction = in oxidation-reduction reactions electrons move between atoms. This is atom A and B and a electron is moving out of atom A into atom B so this is a redox reaction. FORMULAE OF IONIC SUBSTANCES • Reduction = gain of electron • Oxidation = loss of electron it seems opposite as electrons have a negative charge Here atom A is being oxcidiced (losing an electron)and atom B is being reduced (gaining a electron).

During the bond formation , the atoms gain the stability of the noble (inert) gas electronic configuration . COVALENT STRUCTURE Compounds containing covalent bonds have molecules whose structure can be classified as simple molecular or gaint covalent. SIMPLE MOLECULAR Simple molecular structure are simple, formed from only a few atoms. They have strong covalent bonds between the atoms within a molecule (intramolecular bonds) but have weak bonds between the molecules (intermolecular forces). Giant covalent Giant covalent structure contains many hundreds of thousands of atoms joined by strong covalent bonds. Example of substances with this type of structure are diamond, graphite and silicon oxide. PROPERTIES OF COVALENT COMPOUND • As simple molecular compound, they are usually gases, liquids or solids with low melting & boiling points. • Generally they do not dissolve in water. However water is an excellent solvent and can interact with and dissolve some covalent molecules better than others. Covalent structures are generally soluble in organic solvents. • Generally they do not conduct electricity when molted or dissolved in water as they do not contain ions. Though some molecules react with water to form ions. Ex- hydrogen chloride gas produces aqueous hydrogen ions and chloride ions when it dissolves in water. DIFFERENT FORMS OF CARBON Carbon is a non metallic element which exists in more than one solid structural form. These are graphite and diamond. They exhibit different physical properties. The different physical properties that they exhibit lead to graphite and diamond being used in different ways. GRAPHITE Graphite has a layer structure. Whithin each layer every carbon atom is bonded to three others by strong covalent bond. Each layer is therefore like a gaint covalent molecule. Between these layers are weak attraction forcesand so the layers will pass over easily. GRAPHITE With only three covalent bonds formed between carbon atoms in every layer an unbonded electron is present on each carbon electron. These delocalised electrons form electron clouds between the layers hense conducting electricity. DIANOMD Each carbon atom is bonded with four others through covalent bond. They form tetrahedral arrangement similar to silicon oxide. This bonding scheme gives rise to a very rigid three dimensional structure accounts for the extreme hardness. All the electrons of the atoms are used to form covalent bonds so there are no electrons to conduct electricity. Allotropes of carbon It is possible to manufacture different allotropes of carbon. Diamond is made by heating graphite to 300.c under high pressure. Graphite can be made by heading a mixture of coke and sand at a very high temperature in an electric arc furnace for about 24 hours. METALLIC BONDING Another way in which atoms obtain a more stable electronic configuration is found in metals. Electrons in the outer shell of the atoms of a metal move freely throughout the structure. They are delocalised forming a sea of electrons. When these metal atoms loose electrons they form a gaint lattice of positive atoms. METALLIC BOND The negatively charged ions attract all the positive metal electrons and bond them together with strong electrostatic forces of attraction as a single unit. PROPERTIES OF METAL • They conduct electricity due to the mobile electrons within the metal structure. When a metal is connected in a circuit, the electrons move toward the positive terminal while at the same time electrons are fed into the other end of the metal from the negative terminal. • They usually have a high melting and boiling point due to strong attraction between the ions. • They have very high dencity as they are packed very closely together. PROPERTIES OF METAL • They are malleable and ductile. Unlike fixed bonds in diamond, metal bonds are not rigid but they are still strong. if a force is applied to metals, rows of ions will slide over one another. They reposition themselves and the strong bonds re form. BYSAMARTH. J
