Unit 6 - Covalent Bonding

What you must know:
  1. Why atoms form bonds and why some bonds are covalent and others are ionic
  2. How to determine the nature of a chemical bond as ionic, polar covalent or covalent based on electronegativity differences.
  3. How to name molecular compounds
  4. How to draw dot diagrams for elements and compounds.
  5. Properties of molecular compounds and how intermolecular forces influence those properties
  6. Three intermolecular forces and how they occur.

Extra Credit Information for 3rd Quarter - Spring Semester

Websites

To read and study from -

intermolecular forces

http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/index.html - use this index to read and study the ionic, covalent and intermolecular force presentations. A great resource - clear and to the point.

Nomenclature

Please see your Nomenclature Flow Chart for help in naming. You will have several practice pages, also.

Your text discusses this on pages 248-251

Some web sites that may help...

 

http://science.widener.edu/~svanbram/chem145/ch03/index.html - a good summary

http://www.fairbornchempage.com/Resources/Prefixes.htm - did you forget the prefixes?

http://chemsite.lsrhs.net/ChemicalBonds/naming_molecular.html - general rules summary

http://science.widener.edu/svb/tutorial/namingcsn7.html - practice naming with instant answers for ionic and molecular

Dot Diagrams

You have several handouts that discuss this, pages 243 -247 in your text cover this and some helpful web sites may include:

Basic Concept Questions - answer these questions and place into your notes

1. What is the fundamental unit of a molecular compound?

2. What is the fundamental unit of an ionic compound?

3. What elements form molecular compounds (or have covalent bonds?)

4. What type of compounds have low boiling points?  high boiling points?

5. Is water a good conductor?

6. Examples of molecular compounds

7. Which type of compound usually dissolves in water and conduct electricity when dissolved?

8. What is a covalent bond?

9. Why do atoms form bonds?

10. What is a polar bond?

11. How is a polar covalent bond different from a non polar covalent bond?

12. What is electronegativity?

13. If the electronegativity difference is very large and the material contains a metal, what type of bond will form?

14. If the electronegativity difference is small or zero between two nonmetals in a bond, what type of covalent bond will be formed?

15. The more electronegative atom in a molecular compound will develop what partial charge?


Intermolecular forces

1. How is an intermolecular force different from a chemical bond?

2. Intermolecular forces exist between what type of particles?

3. Name three intermolecular forces

4. Which of those three are the strongest?
