2.2 Structure of MatterBonding of Atoms + Molecules and Compounds

Write

2.2: Structure of Matter Bonding of Atoms Write

•Chemical Bonding• an attraction between atoms that causes

them to bind and create molecules


•Molecule• Two or more atoms joined together

chemically

•Compound• A molecule that contains at least two

different elements.

Molecule

Compound

Compounds are a type of molecule.

All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.

2.1: Structure of Matter Molecules and Compounds Write


Why does chemical bonding occur?

• Every atom wants its outer electron shell full of electrons. This is why bonding between atoms occurs.

•Octet Rule• atoms create chemical bonds to achieve an

octet (8) of electrons in their outer most electron shell


•Two ways to obtain an octet:

• Ionization • Transfer of electrons

• Sharing


• Ionization• Occurs when an atom gives away or

receives an electron causing it to turn into an ion.

Cl17

Na11

-

+

Ionization: How atoms become IonsNa is going to donate an electron to Cl. This fills Cl’s energy level and drops Na back to a full energy level.

Because of the number of electrons is no longer the same as the protons there is a negative and positive charge.

Ionic Bond

Transfering electrons creates ions. Oppositely charged ions are attracted to one another (opposites attract). This attraction is an ionic bond.

Read and Watch

Covalent Bonds

• Sharing Electrons. Both atoms obtain 8 electrons in their outer electron shell.

•Two types of Covalent Bonds:

• Non-polar Covalent Bonds• Electrons are shared equally• Results in a non-polar molecule

• Molecule does not have poles

• Polar Covalent Bonds• Electrons are shared unequally• Results in a polar molecule

• Molecules have positive and negative poles

Polar Molecules Non-Polar MoleculesListen

2.1: Introduction Write

•Polar Molecule• A molecule that has positive and negative

poles due to uneven sharing of electrons. Created by polar covalent bonds.

•Nonpolar Molecules• A molecule that is neutral. Created by

nonpolar covalent bonds.

Hydrogen Bond

Read and Watch

• A bond formed between two polar molecules. A positive pole is attracted to a negative pole.

Listen


Ionic Bond Covalent Bond

Hydrogen Bond

One atom transfers (gives or takes) an electron to fill its outer energy level (ionization). The ions created from this transfer attract and form an ionic bond.

Two atoms share electrons to fill their electron shells

Two polar molecules bond together due to +/- charges
