Chapter 3 Bonds
Chemical Bonds
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical Bonds | Attractive forces that hold different atoms or ions together in compounds |
| Compounds | Made of two elements |
| Bond Angles | Tell how three or more atoms are oriented in space |
| Bond Length | Distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms |
| Models of Compounds | Ball-and-stick, Space-filling modelsStructural formula |
| Ball-and-stick model | Atoms are balls; sticks are bonds |
| Structural formula | Chemical symbols represent the atoms |
| Compounds with network structures | Strong solids; Silicon dioxide |
| Compounds made of networks of bonded ions | High melting and boiling points; Quartz, Sodium chloride |
| Compounds made of molecules | Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sugar |
| Strength of attractions between molecules | Solid-strongest; Liquid-next strongest; Gas-weakest |
| Hydrogen Bonds | Attractions between water molecules |
| Ionic Bonding | Formed between oppositely charged ions; transfer of electrons; occurs between metals and non-metals |
| Ionic Compounds | In the form of networks, not molecules |
| Metallic Bonds | Formed by atoms in metals packing electrons close together |
| Covalent Bonds | Formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons; occurs between non-metals |
| Carbon atoms | Form four covalent bonds in organic compounds |
| Hydrocarbon | Made of only hydrogen and carbon (methane) |
| Alkanes | Hydrocarbons that have a single covalent bonds (propane) |
| Polymers | Means "many"; Have repeating subunits; natural and man-made |
| Natural Polymers | Wood, cotton, wool, protein, rubber, protein, DNA |
| Man-made polymers | Plastics, fibers |
| Space-filling model | Used to compare sizes of atoms in a molecule |
| Overall charge in a compound | Must be 0 |
| Organic compounds | Must contain the element carbon |
| Alkynes | Hydrocarbons that have triple covalent bonds |
| Alkenes | Hydrocarbons that have double covalent bonds |
| Molecular Formula | Tells how many atoms of each type are in one molecule |
