Summary of 8.1 Ionic, Covalent, and Metallic Bonding | High School Chemistry

Main Ideas and Concepts

• Types of Bonding:
  • The lesson covers three major types of bonding: ionic, covalent, and metallic.
  • Each type has distinct characteristics and properties.
• Ionic Bonding:
  • Involves the transfer of electrons from metals (low ionization energy) to non-metals (high electron affinity).
  • Ionic Compounds are typically formed from a metal and a non-metal.
  • Key characteristics:
    • High melting and boiling points.
    • Brittle nature, which leads to shattering when stressed.
  • Lattice energy is introduced as a measure of the strength of ionic bonds, influenced by the charge and size of the ions.
• Covalent Bonding:
  • Involves the sharing of electrons between non-metals.
  • Defined by electronegativity differences:
    • Nonpolar covalent bonds (electronegativity difference < 0.5).
    • Polar covalent bonds (electronegativity difference between 0.5 and 1.7).
  • Molecular compounds have lower melting and boiling points compared to Ionic Compounds.
• Metallic Bonding:
  • Characterized by a "sea of electrons" where valence electrons are not bound to individual atoms, allowing for conductivity.
  • Properties include:
    • Electrical and thermal conductivity.
    • Malleability (can be shaped).
    • Ductility (can be drawn into wires).
    • Luster (shiny appearance).
• Comparison of Bonding Types:
  • Ionic Compounds form crystalline structures and are typically brittle.
  • Covalent Compounds can be molecular or network covalent solids, with the latter forming large crystal structures.
  • Metallic substances can be pure metals or alloys, not forming compounds in the traditional sense.

Methodology / Key Points

• Recognizing Ionic Compounds:
  • Metal + Non-metal.
  • Electronegativity difference > 1.7.
• Recognizing Covalent Compounds:
  • Non-metal + Non-metal.
  • Electronegativity difference < 1.7.
• Metallic Bonding:
  • Valence electrons are shared among all atoms, leading to unique properties.
• Properties of Different Bonding Types:
  • Ionic Compounds: High melting/boiling points, brittle, form crystals.
  • Covalent Compounds: Lower melting/boiling points, can be molecular or network solids.
  • Metallic Compounds: Conduct electricity and heat, malleable, ductile, and shiny.
