Review of Compound Classification.

1) Ionic Compounds – generally atoms bonded together


in which electrons are transferred from one atom to
another; usually a metal and non-metal.

a) CaCl2 Ca – metal Cl – non-metal

2) Covalent compounds – atoms bonded together by
sharing electrons; usually a non-metal and
non-metal.

● Shapes are important for covalent compounds (recall:


tetrahedral, bent, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal planar and
linear).
● Electron configuration interactions for covalent
compounds are more complex (hybridization)

Predicting Ionic or Covalent Bonds


Ionic Covalent
Metal + non-metal Non-metal + non-metal
ΔEN>1.7 ΔEN<1.7
Solid at room temperature Solid, liquid or gas at room
(chrystalline) temperature
High melting and boiling Low melting and boiling
points points
Good conductors of Poor conductors of
electricity in water electricity
Generally soluble in water May or may not be soluble
in water

Electronegativity – the ability for an atom to attract electrons


in a chemical bond. The higher the electronegativity, the
more it attracts electrons. The higher the difference in
electronegativity (ΔEN), the more ionic (or polar) the bond.

ΔEN

polar covalent bond(0.5-1.7)

3.3 1.7 0.5 0


pure covalent bond(0-0.5)

mostly ionic bond(>1.7) mostly covalent bond (<1.7)


(usually metal and non-metal) (usually non-metal and non-metal)
Other Definitions:

a) Lattice Energy
lattice energy is the energy required to break apart an ionic solid and convert its
component atoms into gaseous ions. This definition causes the value for the
lattice energy to always be positive, since this will always be an endothermic
reaction. 
b) Bond Energy
Energy is always required to break a bond, which is known as bond energy
c) Metallic Bonds
Metallic bonds are the force of attraction between valence electrons and the metal atoms. It is the
sharing of many detached electrons between many positive ions, where the electrons act as a
"glue" giving the substance a definite structure. It is unlike covalent or ionic bonding.
