Basic ChemistryCHAPTER 2-2

Inert Elements

Atoms are stable (inert) when the outermost shell is complete

Inert Elements

Atoms are stable (inert) when the outermost shell is complete

Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to complete their outermost orbitals and reach a stable state

Inert Elements

Atoms are stable (inert) when the outermost shell is complete

Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to complete their outermost orbitals and reach a stable state

Atoms are considered stable when their outermost orbital has 8 electrons (With exception to the first shell

Inert Elements

Reactive ElementsValence shells are not full and are unstable

Tend to gain, lose, or share electronsAllow for bond formation, which produces stable

valence

Molecules and Compounds

Molecule: Two or more like atoms combined chemically

Compound: Two or more different atoms combined chemically

What are chemical reactions?What do you remember?

What are chemical reactions?

Atoms are united by chemical bonds

OR

Atoms dissociate from other atoms when chemical bonds are broken

Chemical Bonds

Ionic vs. Covalent

Ionic Bonds

Form when electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another

IonsCharged particles

Anions - negativeCations - positiveEither donate or accept electrons

Ionic Bonds

+ –

Sodium atom (Na)(11p+; 12n0; 11e–)

Chlorine atom (Cl)(17p+; 18n0; 17e–)

Sodium ion (Na+) Chloride ion (Cl–)

Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Covalent Bonds

Atoms become stable through shared electrons

Single covalent bonds share one pair of electrons

Double covalent bonds share two pairs of electrons

Polarity

Covalently bonded molecules

Polarity

Some are non-polarElectrically neutral

as a molecule

Some are polarHave a positive and

negative side

Hydrogen bonds

Weak chemical bonds

Hydrogen is attracted to the negative portion of polar molecule

Provides attraction between molecules
