Chemical bonding and reactions are fundamental processes that follow precise rules of conservation and energy exchange. Conservation of mass energy and charge in chemical reactions governs all chemical transformations, while endothermic and exothermic processes in chemical bonding determine energy flow. The formation and characteristics of ionic and covalent bonds create diverse molecular structures.

• Chemical bonds form through electron transfer (ionic) or sharing (covalent), following conservation principles
• Bond formation releases energy (exothermic) while breaking requires energy (endothermic)
• Molecular polarity depends on electron distribution and affects physical properties
• Bonding type determines material characteristics like conductivity and melting point
• Atoms seek stable electron configurations through various bonding mechanisms

Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions

This page explores the energy dynamics of chemical reactions and molecular polarity. It details how bonds store and release energy during chemical processes.

Definition: Endothermic reactions absorb energy from surroundings, while exothermic reactions release energy to surroundings.

Highlight: The BARF principle (Broken Absorbed, Released Formed) explains energy changes in reactions.

Example: When hydrogen molecules (H₂) break apart, they absorb energy (endothermic), while when iodine atoms combine to form I₂, they release energy (exothermic).

Vocabulary: Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

The page also covers molecular polarity principles and the SNAP rule for determining molecular polarity.

Covalent Bonding Mechanisms

This page delves into the specifics of covalent bonding and molecular structure formation. It explains how nonmetals share electrons to achieve stable configurations.

Definition: Covalent bonds form when two nonmetals share valence electrons, with the electronegativity difference being less than 1.7.

Example: The formation of water molecules demonstrates covalent bonding where oxygen shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms.

Highlight: Multiple covalent bonds can form when atoms share more than one pair of electrons.

Vocabulary: Lewis dot diagrams are representations showing valence electrons as dots around atomic symbols.

The page includes step-by-step instructions for writing covalent bond formulas and understanding electron sharing patterns.

Advanced Bonding Concepts

This final page expands on covalent bonding principles and multiple bond formation. It focuses on the sharing of electron pairs and resulting molecular structures.

Definition: Multiple covalent bonds involve sharing more than one pair of electrons between atoms.

Example: Oxygen molecules (O₂) form double bonds by sharing two pairs of electrons.

Highlight: Group 16 elements (oxygen family) commonly form multiple covalent bonds.

The page emphasizes how different types of covalent bonds affect molecular properties and stability.

Fundamentals of Chemical Bonding

This page introduces core concepts of chemical bonding and conservation principles. Chemical reactions consistently demonstrate conservation of mass, energy, and charge while following specific bonding patterns.

Definition: Chemical bonds form when valence electrons are either transferred between atoms (ionic), shared between atoms (covalent), or exist in a free-moving electron sea (metallic).

Highlight: Atoms achieve stability by obtaining a full valence electron shell, typically requiring 8 electrons (except for H and He which need 2).

Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl) demonstrates ionic bonding where sodium transfers an electron to chlorine.

Vocabulary: Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom that participate in chemical bonding.

The page includes detailed diagrams showing electron configurations and bonding patterns, emphasizing how electronegativity differences determine bond types.
