Noble Gases
are nonreactive, nonmetallic elements in group 18 of the periodic table. As
you can see on the periodic table in the figure below, noble gases include
helium (He) , neon (Ne) , argon (Ar) , krypton (Kr) , xenon (Xe) , and radon
(Rn) .
Octet Rule
The octet rule refers to the tendency of
atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the
valence shell. When atoms have fewer than
eight electrons, they tend to react and form
more stable compounds.
Chemical bond
attraction between atoms,
ions, or molecules that
enables the formation of
chemical compound.
3 common types of
chemical bond

An ionic bond is the electrostatic force that holds the
metals and nonmetals in an ionic compound.

Lewis Structure
A Lewis Structure is a very simplified representation of the
valence shell electrons in a molecule.
It is used to show how the electrons are arranged around
individual atoms in a molecule.
Electrons are shown as "dots" or for bonding electrons
as a line between the two atoms.
The goal is to obtain the "best" electron configuration,
i.e. the octet rule and formal charges need to be
satisfied.

Formal Charge
An atom’s formal charge is the electrical charge

difference between the valence electrons in an isolated

atom and the number of electrons assigned to that atom

in a Lewis structure.
The formal charge is calculated by:

(number of lone pair electrons)
Example Write the Formal charges for

SOLID STATE
CLASSIFICATION
SOLIDS
A solid consists of structural units – atoms, molecules or ions – that are attracted to
one another strongly enough to give a rigid substance.
One way to classify solids is by the type of force holding the structural units
together.

Molecular Solid

Metallic Solid

Ionic Solid

Covalent Network Solid


SOLIDS
Solids can also be classified as crystalline or amorphous.

A crystalline solid is composed of one or more crystals; each crystal has a well-
defined ordered structure in three dimensions.
e.g. sodium chloride (table salt), sucrose (table sugar), metals

An amorphous solid has a disordered structure; it lacks the well-defined


arrangement of basic units (atoms, molecules, or ions) found in a crystal.
e.g. glass, obsidian
CRYSTALS
A crystal lattice is the geometric arrangement
of lattice points of a crystal, in which we choose

H
one lattice point at the same location within
each of the basic units of the crystal.

The unit cell of a crystal is the smallest boxlike


unit (each box having faces that are
parallelograms) from which you can imagine
constructing a crystal by stacking the units in
three dimensions.
CRYSTALS
There are seven basic shapes possible for unit cells, which give rise to the
seven crystal systems used to classify crystals. A crystal belonging to a
given crystal system has a unit cell with one of the seven shapes.

CRYSTALS
There are seven basic shapes possible for unit cells, which give rise to the
seven crystal systems used to classify crystals. A crystal belonging to a
given crystal system has a unit cell with one of the seven shapes.

~
CRYSTALS
Most of the crystal systems have more than one possible crystal lattice.
A simple lattice has a unit cell in which there are lattice points only at the
corners of the unit cell. Other lattices in the same crystal system have
additional lattice points either within the body of the unit cell or on faces
of the unit cell.
CUBIC UNIT CELLS
The cubic crystal system has three possible cubic unit cells.

STRUCTURES OF SOME CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS
Molecular Solids; Closest Packing

The simplest molecular solids are the frozen noble gases. The
molecules are single atoms, and the intermolecular interactions are
London forces.
The maximal attraction is obtained when each atom is surrounded
by the largest possible number of other atoms.

When the spheres in the third layer are placed in the x sites, so
that the third layer repeats the first layer, we label the stacking
ABA. 000
When successive layers are placed so that the spheres of each
2003
layer are directly over a layer that is one layer away, you get a
stacking that you label ABABABA. CLC
