Chapter 3: Molecular Structure and Geometry


Lesson 1 – Types of Bonds and Compounds

Types of Bonds
● Ionic bonds – transfer electrons between elements with large difference in electronegativity (usually
metal with nonmetal, although polyatomic ions can be made of all nonmetals)
● Covalent bonds – sharing of electrons between two elements with similar electronegativity (between
two nonmetals).

Table of Bonds

Lesson 2 – Lattice Energy

What is Lattice Energy?


● Lattice energy is the energy required to completely separate an ionic compound’s cations from its anions.
● NaCl(s)#)#*6+(g) + Cl–(g)
● Larger charges = larger lattice energy
● Shorter bond distance (smaller ions) = larger lattice energy

Lesson 3 – Lewis Structures

Octet Rules
● Every atom wants to feel like it has 8 electrons
● Exceptions: Hydrogen and Helium only want 2 e-, Beryllium only wants 4 e-, Boron and Aluminum want 6 e-
usually
● Third row and lower can have more than 8 electrons if needed

How to Draw Lewis Structures


1. Count the valence electrons for every atom in your formula. Add one electron to your count for each
negative charge. Subtract one electron from your count for each positive charge.
2. Write down the symbols for all the atoms in your molecule. Usually, the least electronegative atom goes
in the center. Connect each atom with a single bond, remembering that each single bond represents
two electrons.
3. Use your remaining electrons to complete everyone’s octet by adding lone-pair electrons (also called
nonbonding pairs) around each atom, leaving the central atom for last.
4. Place any leftover electrons on the central atom, even if doing so violates the octet rule.
5. If there are not enough electrons to give the central atom an octet, form multiple bonds (like double or
triple bonds) to complete the central atom’s octet.

Lesson 4 - Quiz

1. Which of the following molecules contains a triple bond?


I. N2
II. CH3CN
III. C2H2

A. I only
B. I and III only
C. II and III only
D. III only
E. I, II, and III

Lesson 5 – Formal Charge and Resonance Contributor

How to Count Bonds


● Each single bond in a molecule is one σ (sigma) bond.
● All double bonds contain one σ and one π (pi) bond.
● Triple bonds contain one σ and two π bonds

Formal Charges

Formal Charge = (valence electrons) – (dots) – (bonds)

● The most stable resonance contributor:

○ Has a full octet on all atoms

○ Has more covalent bonds and fewer formal charges

○ Has negative formal charges on more electronegative atoms, if formal charges are necessary

Lesson 6 – Bond Order

● Bond order is the average length of each bond, when multiple contributors are possible.
● Count up each individual bond and divide by the total number of ‘things’ around the central atom.

Lesson 8 – Polarity

How to Determine Polarity


1. Draw your molecule’s Lewis structure flat on your paper and then spread out all of its groups (including
its lone pairs) as far as possible, around its central atom.

2. Draw arrows between every atom in the molecule, going from the less electronegative atom (A) to the
more electronegative atom (B) in each bond.

3. Answer the following question: “If my central atom were a truck stuck in the mud being pulled in the
directions indicated by the arrows, would the truck move?” If so, then your molecule is polar. If not,
then it’s nonpolar.

Chapter 4: Periodic Trends


Lesson 1 – Periodic Table and Descriptive Chemistry

Periodic Table
● Periods = rows on the periodic table
● Groups = vertical columns on the periodic table
● Elements in the same group tend to have similar chemical properties

Important Groups to Know


● Alkali metals – low ionization energies, react explosively with water, form ionic compounds
● Alkaline earth metals – low ionization energies, don’t react as violently with water
● Halogens – highly electronegative, high electron affinities, highly reactive with metals, good oxidizing agents
(they want to be reduced)
● Noble gases – inert (unreactive) gases
● Transition metals – form colorful compounds due to the way their d-orbitals behave
● Oxygen group – O2 is a good oxidizing agent, but O3 is even better oxidizing agent.
○ Likes to react with metals to form metal oxides.

Lesson 2 – Atomic Size (Radius) and Bond Lengths

Atomic Size (Radius)


● Atoms get LARGER as you go DOWN and to the LEFT (Francium is largest element)
● Why do atoms get larger as you go DOWN a group?
○ Higher energy “n” shell = larger size
● Why do atoms get smaller as you go ACROSS a period, from left to right?
○ 7#Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) = 8#9:;.

Bond Length
● The distance between the nuclei of two atoms

Bond length = (atomic radius1 + atomic radius2)

Lesson 4 – Ionization Energy

Ionization Energy
● Definition – Energy required to remove an electron from an atom
● Trend – Increases as you go UP and to the RIGHT on periodic table (Helium has highest I.E.)

Exceptions
● Beryllium has a full 2s2 subshell, and Nitrogen has half full 2p3 subshell. Takes more energy to strip these
electrons since they are relatively stable.
● Therefore, Beryllium has a higher ionization energy than Boron, and Nitrogen has a higher ionization
energy than Oxygen.

Successive Ionization Energies


● Once you remove all the valence electrons, ionization energy increases a lot
!"#)##!"+ + e- I.E. 1 = 738

Mg+##)##!"2+ + e- I.E. 2 = 1451


Mg2+##)##!"3+ + e- I.E. 3 = 7733

Lesson 5 – Electronegativity and Electron Affinity

Electronegativity
● Definition – How ‘thirsty’ an atom is for electrons
● Trend – Increases as you go UP and to the RIGHT (Fluorine is most electronegative)
○ Note: Noble gases are excluded from this trend, they have a full octet already

Electron Affinity
● Definition – the energy given off when an atom gains an electron. Opposite of ionization energy.
○ Tip: Electron affinity is an exothermic reaction
● Trend – Increases as you go UP and to the RIGHT (Chlorine has highest electron affinity).

Chapter 5: Gases
Lesson 1 – Temperature, Volume, and Pressure (Gases)

Temperature
K = °C + 273

Volume
Liters, 1cm3 = 1mL = 1cc

Pressure
Pressure is caused by gas molecules hitting the side of a container
P = F/A
1 atm = 760 torr = 760 mmHg

Lesson 2 – How to Measure Gas Pressure in a Lab

Mercury Manometer

The unknown gas pushes down the tube of mercury by 40mm. What is the pressure of
the gas, assuming we are at sea level?

Lesson 3 – Kinetic Molecular Theory and Ideal Gas Assumptions

Ideal Gas Assumptions


1. The volume or size of each individual gas molecule is insignificant.
a. Most accurate at low pressures
2. Gas molecules’ collisions with each other are perfectly elastic. No intermolecular forces.
a. Most accurate at high temperatures, and low IM forces
3. The average kinetic energy of a gas depends only on the system’s temperature.

Lesson 4 – Combined Gas Law, Ideal Gas Law

Gas Laws

1. A flask contains 2.0 mol of He gas at 25°C and 1.00 atm. How much He gas, in grams, must be added
to increase the pressure to 2.00 atm at constant temperature and volume?

2. A 0.02 mol sample of an ideal gas in a sealed 1.0 L container was heated from 27 °C to 227°C. What is
the pressure of the gas at this new temperature?

3. Consider the gaseous reaction: A(g) + B(g) )#AB(g)


A mixture of 0.04 mole of gas A and 0.1 mole of gas B was allowed to react at 300 K in a 1 L sealed
container. At the end of the reaction, what is the total pressure of the mixture? (The temperature and
volume remain constant during the reaction.)

Gas Density

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures

Graham’s Law of Effusion

Lesson 6 – Real Gases

● A real gas is most likely to exhibit ideal gas behavior at high temperature and low pressure.
○ High Temperature: At high temperatures, molecules have high kinetic energy. Increased kinetic
energy reduces the influence of intermolecular forces, creating more elastic collisions.

○ Low Pressure: At low pressure, the total volume of a gas is high. As the volume of gas
increases (as pressure decreases, volume increases), the size of each individual gas molecule
relative to the elevated gas volume becomes less significant.

Chapter 11: Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry


Lesson 1 – Laws of Thermodynamics and Definitions

Definitions
● State Function – a function that only depends on the initial and final states of the system, not how it got
there. Almost everything in thermodynamics is a state function, except work (w) and heat (q).
● System – The chemical reaction we are examining
● Surroundings – Everything else around it.

Laws of Thermodynamics
1. (Conservation of Energy) - Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted from one form to
another.
2. (Entropy increase) - The combined change in entropy of a system and its surroundings (the “universe”) must
be positive
3. (Perfect crystal at 0K = 0 entropy) - For a perfect crystal that’s been cooled to 0 K (–273 °C, called absolute
zero), its entropy approaches zero.

Lesson 2 – Enthalpy

● Enthalpy – the amount of heat-energy a substance contains


● Exothermic – a process that gives off heat to its surroundings (negative ΔH). They feel hot to the touch.
● Endothermic – a process that consumes heat from its surroundings (positive ΔH). They feel cold to the touch.
● O@(:X#)#<:YZ:X#)#[69#3#K2X@>\.?]:=

● [69#)#<:YZ:X#)#O@(:X#3#K^@>\.?]:=

Bootcamp.com 89
Dr. Mike’s Gen Chem Outline

Lesson 3 – Enthalpies of Formation

● Enthalpy of Formation – the ΔH of a chemical reaction forming one mole of a single substance from its parent
elements in their standard states.

ΔHrxn = ΣnHproducts – ΣnHreactants

Standard States
The enthalpy of formation of any element in its standard state is 0.
Examples: Noble gases, H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, Hg, C(graphite), S8

Example
Using the information in the table, calculate the ΔHrxn for the following reaction:
C2H5OH(g) + 3O2#)#%',2 + 3H2O(g) ΔH° = ?

ΔHf° (kJ/mol)

C2H5OH(g) -200

CO2 -400

H2O(g) -250

Bootcamp.com 90
Dr. Mike’s Gen Chem Outline

Lesson 4 – Thermodynamic Equations

ΔE = q + w
w = -PΔV

+q (endothermic) Heat is transferred to the system (from the surroundings)

–q (exothermic) Heat is transferred to the surroundings (from the system)

+w The surroundings do work on the system (compression)

–w The system does work on the surroundings (expansion)

Lesson 5 – Heat Transfer and Calorimetry

Heat Transfer
● Conduction – heat transfer due to direct contact via molecular agitation within a material
● Convection – heat transfer due to the motion of a fluid
● Radiation – heat transfer via electromagnetic radiation

Calorimetry
Bomb calorimeter

q = –CcalorimeterΔT

Ccalorimeter = the calorimeter’s specific heat

Example
A bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 2000 cal/°C is used to measure a banana’s heat content (calories).
During the banana’s combustion, the temperature changed from 15 °C to 20 °C. What is this banana’s q?

● Oxidation – loss of electrons


● Reduction – gain of electrons

● Oxidizing Agent (Oxidant) – what is reduced


● Reducing Agent (Reductant) – what is oxidized

Lesson 2 – Oxidation States

1. Elements in their elemental form are zero oxidation state (Ex. Na, He, O2, H2, N2, P4, S8, O3 = 0 oxidation
state).
2. Group 1 metals are +1, Group 2 metals are +2 in compounds.
3. Hydrogen is +1 when bonded to nonmetals and –1 when bonded to metals.
4. Transition elements’ oxidation numbers must be determined from the other elements in the compound.
5. The most electronegative atoms get their typical oxidation state.
6. When assigning oxidation numbers, the last element assigned gets whatever number balances the charge
for the entire compound.

Example
1. Assign oxidation states for all of the atoms to the following:
● Al2O3

● Na2SO3

● H2O2

● C2H3O21-

2. For the following chemical reaction please assign the oxidation state for each element on both sides
of the equation. Then answer the following questions: Ba(s) + Cl2(g)#)#D6'(2(s)

Which reactant gets oxidized? What is the reducing agent?

Lesson 3 – Balancing Redox Reactions

Balancing Under Acidic Conditions


1. Identify what is getting oxidized and what is getting reduced.
2. Separate the oxidation reaction from the reduction reaction. (These two reactions you’ve now written are
called half-reactions)
3. Balance all the atoms that are NOT oxygen or hydrogen.
4. Balance oxygen atoms by adding H2O to whichever side is needed.
5. Balance hydrogen atoms by adding H+ to whichever side is needed.
6. Add e– wherever necessary, to balance the charge on each side of the equation.
7. As needed, add integers to your half-reactions to make the number of moles of e– equal in each of your half-
reactions. This final, balanced number of e– is the number of overall electrons-per-mole that get transferred
in this particular redox reaction.

Balancing Under Basic Conditions


1. First, follow the same steps as for acidic conditions.
2. For each H+ you added to your half-reactions, now add the same number of OH–’s to both sides of the
equation. Now, wherever an H+ and an OH– appear on the same side of an equation, combine them to form
H2O’s. Eliminate excess H2O.
3. Add e– wherever necessary, to balance the charge on each side of the equation.
4. As needed, add integers to your half-reactions to make the number of moles of e– equal in each of your half-
reactions. This final, balanced number of e– is the number of overall electrons-per-mole that get transferred
in this particular redox reaction.
