1.6.1b describe the formation of ions in terms of electron loss or gain AND 1.6.1c draw electron configuration diagrams of cations and anions using dots or crosses to represent electrons AND 1.6.1e describe ionic bonding as the result of strong net electrostatic attraction between ions

IONIC BONDING 
- ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal
- ionic bonding is the complete transfer of electrons between positive and negative ions. The positive ion transfers electrons to the negative ion to empty its outer shell and become stable, forming a strong electrostatic attraction between the ions.

You should know:
- that cations are ions that have lost electrons and that anions have gained electrons
- how to draw electronic configuration diagrams of cations and anions using dots or crosses to represent electrons
- to describe ionic bonding as the result of strong net electrostatic attraction between ions
- that the melting point of ionic substances is higher the stronger the bond and why
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRACTICE QUESTIONS
1.i) Name the type of bonding in magnesium chloride.

ii) Draw a diagram (using dots or crosses) to show the bonding in magnesium chloride. Include all of the electrons and the charges present.








iii) Suggest why the melting temperature of magnesium oxide is higher than that of magnesium chloride, even though both are almost 100% ionic.
Magnesium chloride has an equation of MgCl2, as Mg has a charge of 2+ and Cl has a charge of 1-. Magnesium oxide has the equation MgO, as O has a charge of 2-. Therefore, MgCl2 has two individual sets of bonds, while MgO only has one with two pairs within it. This means that MgO has a higher melting point, as more energy is required to break the bond, as it has stronger electrostatic attraction.

2. The bonding in magnesium oxide, MgO, is:
- ionic
- metallic and ionic
- ionic and covalent
- metallic and covalent

3. Element R is in group 1 of the periodic table and element T is in group 6. R and T are not symbols for the elements.

- R2T

ii) The compound of R and T will have bonding which is predominantly:
- ionic
- covalent
- dative covalent
- metallic

iii) In terms of its electrical conductivity, the compound of R and T will:
- conduct when solid and liquid
- conduct when solid but not when liquid
- conduct when liquid but not when solid
- not conduct when solid or liquid

1.6.3a demonstrate an understanding that metals consist of giant lattices of metal ions in a sea of delocalised electrons AND 1.6.3b describe metallic bonding as the strong attraction between metal ions and the sea of delocalised electrons AND 1.6.3c use the models in 1.6.3a and 1.6.3b to interpret simple properties of metals, eg conductivity and melting temperatures

METALLIC BONDING

Metallic bonds are formed when metals give electrons to the sea of delocalized electrons, resulting in positive ions held together by negative electrons.
The strength of metallic bonding depends on two factors:
- the charge of the metal ions
The greater the charge on the metal ions, the greater the attraction between the ions and the delocalized electrons and the stronger the metallic bonds. A higher melting point is evidence of stronger bonds in the substance.
- the size of the metal ions
The smaller the metal ion, the closer the positive nucleus is to the delocalized electrons. This means there is a greater attraction between the two, which creates a stronger metallic bond.

PRACTICE QUESTIONS
1.i) Describe the bonding in magnesium and explain why it is a good conductor of electricity.
Magnesium is a lattice structure of Mg2+ ions that have lost two electrons each to the sea of delocalized electrons. These delocalized electrons hold all of the magnesium ions together with electrostatic attraction, as opposite charges attract. This is metallic bonding.
Magnesium is a good conductor of electricity because of all of the delocalized electrons that hold it together, which are free to move around and carry electrical charge.

ii) State the type of bonding that exists in solid magnesium.
metallic bonding

iii) Explain fully why the melting point of magnesium is higher than that of sodium.
Magnesium loses 2 electrons to the sea of delocalised electrons to become stable, while sodium only loses 1 electron. Therefore, magnesium has more delocalised electrons between the magnesium ions to hold them together, resulting in greater electrostatic attraction in the lattice structure. As sodium has less delocalised electrons, it has weaker electrostatic attraction, so less energy is needed to break the bonds, so it has a lower melting point. Also, magnesium has a higher charge, so it is more strongly attracted to the delocalised electrons.

2. Metals usually have high melting points and boiling points because there are:
- strong attractions between the ions
- strong attractions between the delocalised electrons
- strong attractions between the ions and the delocalised electrons
- strong intermolecular forces

3. The melting temperatures of the elements of period 3 are given in the table below. Use these values to answer the questions that follow.


i) explain why the melting temperature of sodium is very much less than of magnesium.
The metallic bonds in sodium are weaker as the ions have a lower charge, so they have weaker attraction to the delocalised electrons. Also, there are fewer delocalised electrons in sodium than in magnesium, so there is less electrostatic attraction. As the forces of attraction are weaker in sodium, less energy is needed to break the bonds, so it has a lower melting point.


1.6.1c draw electron configuration diagrams of cations and anions using dots or crosses to represent electrons AND 1.6.2b draw electron configuration diagrams for simple covalently bonded molecules, including those with multiple bonds and dative covalent bonds, using dots or crosses to represent electrons

BONDING

You should be able to:
- draw dot and cross diagrams for cations and anions with electronic configurations
- describe how ions are formed by transfer of electrons
- construct ionic half equations for electrolysis
- explain why metals form positive ions and non-metals form negative ions
- predict charges of ions in the periodic table

Dative covalent bond: when both electrons in a covalent bond are from the same atom.



If you look at the periodic table, you can see that the group number (along the top) is the same as the number of outer shell electrons.
Group 1 metals all become 1+ ions, group 2 make ions with a 2+ charge, group 3 make ions with 3+ ions, group 7 make ions with a 2- charge, group 7 make ions with a 1- charge.
Transition metals have more complicated shells so they have several different + charges, depending on how oxidised they have become (eg. Fe2+ or Fe3+)
Group 0 or 8 are the noble gases, they are stable and inert and have full outer shells.

PRACTICE QUESTIONS
1. Draw a diagram (using dots or crosses) for the ions in magnesium fluoride showing all the electrons and the ionic charges on:
i) the magnesium ion








ii) the fluoride ion








2. Chlorine forms compounds with magnesium and with carbon.
i) draw a dot and cross diagram to show the electronic structure of the compound magnesium chloride (only the outer electrons need to be shown). Include the charges present.








ii) draw a dot and cross diagram to show the electronic structure of the compound tetrachloromethane (only the outer electrons need to be shown).








3.i) Define the term 'covalent bond'.
A covalent bond is formed when electron pairs are shared between non-metal atoms. The bonded atoms form a molecule. Covalent bonds have no free electrons or ions, so they cannot conduct electricity, and they are mainly gases or liquids at room temperature, as they have low melting and boiling points.

ii) Nitrogen forms an oxide called nitrous oxide (N2O). The bonding in nitrous oxide can be represented as: N---N-O
(--- is a triple bond)
Complete the diagram below for the N2O molecule using dots or crosses to represent electrons. Only show all of the outer electrons.

concentration = moles/volume = 0.005/0.025 = 0.02 mol dm-3 (this is probably due to me not working out the x)


1.3b write balanced equations (full and ionic) for simple reactions, including the use of state symbols

An important principle in chemical reactions is that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore it is important that symbol equations are balanced.
A balanced equation has the same number of each type of atom of each side of the equation.
eg.
unbalanced: Na + Cl2 --> NaCl
balanced: 2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl
This shows that two moles of sodium react with one mole of chlorine to make two moles of sodium chloride.

Equations containing ions should have the same overall charge on each side in order to be balanced. This can be achieved by balancing in the normal way.
eg.
unbalanced: Ca2+ + Cl- --> CaCl2
(overall charge of +1 --> overall charge of 0)
balanced: Ca2+ + 2Cl--> CaCl2
(overall charge of 0 --> overall charge of 0)

State symbols are letters that are added to a formula to indicate what state each reactant and product is in. The four state symbols are: s, solid; l, liquid; g, gas; aq, aqueous
These are added after the formula in brackets and subscript.
eg. 2H2(g) + O2(g) --> 2H2O(g)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IONIC EQUATIONS
Turning a word equation into a symbol equation, adding state symbols, and balancing (charges are in bold and italic):
iron (II) sulphate + sodium hydroxide --> iron (II) hydroxide + sodium sulphate
Fe2+SO42- + Na+OH- --> Fe2+OH- + Na+SO42-
FeSO4 + NaOH --> Fe(OH)2 + Na2SO4
FeSO+ 2NaOH --> Fe(OH)2 + Na2SO4
FeSO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) --> Fe(OH)2(s) + Na2SO4(aq)
Turning everything into an ionic equation:
Fe2+(aq)SO42-(aq) + 2Na+(aq)2OH-(aq) --> Fe2+(s)2OH-(s)+ 2Na+(aq)SO42-(aq)
Remove spectator ions (ions which did not change):
Fe2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) --> Fe2+(OH-)2(s)

A step-by-step breakdown of how to write an ionic equation:
1. write the word equation out as a symbol equation
2. add charges
3. balance the equation
4. add state symbols (remember your solubility rules)
5. separate the ions
6. remove spectator ions
7. rewrite and "tidy up" the equation

1.3e use chemical equations to calculate reacting masses and vice versa using the concepts of amount of substance and molar mass AND 1.3f use chemical equations to calculate volumes of gases and vice versa using the concepts of amount of substance and molar volume of gases, eg calculation of the mass or volume of CO2 produced by combustion of a hydrocarbon (given a molar volume for the gas)

You should know how to calculate reacting masses using this equation. For example:
What mass of magnesium oxide would be produced from 16g of magnesium in the reaction between magnesium and oxygen?
The equation is 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
You know that you have 16g of magnesium, so you can use this to calculate the moles of magnesium.
Moles = mass/RAM = 16g/24 gmol-1 = 0.67 moles
Next, you find out the ratio:
Mg : MgO, 2 : 2, 1:1, therefore both have 0.67 moles.
Therefore, the mass of MgO can be calculated with moles x RAM
Mass = moles x RAM = 0.67 x (24+16) = 26.67g
With the same question, you should be able to calculate the volume of O2 required. 
You already know how many moles of Mg you have (0.67 moles).
However, the ratio is different as you are trying to work out volume of oxygen, not magnesium oxide. Therefore, the ratio of Mg : O is 2 : 1, so the amount of moles of oxygen is half of 0.67, 0.034.
1 mole of a gas is 24dm3, so to work out the volume of oxygen, you have to do 0.034 x 24dm3, which equals 0.804dm3.

1.3h. Demonstrate an understanding of, and be able to perform, calculations using the Avogadro constant


The value for Avogadro's Number is 6.022 x 1023 mol¯1.










USING THIS DIAGRAM
in one direction, and then the other, with one step, and with two steps
Example questions:
  1. 0.450 mole (or gram) of Fe contains how many atoms?
  2. 0.200 mole (or gram) of H2O contains how many molecules?
Example #1: 0.450 mole of Fe contains how many atoms?
Solution: You have the amount of moles (0.450), so you start from the "moles of substance" box, and skip right to the "number of atoms or molecules" box. Therefore, you need to do: 0.450 mol x 6.022 x 1023 mol¯which is equal to 

Example #2: 0.200 mole of H2O contains how many molecules?
Solution: Again, you know the amount of moles (0.200), so you start from the "moles of substance" box and skip right to the "number of atoms or molecules" box, so to calculate the molecules you need to do: 0.200 mol x 6.022 x 1023 mol¯which gives you 

Here are the same two problems as before, but with gram replacing mole:
  1. 0.450 gram of Fe contains how many atoms?
  2. 0.200 gram of H2O contains how many molecules?
Look at the solution steps and you'll see we have to do two steps of working to go from grams (on the left) across to the right through moles and then to the number of atoms or molecules. 
So, the first one it would be like this:
Step One: 0.450 g divided by 55.85 g/mol = 0.00806 mol
Step Two: 0.00806 mol x 6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol, giving us 

and for the second, we have:
Step One: 0.200 g divided by 18.0 g/mol = 0.0111 mol
Step Two: 0.0111 mol x 6.022 x 1023 molecules/mol which would give us

the opposite direction
Now, let's see how well you can do the opposite direction. The first two are the one-step type, the second two are the two-step type, and the last two are slightly more challenging, to test you. (I have already attempted these questions)

1) Calculate the number of molecules in 1.058 mole of H2O
1.058 x Avogadro's number = 6.371 x 1023 molecules/mol

2) Calculate the number of atoms in 0.750 mole of Fe
0.750 x Avogadro's number = 4.52 x 1023 atoms/mol

3) Calculate the number of molecules in 1.058 gram of H2O
1.058g divided by 18g/mol = 0.059 mol
0.059 mol x Avogadro's number = 
molar mass is calculated by atomic mass of hydrogen x 2, as there are two atoms of hydrogen, + atomic mass of oxygen)

4) Calculate the number of atoms in 0.750 gram of Fe
0.750g divided by 55.85g/mol = 0.0134 mol
0.0134 x Avogadro's number =

5) Which contains more molecules: 10.0 grams of O2 or 50.0 grams of iodine, I2?
O2
10g divided by 31.9g/mol = 0.313 mol
0.313 x Avogadro's number =
I2
50g divided by 253.8g/mol = 0.197 mol
0.197 x Avogadro's number =
Therefore, ... contains more molecules.

6) A solution of ammonia and water contains 2.10 x 1025 water molecules and 8.10 x 1024 ammonia molecules. How many total hydrogen atoms are in this solution?
water = H20
ammonia = NH3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNITS
The unit on Avogadro's Number is mol¯1 and you would say "per mole" out loud. The question then is WHAT per mole?
The answer depends on the problem. In the first example, I used iron, an element. Almost all elements come in the form of individual atoms, so the correct numerator with most elements is "atoms", so mol¯1 atoms or atoms/mol.
So, doing the calculation and rounding off to three significant figures, we get 2.71 x 1023 mol¯1 atoms. Notice "atoms" never gets written until the end. It is assumed to be there in the case of elements. If you wrote Avogadro's Number with the unit atoms/mole in the problem, you would be correct.
The same type of discussion applies to substances which are molecular in nature, such as water. So the numerator I use here is "molecule" and the problem answer is 1.20 x 1023 molecules.

Once again, the numerator part of Avogadro's Number depends on what is in the problem. Other possible numerators include "formula units," ions, or electrons. These, of course, are all specific to a given problem. When a general word is used, the most common one is "entities," as in 6.022 x 1023 entities/mol.

MORE COMPLEX PROBLEMS 

Problem #7: How many atoms of chlorine are in 16.50 g of iron(III) chloride?
Solution:
1) Determine moles of FeCl3:
16.50 g / 162.204 g mol¯1 = 0.101723755 mol
2) Determine how many formula units of iron(III) chloride are in 0.1017 mol:
0.101723755 mol x 6.022 x 1023 = 6.1258 x 1022
3) Determine number of Cl atoms in 6.1258 x 1022 formula units of FeCl3:
6.1258 x 1022 x 3 = 1.838 x 1023 (to 4 sig fig)


Problem #8: How much does 100 million atoms of gold weigh?
Solution:
1) Determine moles of gold in 1.000 x 108 (we'll assume four sig figs):
1.000 x 108 atoms divided by 6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol = 1.660577881 x 10¯16 mol
2) Determine grams in 1.66 x 10¯16 mol of gold:
1.660577881 x 10¯16 mol times 196.97 g/mol = 3.271 x 10¯14 g (to four sig fig)

PRACTICE QUESTIONS 
(these were my summer homework, so I have attempted them)


1)       The mass of one proton is 1.6725 x 10-24 g.  Calculate the mass of one mole of 1H+ ions given that the Avogadro constant = 6.0225 x 1023.
6.0225x1023 x 1.6725 x 10-24 = 1.0073g

2)       The mass of one atom of 19F is 3.1546 x 10-23 g.  Use this and the Avogadro constant (6.0225 x 1023) to find the mass of one mole of 19F atoms.
6.0225x1023 x 3.1546x10-23= 18.999g

3)       The mass of one mole of 127I atoms is 126.9045 g.  Given that the Avogadro constant equals 6.0225 x 1023 and the mass of one electron equals 9.1091 x 10-28 g, calculate the mass of one mole of 127I- ions.
mass of 1 mole of 127I- ions + mass of one electron = 126.9045 g + (9.1091 x 10-28 g)(6.0225 x 1023)
= 126.905g

4)  a)  Calculate the Avogadro constant given that the mass of one mole of 12C atoms is 12.000 g while the mass of one 12C atom is 1.9925 x 10-23 g.
12/1.9925 x 10-23 g = 60225 x 10-23

     b)  The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 and not 12.000.  Explain this difference.
Carbon occurs in isotopes such as carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14, so the RAM is an average of these.

5)       Calculate the expected mass of one mole of a particles (4He2+ ions) given that the mass of one proton is 1.6725 x 10-24 g, the mass of one neutron is 1.6748 x 10-24 g and the Avogadro constant is 6.0225 x 1023.
one particle (4He2+ ions) = 2 neutrons and 2 protons
mass of 1 mole of particles = 6.0225 x 1023 x 2(1.6725 x 10-24 g + 1.6748 x 10-24 g) = 4.0138g

6)  a)  The mass of one mole of 27Al atoms is 26.9185 g.  Given that the Avogadro constant equals 6.0225 x 1023 and the mass of one electron equals 9.1091 x 10-28 g, calculate the mass of one mole of 27Al3+ ions.
27Al3+ ions have 3 less electrons than 27Al atoms
mass of 1 mole of 27Al3+ ions = mass of 27Al atoms - 3(mass of electron) = 26.9185 - (6.0225 x 1023 x 9.1091 x 10-28 x 3) = 26.9169g


     b)  Calculate the percentage difference between the mass of 27Al atoms and 27Al3+ ions, and use this to show why the mass of electrons are negligible in normal laboratory use of aluminium and other chemicals.
difference in mass = 26.9185 - 26.9169 = 0.0016g
percentage difference = 0.0016/26.9185 x 100 = 0.00597%
