Q & A

What is chemical bonding?

Chemical bonding occurs when atoms of different elements come together and undergo a chemical change, forming a new product with different properties compared to the starting reactants.

Can you give an example of chemical bonding?

An example of chemical bonding is the combination of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) to form water (H2O), a compound with different properties from the individual gases.

What is the difference between a compound and a molecule?

A compound is formed when atoms of two or more different elements bond chemically, such as H2O or CO2. A molecule, on the other hand, is formed when two or more atoms of the same element bond, such as O2 or N2.

What is a diatomic molecule, and can you provide an example?

A diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element bonded together. Examples include oxygen gas (O2), nitrogen gas (N2), and hydrogen gas (H2).

Why do atoms bond with each other?

Atoms bond with each other to achieve a noble gas structure, which makes them stable. They tend to bond in ways that fill their outer energy levels or orbitals, leading to greater stability.

What is ionic bonding?

Ionic bonding occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom (usually a metal) to another atom (usually a non-metal), resulting in the formation of oppositely charged ions that attract each other, such as sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-).

What is covalent bonding?

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, typically between non-metals. This type of bonding results in the formation of molecules or compounds, such as H2O or HCl.

What is the purpose of Lewis Dot Diagrams?

Lewis Dot Diagrams are visual representations that show how atoms bond by illustrating the sharing or transferring of valence electrons in covalent and ionic bonds.

How do you differentiate between metals and non-metals on the periodic table?

Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table, while non-metals, along with hydrogen, are located on the right side. Hydrogen, although on the left, is a non-metal.

What are valence electrons, and why are they important in bonding?

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are crucial in bonding because they are the electrons that are either shared in covalent bonds or transferred in ionic bonds.

🔗 Covalent Bonds and Lewis Dot Diagrams

Miss Martins introduces covalent bonding, which involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. She contrasts it with ionic bonding, which involves electron transfer. She presents Lewis Dot Diagrams as visual representations of how atoms bond, highlighting the difference between covalent and ionic bonds. Using an example of hydrogen and chlorine sharing electrons, she reinforces the concept of covalent bonds, while reviewing how sodium and chlorine transfer electrons in ionic bonding. The importance of distinguishing between the two types of bonds is stressed for further lessons.

⚛️ Types of Chemical Bonding: Covalent, Ionic, and Metallic

Here, Miss Martins summarizes the three main types of chemical bonding: covalent (electron sharing), ionic (electron transfer), and metallic (delocalized electrons in metals). She focuses on covalent and ionic bonds for this video, explaining that covalent bonds occur between non-metals, while ionic bonds occur between metals and non-metals. She uses the periodic table to demonstrate how to identify metals and non-metals and gives examples of common compounds like H2O (covalent) and magnesium fluoride (ionic).

Keywords

💡Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding refers to the process where atoms of different elements come together to form compounds through chemical reactions. In the video, it is explained that chemical bonding results in the formation of new substances with properties distinct from the original elements, such as when hydrogen and oxygen form water (H2O).

💡Atoms

Atoms are the basic units of matter, made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. In the video, atoms are the starting point for chemical bonding, and different types of atoms combine to form compounds. For example, hydrogen and oxygen atoms combine to form water.

💡Ionic Bonding

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, typically between a metal and a non-metal, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions. In the video, an example of ionic bonding is provided with sodium (Na) transferring an electron to chlorine (Cl), forming Na+ and Cl- ions.

💡Covalent Bonding

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between atoms, usually between non-metals. This type of bonding forms molecules where the atoms share electrons to achieve stable outer energy levels. In the video, examples include hydrogen and chlorine sharing electrons to form HCl.

💡Valence Electrons

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom and are involved in chemical bonding. The video explains that these electrons can be shared or transferred during bonding, depending on whether the bond is covalent or ionic. The number of valence electrons is key to determining how atoms bond.

💡Lewis Dot Diagrams

Lewis Dot Diagrams are visual representations of atoms and their valence electrons, used to depict bonding between atoms. The video mentions that these diagrams will be covered in greater detail in future lessons but introduces them as tools to visualize both covalent and ionic bonds.

hello great dudes and welcome back to

another video with me Miss Martins today

we're going to be looking at chemical

bonding we're going to be doing a very

short introduction if you'd like to see

more of these videos please please

comment below let me know what it is

that you want to see and don't forget to

give this one a thumbs up and subscribe

for more maths and science videos

so what is chemical bonding and why does

it happen when chemical bonding occurs a

chemical change takes place we have

atoms of certain elements different

elements coming together and when they

chemically Bond when that chemical

process that chemical change happens

they form a new product with different

properties relative to the starting

reactants so what I mean for example is

we can have hydrogen

which is a gas H2 hydrogen gas plus

oxygen

those can bond to form

H2O water which we drink which we need

in order to survive right so that is

basically chemical bonding and yeah

you'll see the definition says atoms of

two or more different elements come

together and chemically bond to form a

compound so H2O or water for example

let's think of another one carbon

dioxide that is a compound sulfur

dioxide maybe potassium nitrate these

are all compounds these are atoms of two

or more different elements and when they

bond they form a compound now this is

slightly different to what we call a

molecule just slightly different

terminology when two or more atoms of

the same element when they bond they can

form a molecule I'm sure you've heard of

diatomic molecules such as oxygen gas

now here's a little rhyme have no fear

of ice cold I don't know beer I guess so

H2 is hydrogen into its nitrogen

fluorine oxygen iodine this is chlorine

and bromine these are two or more atoms

of the same element so for example

nitrogen is an a nitrogen atom and a

nitrogen atom two or more atoms from the

same element okay they form a molecule

just remember that now if we look at how

bonding happens can take place in many

different ways but before we get there

why does bonding happen what is the

purpose why Bond

essentially atoms want a noble gas

structure they want to be stable they

want full orbitals full outer energy

levels that's the goal they tend towards

the more stable noble gas structures and

the way that they achieve this goal is

that they bond

now I thought that this is really really

cute see if you can look at this and

make sense of it this over here is in a

plus that is a sodium ion it's a

positive iron a cat iron and this is CL

minus it's a chloride ion and anion a

negative ion and you'll see what it says

over here the little sodium ion is

saying baby I got my ion U ion and they

say opposites attract so this is a

little example of ionic bonding as you

can see here it says my ion ion now

remember we spoke about cations cations

are positive they're the positive ions

positive and anions onions are negative

they make you cry anions and these are

opposites so then they attract and they

bond because of this this is ionic but

there's another type of bonding that you

need to know and you need to be familiar

with and that's called covalent bonding

let's have a quick look at the

difference in terms of how we draw the

Lewis Dot diagrams

now what you see on the screen I don't

want you to panic these are Lewis Dot

diagrams these basically visual

representations of two atoms when they

bond but you can see the difference

above me over here this represents a

covalent bond now this involves the

sharing of electrons between two or more

atoms to form a molecule or a compound

so over here you can see that the

hydrogen and the chlorine are sharing

electrons

this one over here so this was the

example of the picture that I just

showed you this is an example of an

ionic bond which involves the transfer

of electrons if we look at that little

picture again we can see that the sodium

ion over here is giving something to the

chloride ion basically what happens is

the sodium ion gives the chloride ion an

electron you can see here the sodium ion

has an extra electron the reason why

will become clear soon gives an electron

to the chloride ion and that transfer of

electrons causes our sodium ion to get a

positive charge a chloride ion to get a

negative charge and then they attract

they bond this is ionic now these Lewis

Dot diagrams and how to draw them we

will cover that in the next video but

it's very important to notice the

difference and to understand the

difference

so I've summarized the three types of

chemical bonding or intramolecular

forces intra-molecular means within the

molecule intra is within so bonds are

within or inside the molecule these are

the three types that we will be going

over covalent

is the sharing of electrons like I

showed you in the previous slide and

then we've got ionic which is the

transfer of electrons so electron given

from a metal to a non-metal the transfer

that's ionic and then metallic and that

is essentially within the metal it's

when metal positive nuclei the atoms

okay of the metal they share electrons

delocalize electrons I will show you

that in a future video but for now we're

going to focus on these top two which is

you need to be able to draw the Lewis

Dot diagrams for these another very

important thing is that you need to know

that covalent bonding

takes place between a non-metal and a

non-metal

ionic bonding is between a metal and a

non-metal okay now you might be thinking

Hmm I forgot how to tell the difference

how do I know which on metal and which

are non-metal

if we look at the periodic table over

here on the left hand side we have our

Metals Except for hydrogen so you see

I've circled hydrogen hydrogen is not a

metal so metals on the left hand side

non-metals as well as hydrogen on the

right hand side over there right

so now we know if we have two non-metals

so for example a hydrogen and we have a

chlorine that is a covalent bond H2O

again covalent bond they share electrons

ionic would be between a metal on the

one side of the periodic table non-metal

on the other side so for example

magnesium and fluorine

we'll get some metallic later

the last thing that's very important to

know before we get into Lewis Dot

diagrams is that it is our valence

electrons that are involved in bonding

and you should remember that valence

electrons those are the electrons in the

outer orbitals so the outer energy

levels those are our valence electrons

the electrons on the outside now how do

we know very quickly what our number of

valence electrons are for each of our

different atoms well if we look at our

periodic table we can see the Roman

group numerals so you can see here on

the top of every group we have Roman

numerals so that's number one then we've

got two then we skip this middle part we

have three four five and so on those

Roman group numerals indicate the number

of valence electrons so for example if I

ask you how many valence electrons

oxygen has you'll look at the Roman

group numeral and you'll tell me that

oxygen has six

valence electrons which means six

electrons in its outer energy level

the reason why this is important is it

it's because it's these electrons the

valence electrons that are shared if

it's a covalent bond or transferred if

it's an ionic bond

this is if you want to be really fancy

and really know that you understand we

can also use off bile diagrams which is

what you see over here or SP notations

to check valence electrons if you don't

know how to draw up our diagrams or do

sp notations you're going to watch want

to watch my video on that which I will

link for you

but over here we can see that in

hydrogen's outer energy level which is

energy level one it has one electron you

see it's not full

so that means it has one valence

electron helium on the other hand has a

full outer energy level which is why it

is a noble gas okay it's not going to

want to bond

if we look at sodium for example we can

see that sodium's outer energy level

which is energy level 3 is not full it

has one electron in it so therefore

sodium has one valence electron so let

me just show you if you don't know how

to do this remember you're gonna have to

watch my video on Alpha diagrams and SP

notations energy level one is full

energy level 2 is full energy level

three not full at all it has one

electron therefore sodium has one

valence electron and it makes sense

because if we take a look at our at our

periodic table we can see a sodium if

you look at sodium

sodium it's over there

has one valence electron now remember to

keep that in mind for the next video

when I show you how to do Lewis Dot

diagrams for covalent bonding

so this is the goal for the next video
