another Covalent Bonding - two atoms each sharing electrons within a molecular orbital Metallic Bonding - positive metal ions held together in a lattice with a “sea of electrons” An actual chemical bond is a blend of all three types of bonding. Most often‚ one type is dominant over others. We will concentrate on ionic and covalent bonding. LEWIS STRUCTURES Only valence electrons are important in bonding. Lewis dot structures show valence electrons surrounding atom. We visualize the four valence orbitals

It is a secondary energy source which means that we get it from the conversion of other sources of energy‚ like coal‚ natural gas‚ oil‚ nuclear power and other natural sources‚ which are called primary

positively charged entity that contains randomly dispersed (negative) electrons within it. It is called the plum pudding model because the electrons in the positively charge cloud resemble raisins in a pudding. Thomson realized that all atoms must contain electrons‚ and since the atoms had a neutral charge‚ they must also include protons. This led him and other to think of the atom as a positively charged cloud with electrons randomly scattered in it. Rutherford later found this model to be false

between metals and nonmetals. Remember that metal atoms lose one or more valence electrons in order to achieve a stable electron arrangement. When a metal atom loses electrons it forms a positive ion or cation. When nonmetals react they gain one or more electrons to reach a stable electron arrangement. When a nonmetal atom gains one or more electrons it forms a negative ion or anion. The metal cations donate electrons to the nonmetal anions so they stick together in an ionic compound. This means

Chapter 1 * What is Chemistry? -it is the study of the composition of substances and the changes they undergo. * What are the 5 branches of chemistry? * Organic chemistry‚ inorganic chemistry‚ analytical chemistry‚ physical chemistry‚ biochemistry. * What is the difference between a theory and law? -a theory is a thoroughly tested explanation of why experiments give certain results. A scientific law is a concise statement that summarized the results of a broad spectrum of observations

protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons (as seen in the Helium atom below). Other particles exist as well‚ such as alpha and beta particles (which will be discussed later on). Most of an atom’s mass is in the nucleus‚ a small dense area at the center of every atom formed by nucleons. Nucleons are protons and neutrons. All of the positivity of an atom is contained in the nucleus‚ because the protons have a positive charge. Neutrons are neutral‚ meaning they have no charge. Electrons‚ which have a negative

GREAT DISCOVERIES CHANGE LIVES Do you like watching television? I love it. I do not know what would I do if televisions did not exist. It is interesting‚ in several years‚ they have become a huge part of our lives‚ our indispensables. J.J. Thomson was inspired by some scientists and he provided us the opportunity of having televisions in our lives. Also other scientists improved his thoughts and experiments which leaded to the invention of the television afterwards. It is not that simple of course

Since the ancient times‚ people like the Greeks were acknowledged of the existence of elements‚ but only knew of common ones like gold‚ tin‚ and copper. It wasn’t until the middle of the nineteenth century when about 50 elements were discovered and scientists began to wonder if the elements vary from each other or if a pattern is represented in the arrangement of the elements. A number of scientists tried different kinds of patterns. For example‚ the German scientist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner tried

or more elements are chemically combined. b) Chemical bonding involves either transferring or sharing electrons in the highest occupied energy levels (shells) of atoms in order to achieve the electronic structure of a noble gas. c) When atoms form chemical bonds by transferring electrons‚ they form ions. Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions. Atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged ions. Ions have the electronic structure of a noble gas (Group 0). d) The elements

nucleus contains positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. The electron cloud is composed of negatively charged electrons. Elements in the same row are similar in size. Elements in the same column have similar electronic and chemical properties. An s orbital has a sphere of electron density and is lower in energy than the other orbitals of the same shell. A p orbital has a dumbbell shape and contains a node of electron density at the nucleus. It is higher in energy than an s orbital.
