International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists

This is a global organization that sets the standards in chemistry.

One job of the IUPAC is to give compounds SYSTEMIC NAMES.

IUPAC

Bohr diagrams, also called ENERGY LEVEL DIAGRAMS, are a means of drawing atoms in a 2-D manner.

Keep in mind that atoms are actually 3-D, and there are more complex representations of atoms.

Bohr models always include the NUCLEUS and the ELECTRON ENERGY LEVELS of an atom.

BOHR DIAGRAMS FOR ATOMS

There are 3 types of SUBATOMIC PARTICLES found in the atom:

PROTONS (p+)◦ Positively charged particles with a significant mass◦ Atomic Number = Number of Protons

ELECTRONS (e-)◦ Negatively charged particles with an insignificant mass◦ Number of Electrons = Number of Protons

NEUTRONS (no)◦ Neutral particles with a significant mass◦ Number of neutrons = Atomic Mass – Atomic Number

BOHR DIAGRAMS . . .

NUCLEUS◦Center of the atom, contains protons and

neutrons◦The atomic mass is concentrated here

ELECTRON ENERGY LEVELS◦Particular areas around the nucleus where

electrons are likely to be found◦Electrons DO NOT exist BETWEEN energy

levels◦ 3 LEVELS:

FIRST LEVEL (Closest to Nucleus) 2 e- SECOND LEVEL 8 e- THIRD LEVEL (Outermost) 8 e-

BOHR DIAGRAMS . . .

VALENCE LEVEL◦DEFINITION: Outermost energy level of an atom

◦Electrons in this level are called VALENCE ELECTRONS

◦Atoms with FULL valence shells are STABLE, meaning they will not bond with other atoms in normal conditions.

◦The atoms of Group 18, the Noble Gases, have full valence levels.

◦Atoms that do not have full electron energy levels are unstable and must GAIN, LOSE, or SHARE electrons to become stable.

BOHR DIAGRAMS . . .

ATOMIC NUMBER◦ Located in the top of each element box

on the periodic table.◦ ATOMIC NUMBER = # OF PROTONS

ATOMIC MASS (MOLAR MASS)◦ Located in the bottom of each element box on the

periodic table.◦ Round it off for calculations.◦ ATOMIC MASS = # OF PROTONS + # OF

NEUTRONS

and mass number.◦ Write the name of the atom in

the bottom of the square.◦ Include protons and neutrons

in the nucleus of the atom.◦ Write electrons in the energy

levels outside the nucleus.

CHEMICAL BONDS◦DEFINITION: A force of attraction between atoms.

◦There are 2 TYPES of Chemical bonds Covalent Ionic

TYPES OF CHEMICAL BONDS

COVALENT BONDS◦AKA: molecular bonds◦“co” – together/sharing , “valent” – outer shell

◦DEFINITION: A SHARING of ELECTRONS between 2 atoms BETWEEN a two or more NONMETALS

◦Solutions of covalently bonded substances are NON-ELECTROLYTIC.

TYPES OF CHEMICAL BONDS

IONIC BOND◦DEFINITION: A TRANSFER of ELECTRONS between two atoms

BETWEEN a METAL and a NONMETAL◦Solutions of ionic bonded substances are ELECTROLYTIC.

COMPOUNDS consist of atoms or ions of two or more elements bonded together.

TYPES OF CHEMICAL BONDS

Forms when 2 or more NONMETALS share electrons in COVALENT BONDS.

2 TYPES:◦BINARY Molecular Compounds◦TRIVIAL NAME Molecular Compounds

MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS

Also called SIMPLE molecular compounds.

Binary Molecular Compounds use IUPAC prefixes:◦We will write these prefixes in the following

table.

BINARY MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS

Number Prefix1 mono2 di3 tri4 tetra5 penta6 hexa7 hepta8 octa9 nona

10 deca

RULES:

1. Write NAMES of elements, with the 2nd element ending in “-ide”.

2. Add PREFIXES to indicate HOW MANY ATOMS of each element.

3. Do NOT use the prefix “mono” for the 1st element, only with the 2nd element.

Given Molecular Formula, Write Name

N2O4________________________

P2O5 ________________________

CCl4 ________________________

Given Formula, Write Name EXAMPLE

RULES:

1. Write ELEMENT SYMBOLS for each element in the compound.

2. Use the PREFIX in the name to determine NUMBER OF ATOMS, and write that number as a SUBSCRIPT next to the symbol (no subscript for 1 atom).

GIVEN MOLECULAR NAME, WRITE FORMULA

Given Name, Write Formula EXAMPLE

Also called COMMON NAME molecular compounds.

There are SOME molecular compounds that go by their COMMON NAMES, and we must memorize these names.

HOMEWORK ALERT!!!

IONS◦RECALL: AS mentioned earlier, atoms other than the

NOBLE GASES are unstable, and need to GAIN, LOSE, or SHARE ELECTRONS to become more stable.

If they SHARE electrons, this forms a COVALENT BOND to another atom.

If they LOSE or GAIN electrons, atoms become IONS and form IONIC BONDS with other atoms.

OCTET RULE◦Atoms that have an octet of valence electrons are STABLE and UNREACTIVE.

Ions are charged atoms that have lost or gained electrons to achieve the valence configurations of a noble gas.

TWO TYPES:◦CATIONS: POSITIVE ions that are formed from a LOSS of

electrons. It has more PROTONS than ELECTRONS and

therefore has a net POSITIVE charge. METALS form cations. MEMORY TOOL: t in “cation” resembles a “+” sign

EXAMPLE: lithium ion Li+ 1+ charge

WHAT IS AN ION?

◦ANIONS: NEGATIVE ions that are formed from a GAIN

of electrons. It has more ELECTRONS than PROTONS and

therefore has a net NEGATIVE charge. change the ending of the name of anions to -ide

NONMETALS form anions. MEMORY TOOL: A Negative ION EXAMPLE: fluoride ion F- 1- charge LINK

METALS◦ ATOMS of METALS will LOSE electrons to become CATIONS.◦ ATOMS with 1, 2, or 3 VALENCE electrons will LOSE these electrons to

form 1+, 2+, or 3+ ions respectively.

◦GROUP 1 ATOMS – ALKALI 1 valence electrons(s) (will lose 1 to become stable) 1 + ion

◦GROUP 2 ATOMS – ALKALINE EARTH 2 valence electrons(s) (will lose 2 to become stable) 2 + ion

◦GROUP 13 ATOMS 3 valence electrons(s) (will lose 3 to become stable) 3 + ion

BOHR DIAGRAMS FOR IONS

NONMETALS◦ ATOMS of NONMETALS will GAIN electrons to become ANIONS.◦ ATOMS with 5,6, or 7 VALENCE electrons will GAIN these electrons to form 3-, 2-, or 1- ions

respectively.

◦ GROUP 15 ATOMS 5 valence electrons(s) (will gain 3 to become stable) 3 - ion

◦ GROUP 16 ATOMS 6 valence electrons(s) (will gain 2 to become stable) 2 - ion

◦ GROUP 17 ATOMS - HALOGENS 7 valence electrons(s) (will gain 1 to become stable) 1 - ion

◦ GROUP 18 ATOMS - NOBLE GASES FULL outer valence levels

BOHR DIAGRAMS FOR IONS

Note that in BOHR DIAGRAMS for IONS, electron numbers have changed.

Here is a quick equation for calculating the number of electrons:

# e- = #p+ - charge

Do a few examples of each page in class so that when you go home, you know what you are doing!!!

HOMEWORK!!!

Form when at least 1 METAL AND 1 NONMETAL transfer electrons in an IONIC BOND.

Metals will become CATIONS and LOSE electrons and nonmetals will become ANIONS and GAIN electrons.

These ions, with opposite charges, attract and form IONIC BONDS.

Unlike covalent bonds, these bonds are not “ACTUAL BONDS,” but forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.

They stay together in a CRYSTAL LATTICE.
