Chapter 5, Atoms Bonding and the Periodic table

Alloys are generally stronger and less reactive than the pure metals from which they are made.

Alloys are generally what?

reactivity increases from top to bottom

Among Groups 1 and 2, _____________________

No.

Are all molecules containing polar bonds polar?

Yes. Within each crystal, the metal atoms exist as closely packed, positively charged ions. The valence electrons drift among the ions.

Are most metals crystalline solids?

Atoms of the inert gases have 8 valence electrons, except for helium which has two) are stable.

Are the elements in Group 18 stable?

losing their one valence electron

Atoms of the alkali metals which is in group 1 have only one valence electron. what do the atoms do to become chemically stable?

very reactive

Because alkali metals lose thier valence electrons to become chemically stable, what does this make them?

The halogens need a gain of just one more electron that gives these atoms the stable number of 8 valence electrons. As a result, the halogens react easily with other elements whose atoms can give up or share electrons.

Because of the elements in group 17 have 7 valence electrons, what do they need to become stable?

Compared to ionic compounds, molecular compounds generally have ower melting points and boiling points. And unlike ionic compounds, molecular compounds do not conduct electric current when melted or dissolved in water.

Compare the properties of molecular compounds to ionic compounds

Covalent bonds usually form between atoms of nonmetals.

Covalent bonds usually form what?

yes. As a result, the electrons are share unequally.

Do atoms of some elements pull more strongly on shared electrons than do atoms of other elements?

No this is because no charged particles are available to move, so there is no current.

Do most molecular compounds conduct electric current? and why?

yes

Does the pattern formed by the ions remains the same no matter what the size of the crystal?

In carbon dioxide, the oxygen atoms attrct electrons much more strongly than carbon does. So, the bonds between the oxygen and carbon atoms are polar. A carbon dioxide molecule has a straight-line shape. As a result, the 2 oxygen atoms pull with equal strength in opposite directions. The attractions cancel out making the molecule nonpolar.

Explain a carbond dioxide molecule.

A water molecule with its two polar bonds is itself polar. A water molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms at one end and an oxygen atom at the other end. The oxygen atom attracts electrons more strongly than do the hydrogen atoms. As a result, the oxygen end has a slight negative charge and the hydrogen end has a slight positibe charge.

Explain a water molecule

In molecular solids, forces hold the molecules close to one another. But the forces between molecules are much weaker than the forces between ions in an ionic sold. Compared with ionic solds, less heat must be added to molecules solids to separate the molecules and chang the solid to a liquid. That is why most familiar compounds that are liquid or gases at room temperature are molecular compounds.

Explain the forces in the molecular solids

The properties of solid metals and their alloys can be explained by the structure of metal atoms and the bonding between those atoms.

Inert gases are unlikely to transfer electrons to other atoms. As a result, inert gases do not react easily with other elements.

Why are in the elements in Group 18 stable?

It is due to the strength of their ionic bonds and the attractions amont all the ions.

Why are many crystals of ionic compounds are hard and brittle?

Because the metal ions move easily, this means that they can be bent easily and pulled into thin strands of wires.

Why are metals ductile?

The ions in the solid crystal are tightly bound to each other and cannot move from place to place. If charged particles cannot move, there is no current.

Why do ions in the solid crystal do not urrent well?

Metals act this way because the positive ions are attracted to the loose electrons all around them rather than to other metal ions. However, the metallic bonds between the ion and the surrounding electrons keep the metal from breaking.

Why do metals act this way?

Their valence electrons are not strongly held.

Why do metals lost electrons easily?

because of differences in attractions between their molecules.

Why do the properties of polar and nonpolar compounds differ?

Why ionic crystals have high melting points?

It is places there because it has only one valence electron. However, hydrogen is not considered a metal. It is a reactive element, but its properties differ greatly from those of the alkali metals.

Why is hydrogen located above group 1?

This is because one end of a detergent molecule has nonpolar covalent bonds. The other end includes an ionic bond. The detergent's nonpolar end mixes easily with the oil. Meanwhile, the charged ionic end is attracted to polar water molecules, so the detergent dissolves in water.

soidum has 1 valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. When sodium's valence electron is transferred to chlorine, both atoms become ions. The sodium becomes a positive ion (Na+).
