Chemical Bonding
Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:
- appreciate what a mole of substance is
- convert between mass and moles and between moles and mass
- work out the percentage yield in a chemical reaction by identifying the limiting reagent and the theoretical yield
- use experimentally determined percentage composition to work out the empirical formula
- use the ideal gas law to relate the number of moles, pressure, volume and temperature of a gas using the common units of pressure (atm, Pa and mmHg), volume (mL, L and m3) and the appropriate value of the gas constant, R
- explain the characteristics of ionic, metallic and covalent bonding
- draw out plausible Lewis structures for simple polyatomic molecules
- assign bond orders based on sharing of electron pairs and resonance structures
- identify single, double and triple bonds and the σ and π-components of these bonds
