Same disclaimer as usual, refer to previous posts. You should read up on the experiments in this chapter since I'll not cover them here. Maybe next time.
Development of the Periodical Table (Paper 1):
Antoine Lavoiser
- classify elements into four groups
- inaccurate - light and heat included
Johann W. Dobereiner
- groups of three called triads
- did not apply to most of other elements
John Newlands
- increasing nucleon number - law of octaves
- only accurate for first 17 elements
- no positions allocated for elements yet to be discovered
Lothar Meyer
- similar chemical properties - volume of atoms of elements
- properties of elements recur periodically
Dmitri Mendeleev
- increasing atomic mass
- gaps for undiscovered elements
Henry Moseley
- increasing proton number/atomic number
- predicted the existence of undiscovered elements

Explanations:
(Note that covalent compounds experience Van der Waals' forces of attraction (VW). )
Group 18
1. Melting point & boiling point (m.p & b.p)
* From He to Ra, m.p & b.p increases.
- proton number increases
- distance from nucleus to electrovalence increases
- radius increases
- size increases
- VW increases
- more energy needed to weaken VW
- m.p & b.p increases
2. Density
* From He to Ra, density increases.
- similar as m.p & b.p (follow the colour)
Group 1
1. Atomic size
* Increases from Li to Fr
- proton number increases
- orbital number increases
- distance from nucleus to outer shell increases
- size increases
2. m.p & b.p
* Decreases from Li to Fr
- similar
- forces of attraction in metals are getting weaker
- less energy is used to weaken the attraction
- m.p & b.p decreases
3. Reactivity
* Increases from Li to Fr
- similar
- attraction decreases
- Group 1 has 1 electron valence
- easier to let go of electron in outer shell
- reactivity increases
Group 17
1. Atomic Size
* Increases from F to At
- proton number increases
- distance from nucleus to electrovalence increases
- radius increases
- size increases
2. Density
* Increases from F to At
- same as above
3. Melting point and boiling point (m.p + b.p)
* Increases from F to At
- same as above
- Van der Waals' forces of attraction (VW) increases
- more energy is needed to weaken VW
- m.p + b.p increases
4. Reactivity
* Decreases from F to At
- proton number increases
- distance from nucleus to outer shell is further
- forces of attraction is weaker
- reactivity decreases
5. Electronegativity
* Decreases from F to At
- the most reactive is the most electronegative (Fl)
Period 3 Elements
1. Atomic Size
* Decreases from left to right
The atomic size does
not increase as we move from the left to the right of the periodical table. (This is a common error made by students.)
- proton number increases
- forces of attraction increases
- this pulls the external shell of electrons closer to the nucleus, making the size of the atom smaller.
2. m.p + b.p
* Metal > Gas
- Metals have a stronger bond between atoms - more heat needed to break the bonds
- Gases have a weaker bond between atoms - less heat needed compared to metals
3. Density
* Decreases from left to right
- Metals - atoms are arranged closely to each other (atomic radius increases) making it more dense
- Gases - atoms move around freely due to a weak VW, making it less dense compared to metals

Form 4 Chapter 5 - Chemical Bonds
Form 4 Chapter 5 - Chemical Bonds
A relatively short chapter, usually asked in Paper 2 Section B/C.
Definitions:
Ionic compound - Chemical compound formed by the process of releasing and gaining electrons between metals and non-metals.
Covalent compound - Chemical compound formed by the sharing of electrons by a non-metal with a non-metal.
Ionic bond - A strong bond formed when positive ions and negative ions are attracted by the electrostatic forces.
Covalent bond - A weak bond formed when electrons are attracted by the Van der Waals' forces.
How to answer questions about...
Formation of ionic compounds:
- list the electron configuration
- electron valence
- needs to gain/lose electron to form an octet structure
- atom will donate/take electrons to form an octet structure
- valence electron of atom is X, so atom needs to gain/lose electrons to form an octet structure
- when Y atom loses/gains X electrons, it will form an ion in the charge of +/- X (Repeat for other element)
- the + ion and the - ion charge are attracted to each other and form an electrostatic forces
- this will form an ionic bond between ions and form Z (name the compound)
- draw the diagram
Formation of covalent compounds:
- list the electron configuration
- each X atom needs Y electrons to form an octet structure
- non-metal - each X atom will share Y pair of electrons with another X atom
- this will form a Van der Waals' force and later a single/double covalent bond
- draw the diagram
Properties of ionic compounds:
- dissolves in water (not all)
- does not dissolve in organic solvent
- conducts electricity in molten or aqueous solution
--> in ionic compounds, when in molten or aqueous solution, all ions are moving freely, hence it conducts electricity.
- all ionic compounds have a very high m.p & b.p
--> when +ve and -ve charge attracts each other, this forms a strong bond (electrostatic forces)
--> in an ionic compound there is a strong electrostatic force between the +ve and -ve ions
--> a lot of heat and energy is needed to weaken the forces
Properties of covalent compounds:
- dissolves in organic solvent
- does not dissolve in water
- all covalent compounds have a very low m.p & b.p
--> in covalent compounds, there is a very weak VdW force between +ve and -ve ions
--> little heat and energy is needed to weaken the forces
- all covalent compounds do not conduct electricity in any state
--> in covalent compounds no ions exist because all covalent compounds are molecules
That ends the short but important chapter. Chemical Bonding for SPM Form 4 Chemistry
Covalent bond is the second type of chemical bonds that
. Covalent bonds occurs when electrons are shared between atoms, rather than a complete transfer of electrons in ionic bonding. Typically, covalent bonds occur for non-metals when they bind together due to similar tendency for electrons (usually to gain electrons in the syllabus). When
non-metals gain electrons, they will share electrons in order to fill up their valence shell, with one of the simplest example being the abundant hydrogen gas. Now that you know that covalent bonding is usually with non-metals and it is different from ionic bonding.
This Part 3 focuses on covalent bonds (definition), non-metals (and how they can form covalent bonds)
, covalent compound formula prediction,
structure of covalent compounds and some tips on covalent bonding. So take note of the notes from Part 2 (Ionic bonding) and try to find parallels from it. This way you’ll better learn the two tips of bonds.
[
Tips:
In event that you forget how covalent bond works, think of the humble and simplest hydrogen gas. Why is it a good example, because it is easy to remember. As hydrogen atom (H) each has one valence electron in their first electron shell, they will 'prefer' to have a second electron to fill up the first electron shell. If you remember, the first electron shell has a capacity of 2 electrons. When the first H atom wants a second electron, another H atom also wants the same thing. As such, both hydrogen atoms will come together (or in chemistry, we call it 'react') to form H2, a gas compound. Thus, both atoms now 'enjoy' the stability afforded by full valence shell. So take out your pencil and draw the concept of covalent bonding a few times with the hydrogen atoms.]
Molecules
Covalent Bonds
- It is a chemical bond formed from the sharing of valence electrons between non-metal atoms to achieve the stable duplet of octet electron arrangement.
- Each shared pair of electrons is as one covalent bond.
- It produces molecules.
- Usually the covalent bonds form between non-metal atoms from Group 15, 16 and 17 and sometimes can be formed from Group 14 (carbon and silicon) and hydrogen.
- Covalent bond can be formed from atoms of the same element and atoms of different elements.
Example:
Non-metal | + | Non-metal | –> | Covalent compound |
Bromine | + | bromine | –> | Bromine (Br2) |
Nitrogen | + | nitrogen | –> | Nitrogen (N2) |
Carbon | + | chlorine | –> | Tetrachloromethane (CCl4) |
Hydrogen | + | oxygen | –> | Water (H2O) |
Hydrogen | + | nitrogen | –> | Ammonia (NH3) |
Types of covalent bond formed:
- Single bond = one pair of electrons shared between two atoms.
- Double bond = two pair of electrons shared between two atoms.
- Triple bond = three pair of electrons shared between two atoms.
Non-metal
Group 15
- A nitrogen atom with an electron arrangement of 2.5 needs three more electrons to achieve stable octet electron arrangement after it contribute (through sharing) three valence electrons to another atom (can be from Group 14, 15, 16, 17).
- A phosphorus atom with an electron arrangement of 2.8.5 need three more electrons to achieve stable octet electron arrangement after it contribute (through sharing) three valence electrons to another atom (can be from Group 14, 15, 16, 17).
Group 16
- An oxygen atom with an electron arrangement of 2.6 needs two more electrons to achieve stable octet electron arrangement after it contribute (through sharing) two valence electrons to another atom (can be from Group 14, 15, 16, 17).
- A sulphur atom with an electron arrangement of 2.8.6 need two more electrons to achieve stable octet electron arrangement after it contribute (through sharing) two valence electrons to another atom (can be from Group 14, 15, 16, 17).
Group 17
- A fluorine atom with an electron arrangement of 2.7 needs one more electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement after it contribute (through sharing) one valence electron to another atom (can be from Group 14, 15, 16, 17).
- A chlorine atom with an electron arrangement of 2.8.7 need one more electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement after it contribute (through sharing) one valence electron to another atom (can be from Group 14, 15, 16, 17).
Predict the Formula of a Covalent Compound
- Non-metal X atom (valence electron is a)
- Combine with another non-metal Y atom (valence electron is b)
- b = simplest ratio (n) and a = simplest ratio (m)
- Formula of a covalent compound formed, XnYm
Example:
The electron arrangement of atom X is 2.8.6 and atom Y has four valence electrons. Which of the following is the formula of the compound formed between X and Y?
(A) Y
4X
(B) Y
2X
(C) YX
(D) YX
2
Solution:
- X has 6 valence electrons, it needs to share 2 electrons to achieve the stable octet electron arrangement.
- Y has 4 valence electrons, it needs to share 4 electrons to achieve the stable octet electron arrangement.
- Therefore, the formula of the covalent compound is X4Y2 = Y2X4 = simplest ratio YX2.

Structure of covalent compounds
- Can be simple molecular structure or giant molecular structure.

Berry Important Notes:
In the diagram of ionic compound, always shows
- The outermost shells of all atoms must achieve a stable duplet or octet electron arrangement through sharing.
- The outermost shells of each atom must overlap.
- Label all atoms clearly.
