Atomic Hook-Ups - Types of Chemical Bonds: Crash Course Chemistry #22
TLDRThis video explores the different types of chemical bonds that form between atoms and ions. It explains that atoms bond to achieve a lower energy state. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, either equally in nonpolar bonds or unequally in polar bonds. Ionic bonds form through the complete transfer of electrons from metal atoms to nonmetal atoms, resulting in charged ions that strongly attract. The summary describes how bond length, electronegativity, and polarity relate to bond type. It notes key differences in properties between ionic and covalent compounds based on their polarity.
Takeaways
- 😀 Chemical bonds form between atoms to minimize the overall energy and achieve a balance between attractive and repulsive forces.
- 👥 The distance between two bonded atoms at which the energy is lowest is called the bond length.
- 💑 A covalent bond involves sharing electrons between two atoms.
- ❤️ Nonpolar covalent bonds form between identical atoms that share electrons equally.
- 💔 Polar covalent bonds form between different atoms that share electrons unequally.
- 🔌 Ionic bonds form between a metal and nonmetal by complete transfer of electrons.
- ⚗️ Coulomb's law calculates the energy in ionic bonds using the charges and distance between ions.
- 🌡 Ionic compounds tend to form crystals while covalent compounds are often softer substances.
- 💧 Ionic compounds dissolve in water but covalent compounds often don't.
- ⚡ Dissolved ionic compounds conduct electricity but covalent compounds usually don't.
Q & A
Why do atoms bond with each other?
-Atoms bond with each other in order to reach their lowest energy state by achieving a balance between attractive and repulsive forces.
What is a covalent bond?
-A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more electron pairs between two atoms. The atoms are held together because the electron pair is attracted by the nuclei of both atoms.
What is the difference between a polar and non-polar covalent bond?
-In a non-polar covalent bond, the electrons are shared equally between the atoms. In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are shared unequally, resulting in slightly positive and negative charged areas on the atoms.
What is an ionic bond?
-An ionic bond is a chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges. One atom transfers one or more outer shell electrons to another atom, resulting in positive and negative ions which attract.
How can you calculate the energy in an ionic bond?
-The energy in an ionic bond can be calculated using Coulomb's law. The formula calculates the product of the charges on the ions divided by the distance between them.
Why are properties of ionic and covalent compounds different?
-Ionic compounds form crystalline solids that are often water soluble. Covalent compounds form softer solids, liquids or gases that are often not water soluble. This stems from differences in their molecular polarity.
What is bond length?
-Bond length is the ideal distance between two bonded nuclei where the attractive and repulsive forces between them are balanced resulting in minimum energy.
Why is water such an important molecule?
-Water is such an important molecule because it has polar covalent bonds. The uneven sharing of electrons makes one end of the molecule slightly positive and the other slightly negative.
What causes the separation of charges in a polar bond?
-The separation of charges in a polar bond is caused by the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms. The more electronegative atom pulls the shared electrons closer.
How are chemical bonds similar to human relationships?
-The video uses an analogy between human relationships and chemical bonds in terms of factors like distance, attraction, stresses and energy levels. Both seek to minimize energy/stress and find an optimal balance.

👨🔬 The Basics of Chemical Bonds
This paragraph introduces chemical bonds, explaining how atoms form bonds to reduce their overall energy and achieve stability. It discusses how atoms balance attractive and repulsive forces to settle at an ideal distance called the bond length. This introductory section also covers how shared electrons in covalent bonds occupy the space between two nuclei.
🧲 The Three Main Types of Chemical Bonds
This paragraph differentiates between the three main types of chemical bonds: non-polar covalent, polar covalent, and ionic. It explains how electronegativity differences determine bond polarity in covalent bonds. The paragraph also notes how metals readily form cations that bond ionically with anions from non-metals.
