What Is Covered in Topic 3 Chemical Bonding?

Topic 3 Chemical Bonding is a core component of the Cambridge AS & A Level Chemistry 9701 syllabus. The AS Level syllabus covers ionic bonding, covalent bonding, metallic bonding, electronegativity and bond polarity, VSEPR theory and molecular shapes, and intermolecular forces. This comprehensive unit plan covers all essential concepts including:

Ionic Bonding – Understanding ionic bonding as the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. Describing the formation of ionic bonds between metals and non-metals. Drawing dot-and-cross diagrams for ionic compounds. Understanding the structure of giant ionic lattices and the properties of ionic compounds.
Covalent Bonding – Understanding covalent bonding as the electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms. Drawing dot-and-cross diagrams for covalent molecules. Understanding single, double, and triple covalent bonds. Describing the structure of simple molecular and giant covalent structures (diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide) and their properties.
Coordinate (Dative Covalent) Bonding – Understanding coordinate (dative covalent) bonding as a covalent bond in which both electrons in the shared pair come from one atom. Drawing dot-and-cross diagrams for compounds containing dative covalent bonds. Describing the formation of dative covalent bonds in species such as NH₄⁺, H₃O⁺, and Al₂Cl₆.
Metallic Bonding – Understanding metallic bonding as the electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons. Describing the structure of metallic lattices and the properties of metals (electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, malleability, ductility).
Electronegativity and Bond Polarity – Defining electronegativity as the power of an atom to attract the electron density in a covalent bond. Explaining the factors influencing electronegativity (nuclear charge, atomic radius, shielding). Using the Pauling electronegativity scale to predict bond polarity. Distinguishing between polar and non-polar bonds.
VSEPR Theory and Molecular Shapes – Understanding the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory. Predicting molecular shapes and bond angles for molecules and ions with up to six electron pairs (including lone pairs). Understanding the effect of lone pair–lone pair repulsion on molecular shape (NH₃ and H₂O). Describing the shapes of molecules including linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, bent, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.
Intermolecular Forces – Understanding the three types of intermolecular forces: instantaneous dipole–induced dipole (London/dispersion) forces, permanent dipole–permanent dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding. Explaining the relative strengths of these forces. Describing hydrogen bonding in water and its anomalous properties (high boiling point, density of ice).
Bond Polarity and Molecular Polarity – Understanding the difference between polar bonds and polar molecules. Determining whether a molecule is polar or non-polar based on its shape and bond polarity.
Structure and Property Relationships – Linking the structure and bonding of substances to their physical properties. Explaining the trends in melting and boiling points, electrical conductivity, and solubility.
