Review of General Chemistry Chemical Bonding
Types of Bonds Types of Atoms metals to nonmetals nonmetals to nonmetals metals to metals Type of Bond Ionic Covalent Metallic Bond Characteristic electrons transferred electrons shared electrons pooled
Types of Bonding
Covalent Bonds Nonmetal atoms have relatively high ionization energies. It is difficult to remove electrons from them. When nonmetals bond together, it is better in terms of potential energy for the atoms to share valence electrons.
Lewis Bonding Theory Emphasizes valence electrons to explain bonding Lewis structures - Electron Dot Structures Lewis structures allow us to predict many properties of molecules - molecular stability, shape, size, polarity
Dot Structures Emphasize Valence Electrons The column number on the Periodic Table will tell you how many valence electrons a main group atom has. We represent the valence electrons of main-group elements as dots surrounding the symbol for the element. We use the symbol of element to represent nucleus and inner electrons. We use dots around the symbol to represent valence electrons. IA VIIIA IIA III A IVA VA VIA VIIA e Li Be B C N F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar
Lewis Structures
Lewis Bonding Theory Atoms bond because it results in a more stable electron configuration. (lower potential energy) Atoms bond together by either transferring or sharing electrons. Usually this results in all atoms obtaining an outer shell with eight electrons (octet rule) There are some exceptions to this rule.
Common bonding patterns: Lewis Structures Be = 2 bonds & 0 lone pairs B = 3 bonds & 0 lone pairs C = 4 bonds & 0 lone pairs N = 3 bonds & 1 lone pair = 2 bonds & 2 lone pairs and halogens = 1 bond Be B C N F Structures that result in bonding patterns different from the common may have formal charges.
Single Covalent Bonds When two atoms share one pair of electrons it is called a single covalent bond (2 electrons) ne atom may use more than one single bond to fulfill its octet F F F F F F
Multiple Covalent Bonds N N N N When two atoms share two pairs of electrons the result is called a double covalent bond (four electrons) When two atoms share three pairs of electrons the result is called a triple covalent bond (six electrons)
Drawing Lewis structures of molecules 1. Write skeletal structure 2. Count valence electrons 3. Attach atoms together with pairs of electrons, and subtract from the total 4. Complete octets, outside-to-inside 5. Give extra electrons to the central atom 6. If central atom does not have octet, bring in electrons from outside atoms to share

Formal Charges
Formal Charge During bonding, atoms may end with more or fewer electrons than the valence electrons they brought in order to fulfill octets. This results in atoms having a formal charge. FC = (#valence e ) (#nonbonding e ) (½ #bonding e ) Sum of all the formal charges in a molecule = 0 Sum of all the formal charges in an ion = ionic charge
Writing Lewis Formulas of Molecules Assign formal charges to the atoms (fc = valence e lone pair e ½ bonding e ) N N For, fc = 1-0-½(2) = 0 For, fc = 6-4-½(4) = 0 For N, fc = 5-0-½(8) = +1 For, fc = 6-4-½(4) = 0 For, fc = 6-6-½(2) = -1

Polar Covalent Bonds
Polar Covalent Bonding Unequal sharing of the electrons 1) ne atom pulls the electrons in the bond closer to its side 2) ne end of the bond has higher electron density than the other The result is a polar covalent bond Bond polarity is indicated by (δ-) and (δ+)
Bond Polarity Most bonds have some degree of sharing and some degree of ion formation to them. Bonds are classified as covalent if the amount of electron transfer is insufficient for the material to display the classic properties of ionic compounds. If the sharing is unequal enough to produce a dipole in the bond, the bond is classified as polar covalent.
Electronegativity The ability of an atom to attract bonding electrons to itself Increases across period ( ) Decreases down group( ) 1) Fluorine is the most electronegative element. 2) Francium is the least electronegative element. 3) Noble gas atoms are not assigned values. 4) This is opposite to the trend in atomic size.
Electronegativity Scale
Electronegativity Difference ( EN) and Bond Classification The larger the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond. EN Bond Classification 0 pure covalent 0.1-0.4 nonpolar covalent 0.5-1.9 polar covalent >2.0 ionic
