Chemical Bonds Chemical bond A force that holds atoms together in a molecule or compound Two types of chemical bonds Ionic Bonds Covalent Bonds Figure 8.2 8-4 Ionic Bond A bond created by electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions Occurs between a metal and a nonmetal Electrons transferred between the cation (positively charged ion) and the anion (negatively charged ion) Extremely strong bonds 8-5 Figure 8.2 or another molecule picture Covalent Bonds A bond created by the sharing of electrons between atoms Occurs between two nonmetals (resulting in a neutral overall charge) Electrons not transferred in this case Electrons shared in pairs typically Weaker bonds than ionic bonds 8-6 2

Polar vs. onpolar (Figure 8.4) Bonds Ionic Covalent Polar onpolar Complete Transfer of Electrons Increasing electron transfer o Transfer of Electrons o Sharing of Electrons Increasing equality of sharing Equal Sharing of Electrons 8-10 Polar vs. onpolar Polar covalent bonds are: Typically shorter bonds Stronger bonds due to their increased ionic character onpolar covalent bonds are: Typically longer bonds Weaker bonds Polarity Occurs in polar covalent molecules Polarity is the degree of transfer of electrons in a covalently bonded molecule composed of different element s atoms. 8-11 Electronegativity Ability of an atom to attract bonding electrons Proposed by Linus Pauling in the early 1930 s A difference in electronegativity between the atoms in a covalent bond results in: A polar covalent bond Increased ionic character The greater the difference in electronegativity, the greater the ionic character and the more polar the bond that joins the atoms. Decreased bond length and increased bond strength o difference in electronegativity between atoms in a covalent bond results in a nonpolar covalent bond. 8-12 4

Metals lose electrons, forming a positive charge, to become cations. Each element immediately preceding a noble gas is a nonmetal. onmetals gain electrons, forming a negative charge, to become anions. Therefore, elements (main-group) either lose or gain electrons to become isoelectronic with a noble gas (i.e. have the same electron configuration). 8-17 Ionic Bonding 8-18 6

Structures of Ionic Crystals Crystal lattice The pattern obtained when an ion, represented as a charged sphere, exerts a force equally in all directions. Thus, ions of equal and opposite charge surround it. Cations and anions must come into contact for a crystal lattice to form. Figure 8.10 8-22 Structures of Ionic Crystals Ionic crystal Ions are arranged in a regular geometric pattern that maximizes the attractive forces and minimizes the repulsive forces. Hard and brittle Can shatter if struck forcefully The charges and sizes of ions largely determine the characteristic patterns of ionic crystals 8-23 Structures of Ionic Crystals 8-24 8
Octet Rule Octet rule Tendency of an atom to achieve an electron configuration having 8 valence electrons Same as the electron configuration of a noble gas Covalently bonded atoms achieve 8 valence electrons by sharing electrons The 8 electrons exist in 4 pairs H reacts to obtain a total of 2 electrons like He. 8-25 Covalent Bonding Single covalent bond A covalent bond that consists of a pair of electrons shared by two atoms Each atom contributes one electron to the bond The orbitals overlap to allow the electron pair to be located around both atoms Lewis formula The atoms are shown separately and the valence electrons are represented by dots Figure 8.14 8-26 Covalent Bonding Multiple covalent bonds Covalent bonds that consist of more than one pair of electrons shared by two atoms Double bond Sharing of two pairs of electrons (4 electrons total) In Lewis Dot structures, a double bond is represented by 4 dots or 2 parallel lines.

Use electron dot structures to describe the bonding in this compound. Lewis Symbols for nitrogen and fluorine. F F F F F F F F F F 8-29 Steps for Writing Lewis Dot Structures 1. Write an atomic skeleton. The arrangement of atoms is usually symmetrical. In a molecule of two different elements, the one with the greater number of atoms usually surrounds the one with the lesser number of atoms. The central atom, the one surrounded by the other atoms, tends to be the one that is less electronegative and is present in the least quantity. This atom usually forms the greater number of bonds and is found further toward the bottom left side of the periodic table. Hydrogen atoms are generally on the outside of the molecule. The chemical formula may give clues about the arrangement of atoms. 8-30 10
Steps for Writing Lewis Dot Structures (Cont d) 2. Sum the valence electrons from each atom to get the total number of valence electrons. 3. Place two electrons, a single bond, between each pair of bonded atoms. 4. If you have not placed all the valence electrons in the formula, add any remaining electrons as unshared electron pairs, consistent with the octet rule. Add pairs of electrons first to complete the octet of atoms surrounding the central atom. Then add any remaining electrons in pairs to the central atom. 8-31 Steps for Writing Lewis Dot Structures (Cont d) 5. If necessary to satisfy the octet rule, shift unshared electrons from nonbonded position on atoms with completed octets to positions between atoms to make double or triple bonds. 8-32 Writing Lewis Dot Structures Write a Lewis formula for the formaldehyde, CH 2 O, molecule.

Odors and Carbon Compounds 8-49 Shapes of Molecules The relative locations of electron pairs around a central atom play a large role in determining a molecule s 3-D shape. egatively charged electrons repel one another, so electron pairs in different orbitals stay as far apart as possible. 8-50 Shapes of Molecules Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory The tendency of electron pairs to adjust the orientation of their orbitals to maximize the distance between them The bonded atoms and unshared pairs are arranged around the central atom as far apart as possible Bond angle A shape is characterized by a bond angle between the central atom and the atoms bonded to it 8-51 17
