6.1 Ions: Transfer of Electrons Learning Goal Write the symbols for the simple ions of the representative elements.

Ionic and Covalent Bonds Chemical bonds are formed when atoms lose, gain, or share valence electrons to completely fill their outermost electron shell. Ionic bonds occur when valence electrons of a metal atom are transferred to the atom of a nonmetal. Covalent bonds occur when nonmetal atoms share electrons to attain a noble gas arrangement.

Ionic and Covalent Bonds

Positive Ions: Metals Lose Electrons In ionic bonding, ions form when atoms gain or lose their valence electrons to form a stable electron configuration. Metals: have low ionization energies. readily lose one or more of their valence electrons to form ions with a positive charge. lose electrons until they have the same number of valence electrons as the nearest noble gas, usually eight valence electrons.

Positive Ions: Loss of Electrons When sodium atoms in Group 1 are neutral, they have 11 electrons and 11 protons. They lose one electron to have the same number of valence electrons as neon and a filled energy level. They will form an ion with 10 electrons, 11 protons, and an ionic charge of 1+: Na +.

Positive Ions: Loss of Electrons When magnesium atoms in Group 2 are neutral, they have 12 electrons and 12 protons. They will lose 2 electrons to have the same number of valence electrons as neon and a filled energy level. They form an ion with 10 electrons, 12 protons, with an ionic charge of 2+: Mg 2+.

Negative Ions: Nonmetals Gain Electrons Nonmetals Have high ionization energies readily gain one or more valence electrons to form ions with a negative charge. gain electrons until they have the same number of valence electrons as the nearest noble gas, usually eight valence electrons.

Negative Ions: Gain of Electrons When chlorine atoms in Group 17 are neutral, they have 17 electrons and 17 protons. They will gain one electron to have the same number of valence electrons as argon. They form an ion with 18 electrons, 17 protons, and a charge of 1 : Cl.

6.6 Lewis Structures for Molecules and Polyatomic Ions Learning Goal: Draw the Lewis structures for molecular compounds or polyatomic ions.

The Simplest Molecule, H 2 When two H atoms are far apart, they feel no attraction or repulsion to each other. As they approach each other, the electron on one H is attracted to the proton (nucleus) of the other. And vice versa. The attraction is stronger than the repulsion between the two electrons. A covalent bond forms from each H sharing its electron with the other, creating the molecule: H 2. Each H acts as if it has 2 electrons. This gives it the electron configuration of He and therefore is very stable.

The Octet Rule Atoms are the most stable when they have the electron configuration of a noble gas. For H and He, that s 2 electrons For n=2 and n=3 (Li through Ar) that is 8 electrons (n=4 etc is higher. We won t worry about that now.) The Octet Rule: Most atoms want to have 8 valence electrons. Exceptions: H, He (2 valence electrons) B (can only have 6) n=3 can have more than 8 due to access to the 3d orbital.

Lewis Structures, Molecules A molecule is represented by a Lewis structure in which the valence electrons of all the atoms are arranged to give octets. The shared electrons, or bonding pairs, are shown as two dots or a single line between atoms. The nonbonding pairs, or lone pairs, are placed on the outside of the atoms.

Lewis Structures, Molecules A molecule is represented by a Lewis structure in which the valence electrons of all the atoms are arranged to give octets.

Elements, Diatomic Molecules The elements hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine exist as diatomic molecules.

Number of bonds The number of electrons a nonmetal atom shares and the number of covalent bonds it forms are equal to the number of electrons it needs to achieve a stable electron configuration. # of bonds = 8 number of valence e s

6.7 Electronegativity and Bond Polarity Learning Goal: Use electronegativity to determine the polarity of a bond.

Electronegativity The electronegativity of an atom is its ability to attract the shared electrons in a bond.

Electronegativity When the atoms in the bond are different, the more electronegative atom will hog the shared electrons in the covalent bond. The electrons will spend more time near the more electronegative atom.

Polarity of Bonds Differences in electronegativity of atoms dictate what kind of bond forms between the atoms. ΔEN = 0 ΔEN = between 0 and 2 ΔEN 2 a polar covalent bond a nonpolar covalent bond an ionic bond

Nonpolar Covalent Bonds A nonpolar covalent bond occurs between nonmetals. It is an equal sharing of electrons by the two bonding atoms. ΔEN = 0 a nonpolar covalent General, Organic, bondand Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e ΔEN = between 0 and 2 a polar covalent bond

Polar Covalent Bonds A polar covalent bond occurs between nonmetal atoms. It is an unequal sharing of electrons. has a moderate electronegativity difference. Electronegativity Atoms Difference Type of Bond O-Cl 3.5 3.0 = 0.5 Polar covalent Cl-C 3.0 2.5 = 0.5 Polar covalent O-S 3.5 2.5 = 1.0 Polar covalent ΔEN = 0 a nonpolar covalent General, Organic, bondand Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e ΔEN = between 0 and 2 a polar covalent bond

Dipoles and Bond Polarity A polar covalent bond becomes more polar as the difference in electronegativity increases. The separation of charges in a polar bond is called a dipole. The positive and negative ends of the dipole are located by using the lowercase Greek letter delta with a positive or negative charge. an arrow that points from the positive to the negative end of the dipole.

Ionic Bonds An ionic bond occurs between metal and nonmetal ions. is a result of electron transfer. has a large electronegativity difference (2.0 or more). Electronegativity Atoms Difference Type of Bond Cl-K 3.0 0.8 = 2.2 Ionic N-Na 3.0 0.9 = 2.1 Ionic ΔEN = 0 a nonpolar covalent General, Organic, bondand Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e ΔEN = between 0 and 2 a polar covalent bond

6.8 Shapes and Polarity of Molecules Learning Goal: Predict the three-dimensional structure of a molecule, and classify it as polar or nonpolar.

VSEPR Theory Valence Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) describes the orientation of electron groups around the central atom. states that electron groups are arranged as far apart as possible around the central atom. states that the specific shape of a molecule is determined by the number of atoms attached to the central atom.

Linear (2 bond locations) In a molecule of CO 2 two electron groups are placed around the central atom, carbon. the repulsion is minimized by placing the two groups on opposite sides of the carbon atom, giving this a linear arrangement with bond angles of 180. the shape with two electron groups around the central atom is linear.

Triganol Planar (3 bond locations) In a molecule of formaldehyde, H 2 CO 3, three electron groups are placed around the central atom, carbon. the repulsion is minimized by placing the three groups as far apart as possible at bond angles of 120. the shape with three electron groups around the central atom is trigonal planar.

Bent (2 bond locals + 1 electron pair) In a molecule of SO 2, there are three electron groups around the central atom S: The repulsion is minimized by placing the three electron groups as far apart as possible. The shape with two bonds and a lone pair on the central atom is bent with a bond angle of 120.

Tetrahedral (4 bond locations) In a molecule of CH 4 four electron groups are attached to H atoms around the central atom, carbon. the repulsion is minimized by placing the four electron groups at corners of a tetrahedron with bond angles of 109. the shape with four bonds on the central atom is called tetrahedral.

Trigonal Pyrimidal (3 bond locals + 1 electron pair) In a molecule of NH 3 four electron groups, three bonds to H atoms and one lone pair, are around the central atom, N. the repulsion is minimized by placing the four electron groups at corners of a tetrahedron with bond angles of 109. the shape with three bonds and a lone pair on the central atom is called trigonal pyrimidal.

Bent (type 2) (2 bond locals + 2 e- pairs) In a molecule of H 2 O four electron groups, two bonds to H atoms and two lone pairs, are around the central atom, O. the repulsion is minimized by placing the four electron groups at corners of a tetrahedron with bond angles of 109. the shape with two bonds and two lone pairs on the central atom is called bent.

Polarity of Molecules Nonpolar molecules such as H 2, Cl 2, and O 2 are nonpolar because they contain nonpolar bonds. Polar bonds can be nonpolar if the polar bonds (dipoles) cancel in a symmetrical arrangement, such as in CO 2 and CF 4.

Polarity of Molecules Polar molecules such as HCl are polar because one end of the molecule is more negatively charged than the other. the polar bonds in the molecule do not cancel each other. the electrons are shared unequally in the polar covalent bond.

In a polar molecule such as H 2 O, there are two lone pairs and two bonds around the central atom. are dipoles that do not cancel since the shape is bent, making the molecule positive at one end and negative at the other end. is a partial negative charge on the central atom.

Attractive Forces Intramolecular forces: attractive forces between atoms within compounds Polar covalent bonds Nonpolar covalent bonds Ionic bonds Intermolecular forces: attractive forces between different molecules. London dispersion forces Dipole-dipole interactions Hydrogen bonds

London dispersion Forces London dispersion forces are weak attractions between nonpolar molecules. caused by temporary dipoles that develop when molecules bump into each other. weak but make it possible for nonpolar molecules to form liquids and solids.

Dipole-dipole interactions Dipole-dipole interactions are Attractions between polar molecules.

Hydrogen Bonds Hydrogen bonds are the strongest intermolecular attraction. occur between hydrogen atoms bonded to F, O, or N, and a lone pair on F, O, or N.

Comparison of Bonding and Attractive Forces

Melting Points and Attractive Forces Melting points of compounds are related to the strength of attractive forces between molecules or compounds. are lower due to weak forces such as dispersion forces. are higher due to stronger attractive forces such as hydrogen bonding. are highest in ionic compounds due to the strong attractive forces between ions in the compound.
