Chapter 6 Why do atoms react? Recall the chemical properties of the noble gases they are extremely unreactive What do they have in common that could be the cause of this lack of reactivity? Examination of their electron configurations reveals that the noble gases either have 1. an outermost electron energy level that is completely filled with electrons (He = 2 e- in the 1st energy level, Ne = 8 e- in the 2 nd energy level)
Chapter 6 Why do atoms react? Completely filled valence energy level 8 valence electrons OR: 2. 8 electrons in the outermost energy level (8 valence e-)
Chapter 6 Why do atoms react? It is this arrangement of electrons that imparts stability to the noble gases All other elements react in order to achieve the same electron configuration as their nearest noble gas neighbor (8 valence e- = octet rule) Atoms can gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve the same electronic structure as their nearest noble gas neighbor
6.1 Ions: Transfer of Electrons Atoms form positively charged ions when they lose electrons and negatively charged ions when they gain electrons. Ionic bonds are formed by the strong attractive forces between positive and negative ions. 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 acquire an octet of eight valence electrons (octet rule). 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.

6.7 Electronegativity and Bond Polarity The electronegativity values of representative elements in Group 1A (1) to Group 7A (17). 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. It increases from left to right going across a period on the periodic table. increases from the bottom to the top of the periodic table. is high for the nonmetals, with fluorine as the highest. is low for the metals. Core Chemistry Skill Using Electronegativity
Electronegativity and the Periodic Table
Polarity of Bonds The difference in electronegativity of bonding atoms can be used to predict the polarity of the bond. In the H 2 molecule, electrons are shared equally and the bond is nonpolar. In the HCl molecule, electrons are shared unequally, and the bond is polar.
Nonpolar Covalent Bonds A nonpolar covalent bond occurs between nonmetals. It is an equal or almost equal sharing of electrons by the two bonding atoms. has a very small electronegativity difference between atoms. Examples Electronegativity Atoms Difference Type of Bond N-N 3.0 3.0 = 0.0 Nonpolar covalent Cl-Br 3.0 2.8 = 0.2 Nonpolar covalent H-Si 2.1 1.8 = 0.3 Nonpolar covalent
Polar Covalent Bonds A polar covalent bond occurs between nonmetal atoms. It is an unequal sharing of electrons. has a moderate electronegativity difference. Examples 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
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 (1.8 or more). Examples Electronegativity Atoms Difference Type of Bond Cl-K 3.0 0.8 = 2.2 Ionic N-Na 3.0 0.9 = 2.1 Ionic S-Cs 2.5 0.7 = 1.8 Ionic
Variations in Bonding The difference in electronegativity values for two atoms can be used to predict the type of chemical bond. If the electronegativity difference is between 0 and 0.4, the bond is nonpolar covalent. between 0.5 and 1.8, the bond is polar covalent. greater than 1.8, the bond is ionic and the electrons are considered transferred.

6.9 Attractive Forces in Compounds The protein shape is stabilized by attractive forces between functional groups of side chains (R groups) on the amino acids, causing it to twist and bend into a specific three-dimensional shape. Learning Goal Describe the attractive forces between ions, polar covalent molecules, and nonpolar covalent molecules.
Dipole-Dipole, Hydrogen Bonds In covalent compounds, polar molecules exert attractive forces called dipole-dipole attractions. form strong dipole attractions called hydrogen bonds between hydrogen atoms bonded to F, O, or N, and a lone pair on F, O, or N. Hydrogen bonds are the strongest force between molecules and play a major role in the shape of DNA. Core Chemistry Skill Identifying Attractive Forces
Dispersion Forces 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.
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.

Chemistry Link to Health: Attractive Forces, Proteins The primary structure of a protein is its sequence of amino acids. It is the sequence of amino acids that determines the protein s function. Amino acids in a protein are linked by a peptide bond between the COO of one amino acid and the NH 3 + of the next amino acid.
Chemistry Link to Health: Attractive Forces, Proteins Proteins have a higher level of structure that is determined by the attractive forces between the amino acids. When hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen atom in an N H group and the oxygen of the C O group, the protein forms an alpha helix. H-bonds can form between the OH of serine and the NH 2 of asparagine.
