1 Hydrogen and Chlorine Covalent Bonding H Cl

1) Hydrogen and Chlorine: Covalent Bonding: H Cl or H-Cl Sharing electrons 2) Hydrogen & hydrogen. (Single covalent bond) 3) Fluorine & fluorine. 4) Nitrogen & hydrogen. 5) Carbon & hydrogen. H + Cl

Covalent Bonding: The Octet Rule in Covalent Bonding In covalent bonds, electron sharing usually occurs so that atoms attain the electron configurations of noble gases. The pair of shared electrons forming the covalent bond is also often represented as a dash, as in H—H for hydrogen (structural formula )

Covalent Bonding: Represent the formation of the chemical bond between the following atoms (Lewis dot structure): 1)Oxygen and oxygen: O + O 2) Nitrogen & nitrogen. O O or O=O Two pairs of electrons shared (Double covalent bond)

2) Nitrogen & nitrogen: N + N N N or N N Three pairs of electrons shared (Triple covalent bond) A double covalent bond is a bond that involves two shared pairs of electrons. Similarly, a bond formed by sharing three pairs of electrons is a triple covalent bond.

Using electron-dots structure represent the following molecules: 1) CO 2 2) C 2 H 4 3) C 2 H 2

Bond Polarity: How do electronegativity values determine the charge distribution in a polar bond? Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc. , or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.

Bond Polarity The bonding pairs of electrons in covalent bonds are pulled between the nuclei of the atoms sharing the electrons. • The nuclei of atoms pull on the shared electrons, much as the knot in the rope is pulled toward opposing sides in a tug-of-war.

Bond Polarity A polar covalent bond, known also as a polar bond, is a covalent bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared unequally. The more electronegative atom attracts more strongly and gains a slightly negative charge. The less electronegative atom has a slightly positive charge. δ+ δ– Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc. , or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. H—Cl

Bond Polarity – When the atoms in the bond pull equally (as occurs when identical atoms are bonded), the bonding electrons are shared equally, and each bond formed is a nonpolar covalent bond. H-H Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc. , or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved. Br-Br O=O

Bond Polarity The electronegativity difference between two atoms tells you what kind of bond is likely to form. Electronegativity Differences and Bond Types Electronegativity Most probable type of bond difference range Example 0. 0 – 0. 4 Nonpolar covalent H—H (0. 0) 0. 4 – 1. 0 Moderately polar covalent δ+ δ– H—Cl (0. 9) 1. 0 – 1. 5 >1. 5 Very polar covalent Ionic (if a metal is present) δ+ δ– H—F (1. 9) ≥ 1. 5 Ionic Na+Cl– (2. 1) Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc. , or its affiliates.

Describing Polar Covalent Molecules: – In a polar molecule, one end of the molecule is slightly negative, and the other end is slightly positive. δ+ δ- – A molecule that has two poles is called a dipolar molecule, or dipole.

The effect of polar bonds on the polarity of an entire molecule depends on the shape of the molecule and the orientation of the polar bonds. • A carbon dioxide molecule has two polar bonds, it is linear. O C O Therefore, the molecule is nonpolar. Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc. , or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.

The water molecule also has two polar bonds. • However, the water molecule is bent rather than linear. • Therefore, the bond polarities do not cancel and a water molecule is polar. Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc. , or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.

Intermolecular attractions: Intermolecular attractions are weaker than either ionic or covalent bonds. Molecules can be attracted to each other by a variety of different forces: 1) The weakest attractions between molecules are called Van der Waals forces (London dispersion forces). Can be found between nonpolar molecules as O 2(g), H 2(g), Cl 2(g), CO 2(g). Copyright © Pearson Education, Inc. , or its affiliates. All Rights Reserved.

2) Dipole interactions occur when polar molecules are attracted to one another. Ex. HCl(g), HBr(g). _ ++= + ------- + ++= _ These interactions are stronger than Van der Waals, but much weaker than ionic bonds.

3) Hydrogen Bonds: Are attractive forces in which a hydrogen covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom (F, O, N) is also weakly bonded to an unshared electron pair of another electronegative atom. O Hδ+ O δ- Hδ+ Hδ+ δ- Hδ+ Hydrogen bonding always involves hydrogen.

• Hydrogen bonds are the strongest of the intermolecular forces. • They are extremely important in determining the properties of water and biological molecules. Ex: Water is liquid at room temperature because the hydrogen bond between its molecules. H 2 O H 2 Se Boiling Points 100 o. C - 60 o. C - 2. 2 o. C

Van der Waals (the weakest) Intermolecular attraction forces (weaker than ionic & covalent bonds) Nonpolar molecules Dipole-dipole (stronger than ) Polar molecules Hydrogen bonds (the strongest) Molecules containing F-H; O-H or N-H

Properties of Molecular Compounds: 1) Weak attraction forces between molecules. 2) Low melting and boiling points. 3) Gases, liquids or solids at room temperature. 4) The solids are very soft. 5) Poor conductors of electricity. 6) Polar covalent: Show solubility in water. Ex. HCl(g), NH 3(g) No polar covalent: Show solubility in non polar solvents (CCl 4, oil, gasoline, acetone, etc. ) Examples: Cl 2(g), Br 2(l), CCl 4(l).

Covalent Network Solids: A network solid or covalent network solid is a chemical compound in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material diamond graphite Examples: Quartz or Silica (Si. O 2 silicon dioxide), diamond & graphite (made by carbon).

Covalent Network Solids: Properties: 1) Brittle & extremely hard solids. 2) Very high melting points. 3) Non conductors (heat or electricity), except graphite (good conductor)
