Chapters 3 & 4 Chemical Bonding

Octet Rule • Octet Rule: the tendency for atoms to seek 8 electrons in their outer shells – Natural electron configuration of the Noble Gases – Done by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons – Increases stability – H and He seek a “Duet”

Ionic Bonding • Ions: atoms that have a charge due to gain or loss of electrons – Anion: (-) charged atom – added electron(s) – Cation: (+) charged atom – lost electron(s) • Ionic Bond: a bond formed through the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom or group of atoms to another atom or group of atoms

Formula Unit



Ionic Compounds: compounds composed of oppositely charged ions that are held together by their attraction to each other • Metal + Non-metal – Na. Cl • Metal + Polyatomic Ion – Na. NO 3 • Polyatomic Ion + Non-metal – NH 4 Cl • Polyatomic Ion + Polyatomic Ion – NH 4 NO 3 • Net charge on compound equal to zero

Octet Rule or Duet or H-H

Making Lewis Dot Structures 1) Count the total number of valence electrons in the molecule. Ex: PCl 3 2) Use atomic symbols to draw a proposed structure with shared pairs of electrons • Pick a central atom – atom that wants to make the most bonds • Atoms don’t tend to bond to other atoms of the same element when they can avoid it • Exception: Carbon

3) Place lone pair electrons around each outside atom (except H) to satisfy the octet rule, beginning with the terminal atoms 4) Place any leftover electrons on the central atom 5) If the number of electrons around the central atom is less than 8, change single bonds to the central atom to multiple bonds (double or triple). • Ex: CH 2 O

Covalence chart Atom H C or Si P or N O or S F, Cl, Br, or I B Covalence number 1 4 3 2 1 3 Non bonding electrons 0 0 1 2 3 0

What Certain Atoms Like To Do • Halogens – Like to have one single bond and 3 lone pairs (non-bonding electrons) – F, Cl, Br, I • Carbon – Likes to have 4 single bonds and no lone pairs • A double bond counts as two singles • A triple bond counts as three singles – Likes to be central – Likes to bond to other carbons

• Silicon – Likes to do what carbon does • Oxygen – Likes to have two single bonds and 2 lone pairs • Sulfur – Likes to do what oxygen does – May expand its octet • Nitrogen – Likes to have 3 single bonds and one lone pair

• Phosphorous – Likes to do what nitrogen does – May expand its octet • Hydrogen – Likes to be terminal with only one single bond – No lone pairs! • Boron – Likes 3 bonds and no lone pairs (sextet)

Electronegativity • The measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself – Increases across period (left to right) and – Decreases down group (top to bottom) – fluorine is the most electronegative element – francium is the least electronegative element


Electronegativity Scale

Types of Bonding 1) Non-Polar Covalent Bond: • • • Difference in electronegativity values of atoms is 0. 0 – 0. 4 Electrons in molecule are equally shared Examples: Cl 2, H 2, CH 4 ENCl = 3. 0 - 3. 0 = 0 Pure Covalent

2) Polar Covalent Bond: • • Difference in electronegativity values of atoms is 0. 4 – 2. 0 Electrons in the molecule are not equally shared • • • The atom with the higher EN value pulls the electron cloud towards itself Partial charges Examples: HCl, Cl. F, NO ENCl = 3. 0 ENH = 2. 1 3. 0 – 2. 1 = 0. 9 Polar Covalent

3) Ionic Bond: • • • Difference in EN above 2. 0 Complete transfer of electron(s) Whole charges ENCl = 3. 0 ENNa = 1. 0 3. 0 – 0. 9 = 2. 1 Ionic


Problems • Predict the type of bonding in the following compounds using differences in EN values of the atoms. Indicate the direction of the dipole moment if applicable 1) KBr 2) HF 3) Br. I 4) FI


Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory • VSEPR theory: – Electrons repel each other – Electrons arrange in a molecule themselves so as to be as far apart as possible • Minimize repulsion • Determines molecular geometry






Defining Molecular Shape • Electron pair geometry: the geometrical arrangement of electron groups around a central atom – Atoms and lone pairs count as electron groups • Molecular Geometry: the geometrical arrangement of atoms around a central atom – Ignore lone pair electrons

• 2 e- groups surrounding the central atom – e- pair geometry: linear – MG: linear – AXE designation: AX 2 E 0 • A: Central Atom • X: Bonding pairs • E: Non-bonding pairs – Example: Be. Cl 2, CO 2

3 e groups • 3 Bonds, 0 Lone Pairs – e- PG: Trigonal Planar (Triangular planar) – MG: Trigonal Planar – AX 3 E 0 – BF 3 • 2 Bonds, 1 Lone Pair – e- PG: Trigonal Planar (Triangular planar) – MG: Bent/angular – AX 2 E 1 – Ge. Cl 2

4 e- groups • 4 bonds, 0 Lone Pairs – – e- PG: Tetrahedral MG: Tetrahedral AX 4 E 0 CH 4 • 3 bonds, 1 Lone Pair – – e- PG: Tetrahedral MG: Triangular Pyramidal AX 3 E 1 NH 3

• 2 bonds, 2 Lone Pairs – e- PG: Tetrahedral – MG: Bent/Angular – AX 2 E 2 – H 2 O
