Types of chemical bonds

Bond: Force that holds groups of two or more atoms together and makes the atoms function as a unit.
Example: H-O-H

Bond Energy: Energy required to break a bond. Ionic Bond: Attractions between oppositely charged ions. Example: Na+ Cl-

Types of chemical bonds

Ionic Compound: A compound resulting from a positive ion (usually a metal) combining with a negative ion (usually a non-metal). Example: M+ + X- MX Covalent Bond: Electrons are shared by nuclei. Example: H-H Polar Covalent Bond: Unequal sharing of electrons by nuclei. Example: H-F Hydrogen fluoride is an example of a molecule that has bond polarity.

Lewis structures
Lewis Structure: Representation of a molecule that shows how the valence electrons are arranged among the atoms in the molecule. Bonding involves the valence electrons of atoms. Example: Na H-H

Lewis structures of elements

Dots around elemental symbol

Symbolize valence electrons

Thus, one must know valence electron configuration

Lewis Structures of molecules

Single Bond: Two atoms sharing one electron pair. Example: H2
Double Bond: Two atoms sharing two pairs of electrons. Example: O2 Triple Bond: Two atoms sharing three pairs of electrons. Example: N2 Resonance Structures: More than one Lewis Structure can be drawn for a molecule. Example: O3

Rules for Lewis structures of molecules

1.
2.

1. Become two shared electrons

1. Called a bond

Write out valence electrons for each atom Connect lone electrons because lone electrons are destabilizing
Check to see if octet rule is satisfied
1.

3.

1. Recall electron configuration resembling noble gas

In other words, there must be 8 electrons (bonded or non-bonded) around atom
1. Non-bonded electron-pair 1. Called lone pair

Third period and higher elements can do this

E.g., Al, Si, P, S, Cl, As, Br, Xe, etc. d-orbitals can accommodate extra electrons

Electronegativity
Electronegativity: The relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself.
Example: Fluorine has the highest electronegativity. Similar electronegativities between elements give nonpolar covalent bonds (0.0-0.4) Different electronegativities between elements give polar covalent bonds (0.5-1.9) If the difference between the electronegativities of two elements is about 2.0 or greater, the bond is ionic

Electronegativity
Example For each of the following pairs of bonds, choose the bond that will be more polar. Al-P vs. Al-N C-O vs. C-S

Dipole moment

Dipole Moment A molecule that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge Will line up on electric field In Debye units 1 D = 3.34 x 10-30 C m

Examples

F2 CO2 H2O NH3 BF3 CCl4

Molecular polarity

Net-dipole moment leads to molecular polarity Thus the following two that have netdipole moments are polar:
H2O NH3

Molecular structure
Molecular Structure: or geometric structure refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms in a molecule. Bond Angle: The angle formed between two bonds in a molecule.

Molecular structure: VSEPR

The VSEPR Model: The valence shell electron pair repulsion model is useful for predicting the molecular structures of molecules formed from nonmetals. The structure around a given atom is determined by minimizing repulsions between electron pairs.
The bonding and nonbonding electron pairs (lone pairs) around a given atom are positioned as far apart as possible.

Molecular Structure: VSEPR

Steps for Predicting Molecular Structure Using the VSEPR Model 1. Draw the Lewis structure for the molecule. 2. Count the electron pairs and arrange them in the way that minimizes repulsion (that is, put the lone pairs as far apart as possible). 3. Determine the positions of the atoms from the way the electron pairs are shared. 4. Determine the name of the molecular structure from the positions of the atoms.
