Chemical Bonding & Molecular Geometry Unit 12 Chemical Bonding & Molecular Geometry

Definitions Chemical Bonds Force that holds atoms together It’s all about the electrons (e-) Electrons are attracted to positively charged nucleus of other atom

Types of Chemical Bonds Ionic Bond Bond between metal and nonmetal due to “electrostatic interactions” Attraction between positively and negatively charged ions (cations and anions) Electrons are transferred from metal to nonmetal

Ionic bonds Result from a Transfer of Valence Electrons + -

Types of Chemical Bonds Covalent Bonds Bonds in which e- are shared Most common type

Shared Electrons Complete Shells F F

Types of Chemical Bonds Metallic Bonds Atoms are bonded to one another (not to other elements) Positive ions in a “sea” of negative charge (e-)

Definitions Octet rule (Rule of 8) 8 e- in the outer shell very stable H2 and He want a “duet” Electron configuration for duet = ns2 Electron configuration for octet = ns2 np6

Examples of Bonding Types Ionic Bonding: NaCl, K2S, Ca(NO3)2 Covalent Bonding H2 , Cl2 Metallic Bonding Cu, Ag

Lewis Dot Diagrams A Lewis dot diagram depicts an atom as its symbol and its valence electrons. Ex: Carbon . . . C . Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell (carbon is in group 14), so we place four dots representing those four valence electrons around the symbol for carbon.

Drawing Lewis Dot Diagrams Electrons are placed one at a time in a clockwise manner around the symbol in the north, east, south and west positions, only doubling up if there are five or more valence electrons. Same group # = Same Lewis Dot structure Ex. F, Cl, Br, I, At Example: Chlorine (7 valence electrons b/c it is in group 17) . . . . . Cl . .

Paired and Unpaired Electrons As we can see from the chlorine example, there are six electrons that are paired up and one that is unpaired. When it comes to bonding, atoms tend to pair up unpaired electrons. A bond that forms when one atom gives an unpaired electron to another atom is called an ionic bond. A bond that forms when atoms share unpaired electrons between each other is called a covalent bond.

Writing Lewis Dots Structures for Ions Uses either 0 or 8 dots, brackets and a superscript charge designate to ionic charge Ex.) Li+, Be+2, B+3, N-3, O-2, F-1

Lewis Dot Diagrams for Covalent Compounds A substance made up of atoms which are held together by covalent bonds is a covalent compound. They are also called molecules.

Covalent Compounds and Lewis Dot Diagrams Diagrams show bonds in a covalent compound and tells us how the atoms will combine Shared e- = bonding e- Non-shared e- = lone pair e- (a.k.a. non-bonding e-) Ex. F2

Drawing Electron Dot Diagrams for Molecules Chemists usually denote a shared pair of electrons as a straight line. F F Sometimes the nonbonding pair of electrons are left off of the electron dot diagram for a molecule

Examples H CH4 H C H H H N H NH3 H

Types of Covalent Bonds Single Bond 2 e- are shared in a bond (1 from each atom) Double Bond 2 pairs of e- are shared (4 e- total, 2 from each atom) Triple Bond 3 pairs of e- are shared (6 e- total, 3 from each atom)

Rules for Drawing Lewis Dot Diagrams Add up the total number of valence e- for each atom in the molecule. Each (-) sign counts as 1 e-, each (+) sign subtracts one e- Write the symbol for the central atom then use one pair of e- to form bonds between the central atom and the remaining atoms. (see hints) Count the number of e- remaining and distribute according to octet rule (or the “duet” rule for hydrogen) If there are not enough pairs, make sure the most electronegative elements are satisfied. Then, start shifting pairs into double and triple bonds to satisfy the octet rule. If there are extra e-, stick them on the central atom.

Hints: H is NEVER a central atom! Carbon will always be a central atom! Halogens (Group 17) are usually not central atoms. If you only have 1 of a certain element, it is usually the central atom.

Checking Your Work! But Remember.... The Structure MUST Have: the right number of atoms for each element, the right number of electrons, the right overall charge, and 8 electrons around each atom (ideally).

Resonance Structures Definition: When a single Lewis structure does not adequately represent a substance, the true structure is intermediate between two or more structures which are called resonance structures. Resonance Structures are created by moving electrons (in double or triple bonds), NOT atoms.

Resonance Structure Example, SO2 Central atom = S This leads to the following structures: These equivalent structures are called RESONANCE STRUCTURES. The true structure is a HYBRID of the two. Arrow means “in resonance with”

Resonance Structure Example, NO3- Draw the Lewis diagram for NO3- with all possible resonance structures.

Molecular Geometry Molecular Geometry describes the 3-D arrangement of atoms in a molecule. We will use VSEPR theory to predict these 3-D shapes!

VSEPR: Shapes of Molecules VSEPR Theory (definition) “Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion” Based on idea that e- pairs want to be as far apart as possible Gives molecule its shape

There is a fundamental geometry that corresponds to the total number of electron pairs around the central atom: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 linear trigonal planar tetrahedral trigonal bipyramidal octahedral

Basic Electron Pair Geometries Shapes Sum of Bonded Atoms & Lone e- Linear Trigonal planar Tetrahedral Trigonal bipyramidal Octahedral

To determine the molecular geometry: 1. Draw the Lewis structure. 2. Count the number of bonded (X) atoms and non-bonded or lone pairs (E) around the central atom. 3. Based on the number of X and E, assign the molecular geometry. 4. Multiple bonds count as one bonded pair!

Molecules with More than One Central Atom Determine geometry for each central atom separately! Example: In acetic acid, CH3COOH, there are three central atoms:

Molecules with only two atoms are always linear! Examples: HCl N2

To determine the molecular geometry: 1. Draw the Lewis structure. 2. Count the number of bonded (X) atoms and non-bonded or lone pairs (E) around the central atom. 3. Based on the total of X + E, assign the electron pair geometry. 4. Multiple bonds count as one bonded pair!

Bond and Molecule Polarity Polar Bond Covalent bond in which the electrons are unequally shared Ex. H2O Non-polar Bond Covalent bond in which the electrons are equally shared Ex. F2 or CH4 Predicting Bond Polarity Use Electronegativity!! (see next slide)

Predicting Bond Polarity Calculate the difference between the Pauling electronegativity values for the 2 elements Type of Bond IONIC (COVALENT) POLAR NON-POLAR Types of Atoms 1 metal & 1 nonmetal (ex. NaCl) (generally) 2 nonmetals Ex. NH3, H2O Ex. CCl4, O2 Electronegativity Difference ≥ 1.7 > 0.4 but < 1.7 ≤ 0.4 0 – 0.4  Non-polar covalent 0.4 – 1.7  Polar covalent (more e/n element has greater pull) 1.7 and up  Ionic (e- are transferred between atoms)

Polar Molecules Polar Molecules (dipole) Molecule with separate centers of (+) and (-) charge In other words, molecules are polar if the pull in any one direction is not balanced out by an equal & opposite pull in the opposite direction

Polar Bonds and Polar Molecules Drawing Polar Molecules Positive and Negative regions shown by “delta”(δ) Ex. CH3Cl

Determining the Polarity of a Molecule Shape is crucial (determine the VSEPR shape 1st) All non-polar bonds = nonpolar molecule Polar bonds  see if they cancel each other out If they all cancel = nonpolar molecule If they are unbalanced = polar molecule

Determining Molecular Polarity Nonpolar Polar

Examples: Polar or non-polar? Determine if the following molecules are polar or nonpolar. H2S F2 H2O

Special Types of Bonding Hydrogen Bonding Force in which a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly electronegative element (F, O, or N) is simultaneously attracted to a neighboring nonmetal atom

Hydrogen Bonding Elements that undergo H-bonding Hydrogen bonding is FON! (Fluorine, Oxygen, and Nitrogen) Effects on Physical Properties H2O is most notable example of H-bonds Ice forms rigid, open structures Increases volume upon freezing (floats) Molecules w/ higher molar mass have lower BP than H2O
