Mr. Kinton Honors Chemistry Bonding and VSEPR Mr. Kinton Honors Chemistry
Bonding Chemical Bond: atoms or ions that are strongly attached Ionic Bonds Covalent Bonds Metallic Bonds
Metallic Bonding Delocalized electrons that hold metals together Electrons have freedom to move Sea of electrons
Ionic Bonding Electrostatic forces that hold oppositely charged ions together Transfer of electrons Occur between a metal and a nonmetal
Polyatomic Ions Charged group of 2 or more atoms Memorize this list Table 2.4 and 2.5 (58-59) Positive and negative
Ionic Bond Properties Brittle substances High melting point Well defined 3-D arrangement
You Try! What are the charges that each element is likely to form? Sr Al Mg N
Covalent Bonding Sharing of electrons between 2 atoms Occurs between nonmetallic elements
Types of Covalent Bonds Bond Type Single Double Triple # of electrons 2 4 6 Notation — = Bond Order 1 3 Bond Energy Lowest Middle Highest Bond Length Longest Shortest
You Try! Classify the following as Ionic or Covalent? MgH2 H2S OF2 FeF2 Mn2O3 Cl2F3
Bond Polarity and Electronegativity Definitions: Bond Polarity: description of the sharing of electrons Nonpolar covalent: bond where electrons are shared equally polar- covalent: one atom has a greater attraction for the electrons
Covalent Bonds Electronegativity Difference Type of Bond Nonpolar covalent Between 0.1 and 1.7 Polar Covalent Greater that 1.7 Ionic
Dipoles When 2 electrical charges are separated by a distance Dipole moment: quantitative measure of a molecules dipole Polar Molecule: molecule where the center of positive and negative charges are separate
Lewis Structures What is the purpose of a Lewis diagram? Lewis Structures visually show shared electrons Group 7A- 1 Covalent Group 6A- 2 Covalent Group 5A- 3 Covalent
You Try! How many bonds will the following atoms form? I S H P
Exceptions to the Octet Rule Odd Number of Electrons Ex) NO, ClO2, NO2 Less than an octet B and Be More than an octet Largest number of exceptions Ex) PCl5, SF4
Molecular Shapes Determined by the bond angles and bond lengths of a molecule Best explained by the general form of ABn A is our central atom Bn is the number of atoms bonded to A
Molecular Shapes There are 5 fundamental shapes of molecules
VSEPR Model Wait WHAT?! Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Helps us determine the shape of a given molecule Electron Domain: Region where electrons occupy space Bonding Pair Nonbonding pair (lone pairs)
VSEPR Model Electrons are arranged to maximize distance Electron Domain Geometry: follows the ABn Molecular Geometry: Shows how the molecule exists in space
