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 Dots around elemental symbol –Symbolize valence electrons Thus, one must know valence electron configuration Thus, one must know valence electron configuration

Lewis Structures of molecules Single Bond: Two atoms sharing one electron pair. Example: H 2 Double Bond: Two atoms sharing two pairs of electrons. Example: O 2 Triple Bond: Two atoms sharing three pairs of electrons. Example: N 2 Example: N 2 Resonance Structures: More than one Lewis Structure can be drawn for a molecule. Example: O 3

Rules for Lewis structures of molecules 1. Write out valence electrons for each atom 2. Connect lone electrons because lone electrons are destabilizing 1.Become two shared electrons 1.Called a “bond” 3. Check to see if octet rule is satisfied 1.Recall electron configuration resembling noble gas 1. In other words, there must be 8 electrons (bonded or non-bonded) around atom 1.Non-bonded electron-pair 1. Called “lone pair”

Formal Charge Charge calculated on atom based on Lewis structure Charge calculated on atom based on Lewis structure –Yields best Lewis structure of competitors FC = VE - [LE + ½(BE)] FC = VE - [LE + ½(BE)] Rules: Rules: 1. Sum of all FC’s must equal to charge on species, if any 2. Smaller or zero FC’s on atoms better than large FC’s 3. Negative FC should be on most electronegative species

Examples HBr HBr –FC on H = 1-[0 + ½ (2)] = 0 –FC on Br = 7 – [6+ ½ (2)] = 0 –Net sum of FC’s = charge on ion = 0 OH - OH - –FC on O = 6 – [6 + ½(2)] = -1 –FC on H = 1 – [0 + ½(2)] = 0 –Net sum of FC’s = charge on ion = -1

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 non- polar covalent bonds ( ) Similar electronegativities between elements give non- polar covalent bonds ( ) Different electronegativities between elements give polar covalent bonds ( ) Different electronegativities between elements give polar covalent bonds ( ) If the difference between the electronegativities of two elements is about 2.0 or greater, the bond is ionic If the difference between the electronegativities of two elements is about 2.0 or greater, the bond is ionic

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.
