Bonds Forces that hold groups of atoms Forces that hold groups of atoms together and make them function together and make them function as a unit. as a unit. Ionic bonds – transfer of electrons Ionic bonds – transfer of electrons Covalent bonds – sharing of electrons

7
The Octet Rule Chemical compounds tend to form so that each atom, by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, has an octet of electrons in its highest occupied energy level. Diatomic Hydrogen H : H shared pair H- H
8
Comments About the Octet Rule 2nd row elements C, N, O, F observe the octet rule. 2nd row elements B and Be often have fewer than 8 electrons around themselves - they are very reactive. 3rd row and heavier elements CAN exceed the octet rule using empty valence d orbitals. When writing Lewis structures, satisfy octets first, then place electrons around elements having available d orbitals.
9
Lewis Structures (Structural formula) Shows how valence electrons are arranged among Shows how valence electrons are arranged among atoms in a molecule. atoms in a molecule. Covalent bond represented by the line Covalent bond represented by the line Unshared pair is the non- bonding pairs surrounding the peripheral atoms.

Complete octets on atoms other than hydrogen with remaining electrons Total bonds = total # of electrons – total valence electrons ÷ 2 Make carbon the central atom

Bond Dissociation Energy (BDE) It is the energy required to break the bond between two covalently bonded atoms. It gives us information about the strength of a bonding interaction. (the larger the energy the stronger the bond. The greater the BDE the less reactive.

Hybridization The Blending of Orbitals
38
We have studied electron configuration notation and the sharing of electrons in the formation of covalent bonds. Methane is a simple natural gas. Its molecule has a carbon atom at the center with four hydrogen atoms covalently bonded around it. Lets look at a molecule of methane, CH 4.
39
What is the expected orbital notation of carbon in its ground state? (Hint: How many unpaired electrons does this carbon atom have available for bonding?) Can you see a problem with this? Carbon ground state configuration
40
You should conclude that carbon only has TWO electrons available for bonding. That is not not enough! How does carbon overcome this problem so that it may form four bonds? Carbon’s Bonding Problem
41
The first thought that chemists had was that carbon promotes one of its 2s electrons… …to the empty 2p orbital. Carbon’s Empty Orbital
42
However, they quickly recognized a problem with such an arrangement… Three of the carbon-hydrogen bonds would involve an electron pair in which the carbon electron was a 2p, matched with the lone 1s electron from a hydrogen atom. A Problem Arises
43
This would mean that three of the bonds in a methane molecule would be identical, because they would involve electron pairs of equal energy. But what about the fourth bond…? Unequal bond energy
44
The fourth bond is between a 2s electron from the carbon and the lone 1s hydrogen electron. Such a bond would have slightly less energy than the other bonds in a methane molecule. Unequal bond energy #2
45
This bond would be slightly different in character than the other three bonds in methane. This difference would be measurable to a chemist by determining the bond length and bond energy. But is this what they observe? Unequal bond energy #3
46
The simple answer is, “No”. Chemists have proposed an explanation – they call it Hybridization. Hybridization is the combining of two or more orbitals of nearly equal energy within the same atom into orbitals of equal energy. Measurements show that all four bonds in methane are equal. Thus, we need a new explanation for the bonding in methane. Enter Hybridization
47
In the case of methane, they call the hybridization sp 3, meaning that an s orbital is combined with three p orbitals to create four equal hybrid orbitals. These new orbitals have slightly MORE energy than the 2s orbital… … and slightly LESS energy than the 2p orbitals. sp 3 Hybrid Orbitals
48
Here is another way to look at the sp 3 hybridization and energy profile… sp 3 Hybrid Orbitals
49
While sp 3 is the hybridization observed in methane, there are other types of hybridization that atoms undergo. These include sp hybridization, in which one s orbital combines with a single p orbital. Notice that this produces two hybrid orbitals, while leaving two normal p orbitals sp Hybrid Orbitals
50
Another hybrid is the sp 2, which combines two orbitals from a p sublevel with one orbital from an s sublevel. Notice that one p orbital remains unchanged. sp 2 Hybrid Orbitals
51
What shape corresponds with what hybridization? How many hybridized orbitals are made? sp 3 sp 2 sp ? ? ?

Polus (Latin) for Pole A pole is a part of a system that has opposite electric or magnetic positions. –Earth (magnetic north and south) –Batteries (positive and negative poles) –Bonds (polar covalent and non-polar covalent)
55
Polar-Covalent bonds Nonpolar-Covalent bonds Covalent Bonds: electron sharing Electrons are unequally shared Electronegativity difference between.3 and 1.7 5- 50 % ionic character Electrons are equally shared Electronegativity difference of 0 to 0.3 0-5 % ionic character Ionic Electrons are transferred Electronegativity difference is greater than 1.7
56
Electronegativity The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself. The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself. Linus Pauling 1901 - 1994

59
Polarity A molecule, such as HF, that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge is said to be polar, or to have a dipole moment. A molecule, such as HF, that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge is said to be polar, or to have a dipole moment. What is the difference in elecronegativity?

66
Intra-molecular bonds: the force of attraction between the atoms in a molecule. Covalent bonds Inter-molecular bonds: the force of attraction between two or more molecules. Hydrogen bonds dipole-dipole forces London dispersion forces
67
Relative magnitudes of forces The types of bonding forces vary in their strength as measured by average bond energy. Covalent bonds (400 kcal) Hydrogen bonding (12-16 kcal ) Dipole-dipole interactions (2-0.5 kcal) London forces (less than 1 kcal) Strongest Weakest

Models Models are attempts to explain how nature operates on the microscopic level based on experiences in the macroscopic world. Models can be physical as with this DNA model Models can be mathematical Models can be theoretical or philosophical
87
Fundamental Properties of Models A model does not equal reality. Models are oversimplifications, and are therefore often wrong. Models become more complicated as they age. We must understand the underlying assumptions in a model so that we don’t misuse it.
