2. 8.1 Types of Chemical Bonds
Bond Energy: The energy required to break a bond.
It gives us information about the strength of a bonding interaction.
When a bond forms, the system achieves the lowest possible energy

3. Ionic Bonds
Formed from electrostatic attractions of closely packed, oppositely charged ions.
Formed when an atom that easily loses electrons reacts with one that has a high electron affinity (Metal + nonmetal) .
System achieves the lowest possible energy by behaving this way.
All bonds occur because of electrostatic attractions. These electrostatic forces are governed by Coulomb’s law so the entire study of bonding comes down to understanding how the law applies to different chemical situations.

4. Ionic Bonds
Coulomb’s Law – used to calculate the energy of interaction between a pair of ions.
Q1 and Q2 = numerical ion charges
r = distance between ion centers (in nm)
A negative sign indicates an attractive force between opposite charged ions and the ion pair has a lower energy than the separated ions. Ex. Na+ Cl-
Coulomb’s law can also be used to calc. a repulsive force in which the sign will be positive.
Two points from analyzing Coulomb’s law:
1. Bigger charges mean stronger bonds; smaller charges mean weaker bonds
2. Charges close together mean stronger bonds; charges far apart mean weaker bonds.

5. Bond Length
The distance where the system energy is at a minimum.

6. Interaction of Two Hydrogen Atoms
The system will position themselves so that they achieve the lowest possible energy. The distance at this point is called bond length. Zero point of energy is defined with the atoms at infinite separation. Energy terms involved are the net potential energy that results from the attractions and repulsions among the charged particles and the kinetic energy due to motions of the electrons.

7. Covalent Bonding Type of bonding in H2 molecule
Electrons are shared by nuclei
Polar Covalent Bond: Intermediate cases in which atoms are not so different that e- are not transferred like ionic bonds but different enough where e- are not shared equally.

8. Bond 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.
The lowercase  (delta) symbol is used to indicate a fractional charge. The arrow indicates the direction of the polarity.

9. = (H  X)actual  (H  X)expected
8.2 Electronegativity
The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons (covalent bond) to itself.
= (H  X)actual  (H  X)expected
This is Linus Pauling’s equation for determining the relative electronegativities of H and X atoms
Paulings process listed in slide has been used to determine relative electronegativities for most elements

15. 8.4 Ions: Electron Configurations & Sizes
Electron Configuration of Compounds
Two nonmetals react: They share electrons to achieve Noble Gas Electron Configurations (NGEC).
A nonmetal and a representative group metal react to form a binary ionic compound. The valence orbitals of the metal are emptied to achieve NGEC. The valence electron configuration of the nonmetal attracts electrons to achieve NGEC.

16. Predicting Formulas of Ionic Compounds
Rules:
Solid Ionic Compounds are most stable
Noble Gas Electron Configurations are generally the most stable.
Chemical compounds are electrically neutral
Using Electron Configurations, you can predict the bond formation:
Ca[Ar]4s O[He]2s22p4
You can see that Ca will give up its valence electrons to O Ca O-2

Ion Size
Isoelectronic Ions: Ions containing the the same number of electrons
O2> F > Na+ > Mg2+ > Al3+
largest smallest
Note that they all have the same electron configuration but the size differs, general for all isolectronic ions the size get smaller as you increase the atomic number because of the increase in number of protons (nuclear attraction).

18. Relative Ion Size
Choose the largest ion in each of the following groups.
Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+
Ba+2, Cs+, I-, Te-2
Sample Ex. 8.4 p. 342

19. 8.5 Energy Effects in Binary Ionic
Lattice Energy is the change in energy when separated gaseous ions are packed together to form an ionic solid.
Lattice energy is negative (exothermic) from the point of view of the system. Negative values indicate energy is given off which is what happens when you form bonds.

20. Formation of an Ionic Solid
1. Sublimation of the solid metal
M(s)  M(g) [endothermic]
2. Ionization of the metal atoms
M(g)  M+(g) + e [endothermic]
3. Dissociation of the nonmetal
1/2X2(g)  X(g) [endothermic]
Follow the steps on p343 as it goes through the entire process of forming an ionic solid. Point out the individual steps are either endothermic ( have to put energy into the system) or exothermic (system gives off energy). The net result is exothermic

21. Formation of an Ionic Solid (continued)
4. Formation of X ions in the gas phase:
X(g) + e  X(g) [exothermic]
5. Formation of the solid MX
M+(g) + X(g)  MX(s) [quite exothermic]

22. Lattice Energy of CsF

23. Lattice energy can be represented by a modified Coulomb’s Law
k = a proportionality constant that depends on structure of the solid & electron config.
Q1, Q2 = charges on the ions
r = shortest distance between centers of the cations and anions
Lattice energy will have a negative sign because your joining cations and anions.

24. Relationship in Electronegativity Difference & Percent Ionic Character

25. Covalent Bond: A Model
Chemical bonds are forces that cause a group of atoms to behave as a unit.
Bonds result from the tendency of a system to seek its lowest possible energy.
Models are attempts to explain how nature operates on the microscopic level based on experiences in the macroscopic world.

26. Fundamental Properties of Models
Fundamental Properties of Models p350
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.

This table shows that the actual bond energy is sensitive to its environment. Chemists use the average values. Bond energy values can be used to calculate approximate energies for a reaction.

28. Covalent Bond Energies
Bond breaking requires energy (endothermic).
Bond formation releases energy (exothermic).
∆H = enthalpy, a measure of the total energy of a system. Unit is Joules
D = Sum of bond energies(D) per mole, always has a positive sign.
Enthalpy is a measure of the total energy of a thermodynamic system. It includes the internal energy, which is the energy required to create a system, and the amount of energy required to make room for it by displacing its environment and establishing its volume and pressure.
Enthalpy is a thermodynamic potential. It is a state function and an extensive quantity. The unit of measurement for enthalpy in the International System of Units (SI) is the joule, but other historical, conventional units are still in use, such as the British thermal unit and the calorie.
Go over the process of adding up bond energy using sample exercise 8.5

32. 8.9 Localized Electron Model
Assumes a molecule is composed of atoms that are bound together by sharing pairs of electrons using the atomic orbitals of the bound atoms.
Electron pairs are:
Localized on atom = Lone Pair
Shared between atoms = Bonding Pair

33. Localized Electron Model – Three Parts
1. Description of valence electron arrangement (Lewis Structures 8.10).
2. Prediction of geometry (VSEPR Model 8.13).
3. Description of atomic orbital types used to share electrons or hold lone pairs. (Ch 9)

34. Lewis Structure
Shows how valence electrons are arranged among atoms in a molecule.
Reflects central idea that stability of a compound relates to noble gas electron configuration.

35. Steps for Writing Lewis Structures
Sum the valence electrons from all atoms. Add e- for neg. polyatomic ions Subtract e- for pos. polyatomic ions
Draw skeletal structure using pair e- to form bonds, least electronegative atom is usually central position
Add pairs e- to surrounding atoms
Add remaining e- to central atom
p.42 Cracking AP Chemistry 2013

36. 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.
Go over several problems in book on writing Lewis structures: p357 sample exercises 8.6, p 385 exercise 67 & 68 Also look at section 8.11 exceptions to octet rule

37. 8.12 Resonance
Occurs when more than one valid Lewis structure can be written for a particular molecule.
These are resonance structures. The actual structure is an average of the resonance structures.

38. Formal Charge
Used to help determine the correct Lewis structure when more than one structure is possible.
The difference between the number of valence electrons (VE) on the free atom and the number assigned to the atom in the molecule.
We need to know:
1. # VE on free neutral atom
2. # VE “belonging” to the atom in the
molecule
#VEbelonging = (# Lone Pair) + (1/2 # shared E)

39. Formal Charge
Not as good Better

40. 8.13 VSEPR Model
The structure around a given atom is determined principally by minimizing electron pair repulsions.

41. Predicting a VSEPR Structure
1. Draw Lewis structure.
2. Put pairs as far apart as possible to minimize repulsion.
3. Determine positions of atoms from the way electron pairs are shared.
4. Determine the name of molecular structure from positions of the atoms.
Work through the examples in section 8.13 and #89-98 at end of chapter.
Use molecular model kits.
