Bonds Forces that hold groups of atoms together and make them function as a unit. NaCl – attraction is electrostatic since Na+ and Cl- are the Stable forms for these elements. This is an example of “Ionic Bonding” Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Bond Energy It is the energy required to break a bond. It gives us information about the strength of a bonding interaction, as well as radius. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Covalent Bond No electron transfer Electrons are shared between two atoms, positioned between the two nuclei Example: H2, O2, H2O, CO2, etc. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

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. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Ionic Bonds and Coulomb’s Law
Q1 and Q2 = numerical ion charges r = distance between ion centers (in nm) Attractive forces are (-), repulsive are (+). Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Covalent or Ionic? Covalent and ionic are simply extreme cases. Most molecules share electrons but “Unequally” due to the difference in electronegativity and electron affinity. This will give rise to a dipole moment and the molecule becomes polar. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Electronegativity The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself. Linus Pauling simple model Δ= (H  X)actual  (H  X)expected (H-H) + (X-X) 2 (H-X)experimental # (H-X)expected = If  = 0 => no polarity Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Dipoles (polar molecules) and Microwaves

Compounds Two nonmetals react: They share electrons to achieve NGEC (Noble Gas Electron Configurations) and form covalent bonds. A nonmetal and a representative group metal react (ionic compound): The valence orbitals of the metal are emptied (cation) to achieve NGEC. The valence electron configuration of the nonmetal (anion) achieves NGEC. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Ions Ionic compounds are always electrically neutral e.g. they have the same amount of +ve and –ve charges. Common ions have noble gas configurations. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Why Compounds Exist? The driving force behind the naturally occurring compounds (such as NaCl, H2O, etc.) is to yield a stable lower energy form. A stable form is a an arrangement of atoms, held together by bonding that prevent decomposition. This bonding energy when ions condense from gas phase into ionic solid is called Lattice Energy. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Lattice Energy The change in energy when separated gaseous ions are packed together to form an ionic solid. M+(g) + X(g)  MX(s) Lattice energy is negative (exothermic) from the point of view of the system. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

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] 4. Formation of X ions in the gas phase: X(g) + e  X(g) [exothermic] 5. Formation of the solid (LATTICE) MX M+(g) + X(g)  MX(s) [quite exothermic] Lattice Energy Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Partial Ionic Character of the Covalent Bond

Ion Pairing Experiments showed that none of the studied systems have 100% ionic character despite large differences in electronegativity. The reason is “Ion Pairing” during motion, ions approach closely and for a short period of time their charges will be neutralized before moving away from each other.

A Model for Covalent Bond
Models are attempts to explain how nature operates on the microscopic level based on experiences in the macroscopic world. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

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. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Generally, bonds occur when collections of atoms are more stable (lower in energy) than the separate atoms e.g. CH4 is 1652 KJ lower in energy than 1 mole of C and 4 mole of H. Stability can be determined in terms if model called “Chemical Bond” C-H bond energy = = 413 KJ/mol 1652 KJ/mol 4 Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Single bond < Double bond < Triple bond
The enthalpy change required to break a particular bond in one mole of gaseous molecules is the bond energy. Bond Energy H2 (g) H (g) + DH0 = kJ Cl2 (g) Cl (g) + DH0 = kJ HCl (g) H (g) + Cl (g) DH0 = kJ O2 (g) O (g) + DH0 = kJ O N2 (g) N (g) + DH0 = kJ N Bond Energies Single bond < Double bond < Triple bond Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Using this model, one can determine other bond energies. CH3Cl is composed of 3 C-H bond and 1 C-Cl bond C-H bond is known 413 KJ/mol C-Cl bond energy = 1572 – 3(413) = 339 KJ/mol Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Average bond energy in polyatomic molecules
H2O (g) H (g) + OH (g) DH0 = 502 kJ OH (g) H (g) + O (g) DH0 = 427 kJ Average OH bond energy = 2 = 464 kJ Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Bond Energy and Bond Length
Note : The shorter the bond the higher the bond energy Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Bond Energies and Enthalpy of Reaction
Bond breaking requires energy (endothermic). Bond formation releases energy (exothermic). H = D(bonds broken)  D(bonds formed) Energy required Energy released Reactants Products Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

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. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Writing Lewis Structures
Draw skeletal structure of compound showing what atoms are bonded to each other. Put least electronegative element in the center. Count total number of valence e-. Add 1 for each negative charge. Subtract 1 for each positive charge. Complete an octet for all atoms except hydrogen If structure contains too many electrons, form double and triple bonds on central atom as needed.

Step 1 – N is less electronegative than F, put N in center Step 2 – Count valence electrons N - 5 (2s22p3) and F - 7 (2s22p5) 5 + (3 x 7) = 26 valence electrons Step 3 – Draw single bonds between N and F atoms and complete octets on N and F atoms. Step 4 - Check, are # of e- in structure equal to number of valence e- ? 3 single bonds (3x2) + 10 lone pairs (10x2) = 26 valence electrons Actual in 3D F N Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.

Step 4 - Check, are # of e- in structure equal to number of valence e- ? 3 single bonds (3x2) + 10 lone pairs (10x2) = 26 valence electrons Step 5 - Too many electrons, form double bond and re-check # of e- 2 single bonds (2x2) = 4 1 double bond = 4 8 lone pairs (8x2) = 16 Total = 24 O C Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.

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 (BF3, BeH2, etc..). 3rd row and heavier elements CAN exceed the octet rule using empty valence d orbitals (SF6, PCl5, etc.). When writing Lewis structures, satisfy octets first, then place electrons around elements having available d orbitals. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Note: For molecules that has several Third row (or higher) elements the extra electrons should be placed on the central atom. I3- I I I .. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

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. The value of the resonance bond is in between a single bond and double bond. C=C < C C < C-C …. Copyright©2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Formal Charge An atom’s formal charge is the difference between the number of valence electrons in an isolated atom and the number of electrons assigned to that atom in a Lewis structure. formal charge on an atom in a Lewis structure = 1 2 total number of bonding electrons ( ) total number of valence electrons in the free atom - total number of nonbonding electrons The sum of the formal charges of the atoms in a molecule or ion must equal the charge on the molecule or ion.

All rights reserved.

Formal Charge and Lewis Structures
For neutral molecules, a Lewis structure in which there are no formal charges is preferable to one in which formal charges are present. Lewis structures with large formal charges are less plausible than those with small formal charges. Among Lewis structures having similar distributions of formal charges, the most plausible structure is the one in which negative formal charges are placed on the more electronegative atoms.
