Covalent Bonding Molecular Compounds
3
Describe a covalent bond in terms of the difference in electronegativity of the atoms and the energy changes in bond formation. Correlate bond energy and bond length for single, double and triple bonds. State the octet rule and families of elements involved. Write the Lewis electron dot structures of compounds and ions containing covalent single, double and triple bonds. Explain resonance and apply it to determine the bond orders of relevant compounds. Objectives
4
Describe the shapes of molecules using Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory. Identify appropriate molecular shapes (linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, pyramidal and angular/bent) and specify the corresponding bond angles. Describe the effect of unshared electron pairs on bond angles. Describe the formation of σ (sigma) and π (pi) bonds and identify them in molecules. List the types of intermolecular forces and rank them by strength. Determine whether a bond is polar or non-polar. Determine whether a molecule is polar or non-polar. Write the name of a binary covalent compound given its formula, or its formula given its name.

LET’S FIRST REVIEW IONIC BONDING

In an IONIC bond, electrons are lost (metals) or gained (nonmetals), resulting in the formation of IONS in ionic compounds. FK

16
So what are covalent bonds?
17
A type of bonding between non- metals. This involves the sharing of electrons by 2 or more atoms. The electrons are shared, not transferred as with ionic bonds. Covalent Bonding
18
Covalent Compounds Are made up of two NONMETALS. (Both elements are from the right of the step line (green elements shown)).
19
When nonmetals bond together a covalent bond is created and we call them molecules or molecular compounds!
20
Molecules Molecules are neutral atoms that are joined together by covalent bonds Molecular formula - shows you how many atoms of each element is in a substance Example: CO 2, NH 4
21
Formation of a Covalent Bond
22
The electrons move freely about in either orbital.
23
Bond length - the distance between the two atoms nuclei. Bond energy - the amount of energy required to break a chemical bond.
24
Octet Rule and Covalent Bonding An octet is 8 valence electrons that want to achieve a noble gas configuration! Molecules want the same thing, but they share their valence electrons to achieve the octet rule.
25
EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE BONDS BETWEEN: H 2 F 2 Br 2 Cl 2 HCl H 2 O A type of bonding between non- metals. Other than hydrogen these elements are on the right side of the periodic table.
26
In covalent bonding, atoms still want to achieve a noble gas configuration (the octet rule). But rather than losing or gaining electrons, atoms now share an electron pair. The shared electron pair is called a bonding pair
27
Lewis Dot Structures Formulas in which atomic symbols represent the element and all inner-shell electrons, dots represent valence electrons and dashes between two atomic symbols represent electron pairs in covalent bonds. Cl

Multiple Bonds Double bonds are stronger and shorter than single bonds. Triple bonds are even stronger and shorter than both double and single bonds. Common between carbon, oxygen and nitrogen atoms.

Properties of Covalent Compounds Switch PowerPoint Presentation – slide 80
80
Covalent bonds can be polar or non-polar. If a bond is non-polar, that means that there is an equal sharing of electrons between atoms (Cl 2 ). If a bond is polar, that means that the electrons are not shared equally, making one side of the bond more negative (where the electrons end up) and the other side more positive (where the electrons were). Example is water (H 2 O)
81
Electronegativity This chart will help you determine if it is polar or nonpolar 0.0-0.3 Non polar covalent 0.3-1.7 polar covalent >/= 1.8 Ionic
82
Are formed when 2 atoms with different electronegativities form a covalent bond. The atoms DO NOT SHARE electrons equally. The electrons are more strongly attracted to the MOST electronegative atom. This uneven sharing of electrons creates a dipole force (tiny magnet) and is indicated with partial negative and positive charges. atom. electronegativity Polar Compounds
83
Bond polarity Since, atoms are sharing within a covalent bond… If they share unequally they are a polar covalent bond Examples: H 2 O

Intermolecular Forces
88
What makes water (H 2 O) so ideally suited to sustain life on earth? Why is water unique compared to a similar compound (H 2 S)? Intermolecular forces Intermolecular Forces
89
Boiling Points: water = 100 o C (liquid) H 2 S = -60 o C (gas) Water is one of the few compounds where the density of the solid (ice) is less than the density of the liquid. Ice floats – so why is this important!
90
Intermolecular Forces – the forces of attraction between molecules. Not actually bonds. These forces are weaker than covalent bonds, ionic bonds and metallic bonds.
91
Dipole – is created by opposite charges that are separated by a short distance. The dipole’s direction is from the positive pole to the negative pole. The dipole (magnet) is created due to electronegativity differences between atoms. H Cl (H= 2.1; Cl = 3.0)
92
The negative region in one polar molecule attracts the positive region in adjacent molecules. The forces of attraction between polar molecules are known as dipole-dipole forces.
93
Dipole forces between I-Cl molecules Electronegativity of I = 2.7; Cl = 3.0
94
This intermolecular attraction between molecules causes the molecules to be held together tighter causing increasing boiling points. Example: boiling point of I-Cl is 97 o C; boiling point of F-F is -188 o C
95
Examples: molecules
96
A force keeping molecules attracted to each other which always includes hydrogen. (hence this name). This is a strong type of dipole-dipole force. When hydrogen bonds to certain highly electro- negative atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine, the bonds are very polar. This leaves the hydrogen rather positive, wishing for some negativity in the form of electrons. Since it can’t pull its electron back from these atoms, it actually is attracted to the UNSHARED PAIRS of electrons from other nearby molecules.. Hydrogen Bonding
97
The + signs in blue are the hydrogen atoms. See how they can be attracted to the blue UNSHARED PAIRS of electrons of a nearby water molecule? That is hydrogen bonding. the hydrogen bond is only about 5% the strength of a covalent bond, but much stronger than a dipole weak bond
98
Hydrogen Bonding Example: boiling point of H 2 S: -61 o C; boiling point of H 2 O: 100 o C Hydrogen bonds to oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine
99
Induced Dipole Forces A temporary dipole created when a polar molecule interacts with a nonpolar molecule. Very weak forces
100
Van Der Waal’s Forces Also called dispersion force, which is due to the movement of molecules and to the number of electrons around. They create temporary but real attractions between molecules.
101
When you have a lot of electrons and they are all buzzing around quickly from time to time a temporary condition can be created where there are more electrons in one area. This creates a temporary but real electrostatic force of attraction between the (+) and the (-) zones created. The more electrons you have (Iodine has lots more than fluorine for example) the more opportunity for this temporary condition to exist. It’s weak but real and in group 17 at STP the results make for some gases, a liquid and a solid at constant STP.
