1
Covalent bonding
2
Covalent bonds Nonmetals hold onto their valence electrons. They can’t give away electrons to bond. Still want noble gas configuration (full outer energy level). Get it by sharing valence electrons with each other. By sharing, both atoms get to count the electrons toward noble gas configuration.
3
How does H 2 form? ++ The nuclei repel But they are attracted to electrons They share the electrons
4
Electron Dot diagrams A way of keeping track of valence electrons. How to write them 1)Write the symbol. 2)Put one dot for each valence electron 3)Don’t pair up until they have to X
5
The Electron Dot diagram for Nitrogen l Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. l First we write the symbol. N l Then add 1 electron at a time to each side... l Until they are forced to pair up.
6
Your Turn to Try Fill in the chart on the top of page 5 in your packet.

Electron Dot Notation Bonding Sites: H, 1* Be, 2* B, 3* C, 4 N, 3 O, 2 F, 1 Ne, 0 He, 0Electron Dot Notation Bonding Sites: H, 1* Be, 2* B, 3* C, 4 N, 3 O, 2 F, 1 Ne, 0 He, 0
8
Covalent bonding Fluorine has seven valence electrons F A second atom also has seven F By sharing electrons …both end with full orbitals 8 Valence electrons 8 Valence electrons
9
Single Covalent Bond A sharing of two valence electrons. Only nonmetals and Hydrogen. Different from an ionic bond because they actually form molecules. Two specific atoms are joined.
10
How to show how they formed It’s like a jigsaw puzzle. I have to tell you what the final formula is. You put the pieces together to end up with the right formula. For example- show how water is formed with covalent bonds.
11
Water H O Each hydrogen has 1 valence electron Each hydrogen wants 1 more The oxygen has 6 valence electrons The oxygen wants 2 more They share to make each other happy
12
Water Put the pieces together The first hydrogen is happy The oxygen still wants one more H O
13
Water The second hydrogen attaches Every atom has full energy levels H O H
14
Multiple Bonds Sometimes atoms share more than one pair of valence electrons. A double bond is when atoms share two pair (4) of electrons. A triple bond is when atoms share three pair (6) of electrons.
15
Carbon dioxide CO 2 - Carbon is central atom Carbon has 4 valence electrons Wants 4 more Oxygen has 6 valence electrons Wants 2 more O C
16
Carbon dioxide Attaching 1 oxygen leaves the oxygen 1 short and the carbon 3 short O C
17
Carbon dioxide l Attaching the second oxygen leaves both oxygen 1 short and the carbon 2 short O C O
18
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more O C O
19
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more O C O
20
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more O CO
21
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more O CO
22
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more O CO
23
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more O CO
24
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more l Requires two double bonds l Each atom gets to count all the atoms in the bond O CO
25
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more l Requires two double bonds l Each atom gets to count all the atoms in the bond O CO 8 valence electrons
26
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more l Requires two double bonds l Each atom gets to count all the atoms in the bond O CO 8 valence electrons
27
Carbon dioxide l The only solution is to share more l Requires two double bonds l Each atom gets to count all the atoms in the bond O CO 8 valence electrons
28
How to draw them Add up all the valence electrons. Count up the total number of electrons to make all atoms happy (i.e. # of bonding sites) Subtract. Divide by 2 Tells you how many bonds - draw them. Fill in the rest of the valence electrons to fill atoms up.
29
Examples NH 3 N - has 5 valence e -, wants 8 H - has 1 valence e -, wants 2 NH 3 has 5+1(x 3) = 8 e - NH 3 wants 8+2(x3) = 14 e - (14-8)/2= 3 bonds 4 atoms with 3 bonds N H
30
NHH H Examples Draw in the bonds All 8 electrons are accounted for Everything is full, Nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons
31
Examples HCN C is central atom N - has 5 valence electrons wants 8 C - has 4 valence electrons wants 8 H - has 1 valence electrons wants 2 HCN has 5+4+1 = 10 HCN wants 8+8+2 = 18 (18-10)/2= 4 bonds 3 atoms with 4 bonds -will require multiple bonds - not to H
32
HCN Put in single bonds Need 2 more bonds Must go between C and N NHC
33
HCN l Put in single bonds l Need 2 more bonds l Must go between C and N l Uses 8 electrons - 2 more to add NHC
34
HCN l Put in single bonds l Need 2 more bonds l Must go between C and N l Uses 8 electrons - 2 more to add l Must go on N to fill octet NHC
35
Another way of indicating bonds Often use a line to indicate a bond Called a structural formula Each line is 2 valence electrons HHO = HHO
36
Structural Examples H CN C O H H C has 8 electrons because each line is 2 electrons Ditto for N Ditto for C here Ditto for O
37
Ionic Compounds electron dot structures Write as an equation. Reactants-EACH atom with dots Products-EACH ion with its charge and dots Example:
38
Lewis Dots Ionic Compounds For homework tonight, use the “equation” method for question 38, p 176 if it helps you determine the products. The ONLY thing required for an answer would be the products….
