Chapter 6 Covalent Compounds
2
6.1 Covalent Bonds Sharing Electrons Covalent bonds form when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons nucleus of each atom is attracted to electron cloud of other atom neither atom removes an electron from the other
3
Covalent Bonding
4
6.1 Covalent Bonds Sharing Electrons Covalent bonds space where electrons move is called molecular orbital made when atomic orbitals overlap
5
Molecules
6
6.1 Covalent Bonds Energy and Stability Noble gases are stable (full octet) (low P.E.) Other elements are not stable (high P.E.) covalent bonding decreases potential energy because each atom achieves electron configuration like noble gas
7
6.1 Covalent Bonds Energy and Stability because P.E. decreases when atoms bond, energy is released i.e., atoms lose P.E. when they bond loss of P.E. implies higher stability
9
6.1 Covalent Bonds Energy and Stability potential energy determines bond length at minimum P.E., distance between two bonded atoms is called bond length bonded atoms vibrate therefore, bond length is an average length
10
6.1 Covalent Bonds Energy and Stability bonds vary in strength bond energy is the amount of energy required to break the bonds in 1 mol of a chemical compound bond energy predicts reactivity bond energy is equal to loss of P.E. during formation
11
Bond Energies and Lengths
12
6.1 Covalent Bonds Electronegativity Atoms share electrons equally or unequally nonpolar covalent bond: bonding electrons shared equally polar covalent bond: shared electrons more likely to be found around more electronegative atom
13
6.1 Covalent Bonds Electronegativity Atoms share electrons equally or unequally difference in electronegativity can be used to predict type of bond (but boundaries are arbitrary) I think this concept is important for AP Biology.
15
Bond Types
16
6.1 Covalent Bonds Electronegativity Polar molecules have positive and negative ends such molecules called dipoles (“delta”) means partial in math and science positive end— + negative end— - example: H + F -
17
Electronegativity Difference for Hydrogen Halides
18
6.1 Covalent Bonds Electronegativity Polarity is related to bond strength greater electronegativity means greater polarity means greater bond strength
19
6.1 Covalent Bonds Electronegativity Bond type determines properties of substances metallic bonds: electrons can move from one atom to another—good conductors ionic bonds: hard and difficult to break apart covalent bonds: low melting/boiling points
20
Properties of Substances with Different Types of Bonds
21
6.2 Drawing and Naming Lewis Electron-Dot Structures Lewis structures represent valence electrons with dots position of electrons is symbolic (not literal) shows only the valence electrons of an atom dots around atomic symbol represent electrons
22
Lewis Structures of Second- Period Elements
24
6.2 Drawing and Naming Lewis Electron-Dot Structures Cl 2 HCl
25
6.2 Drawing and Naming Lewis Electron-Dot Structures Drawing 1. Gather information draw Lewis structure for each atom in compound; place one electron on each side before pairing determine total number of valence electrons
26
6.2 Drawing and Naming Lewis Electron-Dot Structures Drawing 2. Arrange atoms arrange structure to show bonding halogens and hydrogen usually make one bond at end of molecule carbon usually in center
27
6.2 Drawing and Naming Lewis Electron-Dot Structures Drawing 3. Distribute the dots so that each atom satisfies octet rule (except H, Be, B) 4. Draw the bonds as long dashes 5. Verify the structure by counting number of valence electrons
28
6.2 Drawing and Naming Lewis Electron-Dot Structures Polyatomic Ions use brackets [] to show overall charge example:
29
6.2 Drawing and Naming Lewis Electron-Dot Structures Multiple Bonds sharing two pairs of electrons is a double bond sharing three pairs of electrons makes triple bonds example:
30
6.2 Drawing and Naming Lewis Electron-Dot Structures Resonance Structures sometimes, multiple structures are possible show all possibilities example:
31
6.2 Drawing and Naming Naming Covalent Compounds First name: name of first element in formula usually least electronegative requires a prefix if more than one of them Second name: ends in –ide requires a prefix if more than one of them
32
Naming Covalent Compounds
33
6.3 Molecular Shapes Determining Molecular Shapes Three-dimensional shape helps determine physical and chemical properties valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory predicts molecular shapes based on idea that electrons repel one another
34
Molecular Shapes
35
6.3 Molecular Shapes Determining Molecular Shapes Let’s try some. CO CO 2 BF 3 CH 4 SnCl 2 SO 2
36
Simple Shapes
37
Trigonal Planar
38
Tetrahedral
39
Bent
40
6.3 Molecular Shapes Molecular Shape Affects Properties Shape affects polarity compare CO 2 and H 2 O polarity affects properties (such as boiling point) due to attractions between molecules
