1
Covalent Bonding Chapter 9 ~ most compounds, including those in living organisms, are covalently bonded
2
What You’ll Learn I will analyze the nature of a covalent bond I will name covalently bonded groups of atoms I will determine the shapes of molecules I will describe characteristics of covalent molecules I will compare and contrast polar and nonpolar molecules
3
The Covalent Bond (9.1) I will apply the octet rule to atoms that bond covalently I will describe the formation of single, double, and triple bonds I will relate the strength of covalent bonds to bond length and bond dissociation energy
4
Why do Atoms Bond? Noble gases Stable Unreactive Full outer energy level Metals + nonmetals Form ionic compounds Less common Ionic bonds Electrons transferred 1 atom gains 1 atom loses Nonmetal + nonmetal Form molecules type of compound More common Covalent bonds Electrons SHARED BOTH atoms need to GAIN
5
What is a Covalent Bond? Covalent Bond the chemical bond that results in the SHARING of valence electrons Shared electrons are part of the COMPLETE outer energy level of BOTH atoms involved Occur when elements are relatively close to each other on the periodic table Majority = nonmetal + nonmetal Molecule Formed when 2 or more atoms bond covalently
6
Formation of a Covalent Bond Diatomic molecules Hydrogen, H 2 Nitrogen, N 2 Oxygen, O 2 Fluorine, F 2 Chlorine, Cl 2 Bromine, Br 2 Iodine, I 2 More stable than individual atoms Covalently bonded Nucleus of one atom attracted to electrons of the other atom (and vice versa) Electrons of both atoms repel each other Nuclei of both atoms repel each other Point of maximum attraction attractive forces = repulsive forces Most stable arrangement Molecule forms
7
Formation of a Covalent Bond A: The atoms are too far away from each other to have noticeable attraction or repulsion B: Each nucleus attracts the other atom’s electron cloud, but the electron clouds repel each other C: The distance is right for the attraction of one atom’s protons for the other atom’s electrons to make the bond stable D: If the atoms are forced closer together, the nuclei and electrons repel
8
Single Covalent Bonds Lewis Structures Use electron-dot diagrams to show how electrons are arranged in molecules Single covalent bonds represented by A pair of dots or A line Two electrons shared by two nuclei belong to each atom simultaneously BOTH atoms atoms have noble gas configuration (full outer shell) H:H H—H
9
How Many Covalent Bonds? Group 5A Form 3 covalent bonds Share three electrons Group 4A Form 4 covalent bonds Share 4 electrons Group 7A Form one single covalent bond Share one electron Group 6A Form 2 covalent bonds Share two electrons H—H
10
Multiple Covalent Bonds Double Bond Two pairs of electrons are shared between 2 atoms Triple Bond Three pairs of electrons are shared between 2 atoms Molecules that share more than one pair of electrons between two atoms Form multiple covalent bonds Examples: Double bonds Triple bonds
11
Your Turn Draw the Lewis structure for each of these molecules PH 3 H 2 S HCl CCl 4 SiH 4
12
Strength of Covalent Bonds # shared electrons increases = bond length decreases Shorter bond length = stronger bond Single bonds < double bonds < triple bonds Single = weakest bonds Triple = strongest bonds Covalent bonds held together by balance of attraction & repulsion Balance upset = bond broken Bond Length Distance between 2 bonded nuclei at the position of maximum attraction (repulsion = attraction) Determined by Size of atoms # of electron pairs shared
13
Bond Dissociation Energy Sum of the bond dissociation energy values for ALL bonds in a compound = amount of chemical potential energy available in a molecule of that compound Related to bond length Short bond length = greater bond energy needed to separate the atoms The amount of energy required to break a specific bond Always a positive value Energy released = bond forms Energy added = bond breaks Hence…positive value!
14
Chemical Reactions Exothermic LESS energy added to break bonds (reactants) than to make the new bonds (products) Reactants + energy added = products – ENERGY released Endothermic GREATER energy added to break bonds (reactants) than to make the new bonds (products) Reactants + ENERGY added = products – energy released

16
Naming Molecules (9.2) I will identify the names of binary molecular compounds from their formulas I will name acidic solutions
17
Naming Binary Molecular Compounds Binary Molecular compounds Composed of 2 different nonmetals Do NOT contain metals or ions ① The first element in the formula is ALWAYS named first, using the entire element name. ② The second element in the formula is named using the root of the element and adding the suffix –ide. ③ Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each type that are present in the compound.
18
Naming Binary Molecular Compounds The most common prefixes Prefixes in Covalent Compounds Number of Atoms PrefixNumber of Atoms Prefix 1Mono-6Hexa- 2Di-7Hepta- 3Tri-8Octa- 4Tetra-9Nona- 5Penta-10Deca-
19
Naming Binary Molecular Compounds EXCEPTIONS ① The FIRST element in a formula NEVER uses the prefix mono- ② Drop the FINAL letter in the prefix when the element names begins with a vowel Example CO Carbon monoxide NOT carbon monooxide
20
Try it Name the following binary covalent compounds CCl 4 As 2 O 3 CO SO 2 NF 3 carbon tetrachloride diarsenic trioxide carbon monoxide sulfur dioxide nitrogen trifluoride
21
Common Names Formulas and Names of Some Covalent Compounds FormulaCommon NameMolecular Compound Name H20H20Waterdihydrogen oxide NH 3 Ammonianitrogen tetrahydride N2H4N2H4 Hydrazinedinitrogen tetrahydride H20H20Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) dinitrogen monoxide NONitric oxidenitrogen monoxide
22
Naming Acids Water solutions of some molecules are acidic and are named as acids Two types Binary acids oxyacids
23
Naming Binary Acids Binary acid Contains hydrogen and 1 other element ① Use prefix hydro- to name the hydrogen part of the compound ② The root of the second element plus the suffix –ic ③ The word acid Examples HBrhydrobromic acid HCNhydrocyanic acid
24
Naming Oxyacids Oxyacid An acid that contains an oxyanion Hydrogen + oxyanion ① Identify oxyanion present ( from your polyatomic ion purple sheet) ② If the oxyanion ends in –ate, replace with the suffix –ic ③ If the oxyanion ends in –ite, replace with –ous ④ The word acid
25
Naming Oxyacids The hydrogen of an oxyacid is NOT part of the name Examples HNO 3 nitric acid HNO 2 nitrous acid
26
Try it Name the following acids. Assume each compound is dissolved in water. HI HClO 3 HClO 2 H 2 SO 4 H 2 s Hydroiodic acid chloric acid chlorous acid sulfuric acid hydrosulfuric acid
27
Writing Formulas From Names Subscripts are determined from the prefixes used in the name Why? The name indicates the exact number of each atom present in the molecule The formula from an acid can be derived from the name as well
