Chapter 4 Chemical Bonding L. Introduction to Chemical Bonding A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms, forming a more stable chemical compound. Types of Chemical Bonding, i. Ionic Bonding 1 ‘Chemical bonding results from the electrical attraction between a large ‘number of cations and anions (opposite charges attract each other) 2. Inpure ionic bonding, electrons are transferred between a metal and a non-metal ii, Covalent Bonding 1 2 3 ‘Chemical bonding results from the sharing of electron pairs between two non-metal atoms A non-polar covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally results froma balanced distribution of charge. A polar covalent bond in which electrons are not shared evenly results from an unbalanced distribution of charge. iii, Multiple Covalent Bonds 1 ‘A double bond isa covalent bond produced by the sharing of two pairs of clectrons between two atoms. It has higher bond energy and shorter bond. length than single bonds. 4, u N eed HT thene A triple bond is covalent bond produced by the sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms, Ithas higher bond energy anda shorter bond length than single or double bonds Ethyne H-C=c—H ‘The first bond in the multiple covalent bond is a sigma bond and the rest of them are pi bonds, Characteristics of Bonds onic Bonds 1. Metals bond to nonmetats, 2 One atom gains electrons and becomes a positive ion, and the other loses electrons to make a negative ion. Both become stable. 3._ Since opposite charges attract each other, the negative ion is attracted to the positive ion 4. Tonic bonds create crystal structures that can be fractured easily into smaller crystals, 5. Ionic bonds conduct electricity easily ina liquid, Covalent Bonds 1, Non-metals bond to non-metals. 2. Some atoms, especially those with 4 valence electrons, do not give away their electrons, They prefer to share their electrons with other atoms, 3. Each atom gains a full outer shell of electrons by sharing the total number of electrons with others, 4. Covalent bonds are stronger than ionic bonds. 5. Covalent bonds do not conduct electricity easily. Metallic Bonds ate the chemical bonds that form from the atiraction between, metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons. Metallic bonds ellow outer ‘electrons to move freely throughout the metal. Valence electrons de not belong toany particular atom. IO GAO AO AB gs Hag AB AO Ae Me Mg Ay Ae AD AD Ae Ae Me AIG AO y AO AO Ae A ee ‘Th Electron Seu Model of Metalic Bonds Metals bond to metals. The metal creates a pool of electrons that can be shared. ‘The more electrons that are shared in the pool, the stronger the bond is, Alkali metals can be cut with a knife ‘Transition metals are harder metals with more shared electrons, Metals are conductive, with lots of electrons available for electricity to flow. 7. Metals are malleable, which means they can be shaped with a hammer since their electrons are moveable. ogeeNn Section Practice 1.

The number of valence electrons foratoms in groups I through VII is equal to the group number. 2. The number of valence electrons for transition metal atoms is equal to the oxidation state of the atom. 3. Deduct one electron for each positive charge of the positive ion, 4. Add one electron for each negative charge of the negative ion. ii, Amange the atoms appropriately 1. The central atom is usually the least electronegative, and the molecule is usually symmetrical 2. The molecular formula is usually drawn indicating the order of atoms, i.e. CHsCNO and CHsNCO have a different order of the carbon and nitrogen atoms only. Adal lone pairs of electrons to satisfy the octet rule for each atom. Atoms from Period 2 (C, N, 0, F) and higher take eight electrons. Hydrogen (H), an atom from Period 1, takes two electrons instead of eight, iv, The total number of electrons in the structure is equal to two times the sum of the number of bonds and the nember of lone pairs vv, The Octet Rule: Chemical compounds terd to form so that each atom by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, hasan octet of electrons in its highest occupied energy level. ‘vi. Formal charge is equal to Number of Valence Electrons — Number of Lone Pair Flectrons — Number of Bonds 1. The sum of formal charges of the Lewis structure of a molecule or ion must be equal fo the net charge of the molecule or ion, 2. The most electronegative atom usually has a negative formal charge, hile the least electronegative atom usually has a positive formal charge, 3. If there is more than one Lewis structure, a resonance structure can be drawn for a compound. The formal charge closest to zero is the most acceptable structure. Example: Consider the thiocyanate ( CNS") ion: ‘There are three resonance structures as follows: =n of =c=8)), Fe oo oo ‘The structure Il is the most stable resonance structure because it has the lowest formal charge and its most electronegative atom, N, has a negative formal charge.

Molecular Geometry YVSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) Theory The shape of a molecule ean be predicted by assuming, that the regions of electron clensity around an atom will be as far apart as possible. This assumption, when applied to the valence electrons of a molecule, is called VSEPR Theory.
