• Characterized by two electrons in the valence shell of helium
and eight electrons in the valence-shell electrons for the other
members of the group (Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn)

Determining Valence-Shell Electrons
• Involves writing an electronic configuration for the atom and
identifying the valence electrons as those with the highest n
value
• Simpler alternative for representative elements
• Referring to the periodic table and noting that the number
of valence-shell electrons in the atoms of an element is the
same as the number of the group in the periodic table to
which the element belongs
• Number of valence electrons is the same as the Roman
numeral group number

Valence Electrons Examples
• Calcium, Ca
• Belongs to group IIA
• Number of valence electrons is 2
• Phosphorus, P
• Belongs to group VA
• Number of valence electrons is 5

Example 4.2 - Drawing Lewis Structures
• Draw Lewis structures for atoms of the following:
• Element number 4
• Cesium (Cs)
• Accepted procedure is to write the element's symbol and put
a dot for each valence electron in one of four equally spaced
locations around the symbol
• Imagine a square around the symbol
• Each side of the square represents one of the four locations
• Element with four valence electrons would have one dot in
each of the four locations
• Fifth electron would be represented by one additional dot in
one of the locations
• Each location can have a maximum of two dots

Example 4.2 - Solution
• Element number 4 is beryllium
• Belongs to group IIA(2) and thus has two valence-shell
electrons
• Lewis structure - Be

• Cesium is in group IA(1), has one valence-shell electron, and


has the Lewis structure Cs

electron arrangement identical to that of a noble gas
• Arrangement usually consists of eight electrons in the
valence shell
• Simple ion: Atom that has acquired a net positive or negative
charge by losing or gaining electrons

form a simple ion with a +2 electrical charge
• Ion is written as Mg2+
• Oxygen, O, has six valence electrons

Determining Ionic Charges for Representative
Elements
• Representative metals will form ions having the same positive
charge as the number (Roman numeral) of the group to which
they belong
• Representative nonmetals will form ions with a negative
charge equal to 8 minus the number (Roman numeral) of the
group to which they belong
• For example, strontium, Sr, a group IIA metal forms Sr2+ ions
and phosphorus, P, a group VA nonmetal forms P3– ions

Ionic Bond Formation
• Ions with positive charges are attracted to ions with negative
charges
• Attractive force between such ions holds them together
• Ionic bonds form between simple ions when representative
metal atoms lose valence electrons and the electrons are
gained by representative nonmetal atoms
• Both atoms are changed into ions with noble gas
configurations
• Resulting ions are then attracted to each other

Example 4.4 - Solution
• Electronic structure of sodium (Na) is represented below
using an abbreviated configuration and a Lewis structure
[Ne]3s1 and Na 
• First representation makes it obvious that the Ne configuration
with 8 electrons in the valence shell would result if the Na
atom lost the single electron located in the 3s subshell
• Loss is represented by the following equation

Na 
• Notice that the removal of aNa
+
+ negative
single 1e electron from a

neutral Na atom leaves the atom with 11 positive protons in


the nucleus and 10 negative electrons

• Type of bond in which the octet rule is satisfied when atoms
share valence electrons
• Shared electrons are counted in the octet of each atom that
shares them as illustrated below for fluorine, (F2)

• Attractive force that results between two atoms that are both

Approach to Draw Lewis Structure
• Step 1 - Use the molecular formula to determine how many
atoms of each type are in the molecule
• Step 2 - Use the given connecting pattern of atoms to draw an
initial structure for the molecule, with the atoms arranged
properly
• Step 3 - Determine the total number of valence-shell electrons
contained in the atoms of the molecule
• Step 4
• Put one pair of electrons between each bonded pair of
atoms in the initial structure drawn in step 2
• Subtract the number of electrons used in this step from the
total number determined in step 3

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Approach to Draw Lewis Structure (continued)
• Use the remaining electrons to complete the octets of all
other atoms in the structure, beginning with the atoms that
are present in greatest number in the molecule
• Remember, hydrogen atoms require only one pair of
electrons to achieve the electronic configuration of helium
• Step 5
• If all octets cannot be satisfied with the available electrons,
move nonbonding pairs (those that are not between
bonded atoms) to positions between bonded atoms to
complete octets
• This will create double or triple bonds between some
atoms

Example 4.11 - Drawing Lewis Structures
• Draw a Lewis structure for SO3

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.11 - Solution
• Step 1 - Formula indicates that one sulfur (S) and three
oxygen (O) atoms are in the molecule
• Step 2 - Each O atom is bonded only to the S atom
• Thus, the following arrangement is drawn:
O S O
O
• Step 3 - Sulfur and oxygen are both in group VIA (16), and so
each atom has six valence electrons
• Total is 24 (six from the one S atom and 18 from the three
O atoms)

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.11 - Solution (continued 1)
• Step 4 - One pair of electrons is put between each O atom and
the S atom of the arrangement drawn in step 2

• This required six of the 24 available electrons


• Remaining 18 are used to complete the octets of the atoms,
beginning with the O atoms

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.11 - Solution (continued 2)
• Step 5
• It is seen that the octet of sulfur is not completed, even
though all available electrons have been used
• If one nonbonding pair from any of the three O atoms is
moved to a location between the O and the S atoms, it will
help satisfy the octet of both atoms
• Resulting correct Lewis structure contains one double
bond (two shared pairs) between the S and one of the
O atoms

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.11 - Solution (continued 3)
• If a nonbonding pair of electrons from either of the other
two oxygen atoms is used, it results in the following

Polyatomic Ions
• Covalently bonded groups of atoms that carry a net electrical
charge
• Common polyatomic ions are negatively charged
• Lewis structures can be drawn using the same steps that are
used for covalent molecules with one charge
• In Step 3, the total number of electrons available is
obtained by first determining the total number of valence-
shell electrons contained in the atoms of the ion
• To this number are added electrons representing the
number required to give the negative charge to the ion

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Shapes of Molecules and Polyatomic Ions
• Most molecules and polyatomic do not have flat, two-
dimensional shapes but have distinct three-dimensional
shapes
• VSEPR theory
• Valence-shell electron-pair repulsion theory
• Theory based on the mutual repulsion of electron pairs
• Used to predict molecular shapes
• Central atom - Any atom in a molecule or ion that is bonded to
two or more other atoms
• When the VSEPR theory is applied to the valence-shell
electrons of the central atom in a molecule or ion, the shape
of the molecule or ion can be predicted

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Rules Followed in VSEPR Theory
• All valence-shell electron pairs around the central atom are
counted equally, regardless of whether they are bonding or
nonbonding pairs
• Double or triple bonds between atoms are treated like a single
pair of electrons when predicting shapes

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Electron Pair Arrangements
• Arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom (E)
depends on the number of electron pairs
• Two pairs locate opposite each other
• Three pairs arrange themselves in a flat triangle around
the central atom
• Four pairs become located at the four corners of a
pyramid-like shape called a tetrahedron
• VSEPR theory can be used to predict shapes of molecules
and ions with five or more pairs on the central atom

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.13 - Applications of VSEPR Theory
• Draw Lewis structures for the following molecules, apply the
VESPR theory, and predict the shape of each molecule
• CO2 (each O atom is bonded to the C atom)
• NH3 (each H atom is bonded to the N atom)

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.13 - Solution
• Lewis structure drawn is
• Central atom is carbon (C) and it has two pairs of electrons in
the valence shell surrounding it
• Each double bond counts as a single electron pair and
thus the central atom behaves as if it has two pairs of
electrons around it
• Two pairs will be located on opposite sides of the C atom, so
the molecule has the shape drawn above with the O, C, and
O atoms arranged in a line and the molecule is linear

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.13 - Solution (continued 1)
• Lewis structure is:

• Central atom is nitrogen (N), and it has four electron pairs in


the valence shell
• Four pairs will be located at the corners of a tetrahedron with
the N atom in the middle:

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.13 - Solution (continued 2)
• Shape of the molecule is determined only by the positions of
the atoms, not by the positions of the unshared electron pair
• Thus, the NH3 molecule has the shape of a pyramid with a
triangular base
• The N atom is at the peak of the
pyramid, and an H atom is at each
corner of the base:

Polarity of Molecules and Electronegativity
• Polar covalent bond: Bonding electrons are shared
unequally
• Nonpolar covalent bond: Bonding pair of electrons is shared
equally by the bonded atoms
• Electronegativity: Tendency of an atom to attract shared
electrons of a covalent bond
• Electrons of a covalent bond are attracted toward atoms of
highest electronegativity
• Bond polarization: Result of shared electrons being attracted
to the more electronegative atom of a bonded pair of atoms

electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge (δ–),
and the less electronegative atom acquires a partial positive
charge (δ+)

Compounds
• SO2
• Name = Sulfur + di- + ox + -ide = Sulfur dioxide
• XeF6
• Name = Xenon + hexa- + fluor + -ide = Xenon hexafluoride
• H2O
• Name = Di- + hydrogen + mono- + ox + -ide = Dihydrogen
monoxide
• Known as water
• Final o of mono- was dropped for ease of pronunciation

Ionic Compounds Containing Polyatomic
Ions
• Rules for writing formulas and names for ionic compounds
containing polyatomic ions are essentially the same as those
used for writing formulas and names for binary ionic
compounds
• Formula
• Metal is written first, the positive and negative charges
must add up to zero, and parentheses are used around
the polyatomic ion if more than one is used
• Name
• Positive metal ion is given first followed by the name of
the negative polyatomic ion name

Na3PO4 Mg3 PO4 2 NH4 3 PO4

Naming Ionic Compounds Containing Polyatomic
Anions
• Names of ionic compounds that contain a polyatomic anion
are obtained using the following pattern:
• Name = Name of metal + Name of polyatomic anion
• Examples
• KClO3 is named potassium chlorate
• Ca(ClO3)2 is named calcium chlorate
• Ca3(PO4)2 is named calcium phosphate
• CaHPO4 is named calcium hydrogen phosphate

Example 4.17 - Naming Binary Covalent
Compounds
• Name the following binary covalent compounds:
• N2O5
• CS2

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.17 - Solution
• N2O5 is assigned the name dinitrogen pentoxide
• The a is dropped from the penta- prefix for oxygen to avoid
the pronunciation problem created by having two vowels
next to each other in a name (dinitrogen pentaoxide)
• CS2 is named carbon disulfide

Example 4.18 - Writing Compound
Formulas and Names
• Write formulas and names for compounds composed of ions
of the following metals and polyatomic ions indicated:
• Na and NO3–
• K and HPO42–

© 2018 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.


Example 4.18 - Solution
• Sodium (Na) is a group IA(1) metal and forms Na+ ions
• Electrical neutrality requires a combining ratio of one Na+
for one NO3–
• Formula is NaNO3
• Name is given by the metal plus the polyatomic ion name,
sodium nitrate
• Potassium (K) is a group IA(1) metal and forms K+ ions
• Required combining ratio of 2:1 gives the formula K2HPO4
• Name is potassium hydrogen phosphate

Interparticle Forces
• Ionic and covalent bonds represent two of the forces that
occur between atomic-sized particles and hold the particles
together to form matter
• Other forces exist that hold the particles of some types of
matter together
• Metallic bonding
• Dipolar forces
• Hydrogen bonding
• Dispersion forces

Interparticle Forces (continued 1)
• Network solids: Solids in which the lattice sites are occupied
by atoms that are covalently bonded to each other
• Example - SiO2 and diamond
• Metallic bond: Attractive force responsible for holding solid
metals together
• Originates from the attraction between positively charged
atomic kernels that occupy lattice sites and mobile
electrons that move freely through the lattice
• Dipolar force: Attractive force that exists between the
positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of
another

Interparticle Forces (continued 2)
• Hydrogen bonding: Result of attractive dipolar forces
between molecules in which hydrogen atoms are covalently
bonded to very electronegative atoms (O, N, or F)
• Dispersion forces
• Very weak attractive forces acting between the particles of
all matter
• Result from momentary nonsymmetric electron
distributions in molecules or atoms
