Bonding – What holds atoms together? Octet rule: To form bonds, atoms gain, lose, or share e- to achieve a valence shell of 8 (or isoelectronic with a noble gas). • Ionic bond – an electrostatic attraction between a cation and an anion that forms when electrons transfer from one atom to another. • Covalent (Molecular) bond – the net attractive force that results from the sharing of electrons between atoms.
: . : Cl : Ionic Bonds An ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom (metal with low EA) to another (nonmetal with high EA). The resultant ions are held together by electrostatic attraction. Na . [Ne]3s1 [Ne]3s23p5 Na+ Cl- [Ne] [Ne]3s23p6 = [Ar] Each atom has satisfied the octet rule.

Attraction Stable bond Repulsion Covalent Bonding - G.N. Lewis (1916) Some atoms share e- to form bonds. When two nonmetals bond, they often share electrons since they have similar attractions (EA) for them. This sharing of valence electrons is called the covalent bond. • Number of bonds = Number shared e- pairs.

H H : : : : C C : : H H Multiple Bonds In the molecules described so far, each of the bonds has been a single bond, that is, a covalent bond in which a single pair of electrons is shared. • It is possible to share more than one pair. A double bond involves the sharing of two pairs between atoms. C has octet. H OK with 2. or
::: H H C C or : : Multiple Bonds Triple bonds are covalent bonds in which three pairs of electrons are shared between atoms. Elements that form multiple bonds: C, O , N, S
The Procedure • Using the molecular formula, count the total number of valence electrons available (bonding + lone pairs). • Valence electrons for each atom corresponds to group # • Adjust for charge (add electron for each minus, delete electron for each plus) 2(1) + 6 3(1) + 6 - 1
The Procedure • Make a skeleton by connecting the atoms with single bonds only. When connecting atoms, remember… • Put the least electronegative atom in the center. (Usually the first listed in the chemical formula.) • Hydrogen is ALWAYS a terminal atom. More electronegative atoms are terminal (F, O…) • Make the structure symmetric. 4 pairs 4 pairs 2 pairs left 1 pair left
The Procedure • Put the left over electrons as lone pairs, preferably on the more electronegative atoms Is the octet rule satisfied? • If YES, then you’re done…
The Procedure • If you are electron-deficient(not enough electrons to complete an octet), then some atoms must share more than two electrons. “If you have a lone pair, make those two atoms share.” • Ex. C2H4
The Procedure • If you have excess electrons, at least one atom must have an expanded valence • Must be element from third period or lower • Usually the central atom • e.g. SF4
General Rule • The total number of valence electrons on an atom (from bonds & lone pairs) cannot exceed that atom’s maximum valence. • First period: 2 electrons (s) • Second period: 8 electrons (s,p) • Third period & below: prefer to have 8, but can expand when necessary (s,p,d)

Question no no no no no • First evaluate the total valence electrons: • 24 e- • 26 e-, wrong • 24 e-, looks OK • 24 e-, one F has too many • 24 e-, N not enough • 24 e-, but least electronegative has to be in the center • 24 e-, no bond between two N.

Formal Charge and Lewis Structures In certain instances, more than one feasible Lewis structure can be illustrated for a molecule. For example, : : H C N H N C or The concept of “formal charge” can help us decide which structure is correct.
Formal Charge and Lewis Structures formal charge = valence e- before bonding– valence e- after bonding = valence e- - [1/2 bonding e- + lone pair e-] : : H C N H N C or H: 1-½(2) = 0 H: 1-½(2) = 0 C: 4 - ½(8) = 0 C: 4 – (½(6)+2) = -1 N: 5 – (½(8) + 2) = 0 N: 5 – (½(8)) = +1
formal charges : : H C N H N C or 0 0 0 0 +1 -1 Formal Charge and Lewis Structures • Smaller formal charges are more favorable • More electronegative (or higher EA) atom should have negative formal charges • Like charges should not be on adjacent atoms • Net formal charge should be the overall charge on the molecule/ion.

O O O Delocalized Bonding: Resonance According to theory, one pair of bonding electrons is spread (delocalized) over the region of all three atoms. • In fact, the actual bond length is 127.8 pm (in between 132 and 112pm). • The actual molecule is a hybrid or composite structure and not different structures that change back and forth… although, we often represent it that way.

“All covalent bonds are created equal but some are more equal than others.” (We assumed equal sharing when we calculated formal charge.)
Electronegativity… …is a measure of the ability of an atom in a molecule to draw bonding electrons to itself when bonded. Periodic Trend - Electronegativity increases across a period decreases down a group
Electronegativity Notice, there are NO values for EN for the noble gases.
