How does bonding occur? • Chemical bonding – the combining of atoms of elements to form new substances. • The rules of chemical bonding are determined by the structure of the atom. The valence electrons determines if it will bond or not.
Bonding • If an atom has 8 valence electrons it is stable and will not bond • An atom with less than 8 valence electrons is unstable and will bond readily (easily) • The ability to bond determines its ability to undergo chemical reactions
Bonding Number of valence:What happens: 1, 2, 3 lose electrons 5,6,7 gain electrons 4 gain or lose 8 unresponsive.. Nada.. nothing • Ionic bonding – involves a transfer of electrons. One atom gains and the other one loses (metal and non-metal) Forms Ions – a charged atom (positive or negative). • Covalent bonding –They share electrons, rather than transfer. (Non-metal and non-metal), form molecules • Metallic bonding: metal and metal, electrons are able to fly off the energy levels
H + Cl = Sc + Hf = O + P = Which type of Bond is this?
Ionic Bonding • Ionic bonding – involves a transfer of electrons. One atom gains and the other one loses. • Ion – a charged atom (positive or negative). • Example: Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons and to become stable, it gains 1 electron to fill its outermost level and becomes a negative ion. Remember all atoms want 8 valence electrons METALS AND NON METALS BOND
Ionic Bonding Electron transfers to other atom
Covalent bonding • Covalent bonding – occurs between atoms that have high ionization energy (a lot of valence electrons) and high electron affinity (attracts electrons) • They share electrons, rather than transfer. “Co” means to share. • Simplest example: Hydrogen H : H
COVALENT BONDING Electrons are shared by both atoms
More about covalent bonds… • Covalent bonds form molecules. • A molecule is the smallest particle of a covalently bonded substance that shares all the properties of that substance. NONMETAL AND NONMETAL
Metallic Bonding • Metallic bonding – bond when the positive nuclei are surrounded by mobile electrons. (all attracted at the same time). This allows the metals to be heat conductors. • Referred to as the “sea of electrons” • This is when the electrons are able to come off of their electron orbits and move freely. METALS AND METALS
Vocabulary • Chemical bonding – the combining of atoms of elements to form new substances • Ion – a charged atom (positive or negative). • Ionization – the process of removing electrons to form ions. • The energy needed to remove the electrons is called ionization energy. • Electron affinity – the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. • Polyatomic ion – when two elements bond first covalently then through ionic bonding • Oxidation number – the number of electrons an atom gains or loses, or shares in a chemical bond. • Diatomic elements – form bonds with atoms of the same element.
