Presentation Transcript

  1. General Discussion of Ionic and Covalent Bonding In addition to these slides, check out page 304 (Brown, Lemay, etc 12th edition) as well as: http://edtech2.boisestate.edu/lindabennett1/502/Compounds%20and%20Naming/Ionic%20vs%20covalent.html. Look at the videos about ionic and covalent bonding.

  2. Ionic vs Covalent Bonding • Ionic: electron(s) leave one atom & gained by another atom to satisfy both atoms’ octets, this results in the formation of ions. The resulting opposite charges attract each other. • Covalent: electrons are shared by two or more atoms to satisfy their octets.

  3. How can you tell if a bond is IONIC or COVALENT? • Subtract the two electronegativity values (look at an electronegativity chart p. 299). >1.7 to 4.0: Ionic >0.4 to 1.7: Polar Covalent 0.0 to 0.4: Non-Polar Covalent • Electronegativity: atom’s ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. (higher electronegativity means the atom wants electrons more)

  4. How can you tell if a bond is IONIC or COVALENT? • Easy way: All metals = metallic bond Nonmetals and Metals = ionic bond All nonmetals = covalent bond

  5. Yes, there are 2 kinds of covalent bonds! • Polar covalent: the electrons are shared, but one atom is pulling on the electrons a lot more. The electrons spend more time around that atom. • Nonpolar covalent: the electrons are evenly shared between the two atoms.

  6. O(3.5) – H (2.1) = 1.4Polar covalent bond

  7. The closer the elements are on the periodic table, their electronegativities are more similar… more likely to form covalent bonds • Farther away… greater difference in electronegativity… more likely to form ionic bonds. • Metal + nonmetal = usually ionic • Nonmetal + nonmetal = usually covalent.
