Chemistry Unit 5 Chemical Bonding
Why Do Atoms Bond? • To become more stable • like the noble gases. • Octet Rule – atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons in order to acquire a full set of valence electrons. (usually 8)
Three Main Types of Bonds • Ionic Bond – Atoms transfer electrons to fill their valence shells, oppositely charged ions are formed, opposites attract. • Occurs between a metal and a nonmetal • Covalent Bond – Atoms share electrons to fill their valence shells. • Occurs between nonmetals • Metallic Bonds – Atoms share a “sea of electrons.” • Occurs between metal atoms
Ionic Bonding • Ion – a charged particle • A neutral atom becomes an ion when it loses or gains an electron. • If an atom loses an electron, it becomes a (+) ion called a cation. • If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a (-) ion called an anion.
Ionic Bonding • Example Na Cl To become more stable, sodium must lose one electron To become more stable, chlorine must gain one electron
Cl Na Ionic Bonding • Example Sodium loses an electron and becomes an Na+1 ion. Chlorine gains an electron and becomes a Cl-1 ion. Opposites attract, and an ionic compound is formed… NaCl
Try Another Example Br Al Aluminum will become more stable if it gets rid of three electrons. Bromine will become more stable if it receives one electron. Are both atoms more stable as a result of this transefer? No, Al must donate two more… where?
Br Br Br Al Aluminum & Bromine Now, each atom has a full valence shell… all are more stable.
Br Br Br Al Aluminum and Bromine Aluminum donated 3 e-, so it becomes Al+3 Each bromine accepted 1 e-, so they each become Br-1 The compound that forms is AlBr3
Let’s Wrap it Up • Ionic bonds are held together by electrostatic forces. • The result of an ionic bond is called an ionic compound. • Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal atom due to large differences in electronegativity. (1.7 or greater) • The nonmetal’s EN is so much greater than the metal’s EN that it removes the metal’s valence electron. Electrons are transferred.
For Example: Na and Cl EN of Na = 0.9 EN of Cl = 3.0
Why does Sodium and Oxygen form an ionic bond? 3.0 EN of O - 0.9 EN of Na 2.1 Difference in EN • Difference in electronegativity is 2.1(>1.7) • An ionic bond will form. • Chlorine has a greater electronegativity, and is able to yank electrons away from sodium.
Covalent Bonding O O Each atom of Oxygen needs two more electrons to become more stable. They will share two pairs of electrons. A diatomic molecule of oxygen is formed. O2
H H O Try another example Each atom of hyd rogen needs one more electron to become more stable. Oxygen needs two electrons to become more stable. All atoms become more stable (have full valence shells). A molecule of water is made. H2O
Let’s Wrap it Up… Again! • Covalent bonds are held together by a mutual need for the shared electrons (electronegativity) Their orbits overlap. Each electron is attracted to the positive charge of the opposite nucleus. • The result of a covalent bond is called a molecule. • Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals due to a small (or no) difference in EN. (less than 1.7) • Neither atom’s EN is strong enough to remove the other atom’s electrons. Electrons are shared.
Polar and Nonpolar Covalent Bonds • If one nonmetal has a greater EN than the other, it can “hog” the shared electrons. This forms a POLAR covalent bond. (EN difference greater than 0, but less than 1.7) • If the nonmetals have the same EN, they will share equally and form NON POLAR covalent bond. (0 diff. in EN)
For Example: N and O EN of O = 3.5 EN of N = 3.0
Why does Nitrogen and Oxygen form a Covalent Bond? 3.5 EN of Oxygen • 3.0 EN of Nitrogen 0.5 = difference in EN Difference in EN is less than 1.7, therefore a covalent bond will form. Difference in EN is greater than 0, therefore the covalent bond will be polar. (Unequal sharing of e-)
One Final Example If Chlorine bonds with Chlorine (a diatomic molecule), the difference in EN would be “0”, thus a nonpolar covalent bond will form. (Equal sharing of e-)
O C O Molecular Geometry • Linear molecules: atoms are connected in a straight line. • All molecules with only 2 atoms are linear. • Many molecules with 3 atoms are also linear. • Ex. O2, HCl, CO2
O Molecular Geometry • Bent: bonded atoms have a bent shape due to unshared pairs of electrons. • Unshared electron pairs exert a greater repulsion force than the electron pairs in the bonds. • Ex. H2O, NH3 H H
Molecular Geometry • Tetrahedral: one atom bonded to four other atoms. • The angle between any two bonds is 109.5o. • Ex. CH4 (methane) H C H H H
