Bonding and Molecular Structure: Fundamental Concepts Chapter 9 Chapter 9
Valence Electrons • The electrons involved in bonding are called valence electrons. • Valence electrons are found in the incomplete, outermost orbital shell of an atom. • We can represent the electrons as dots around the symbol for the element. • These pictorial representations are called Lewis Structures or Lewis Dot Structures. Chapter 9
Lewis Symbols and the Octet Rule Chapter 9
Chemical Bond Formation • There are three types of chemical bonds • Ionic Bond - electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge (NaCl). • Covalent Bond - sharing of electrons between two atoms (Cl2). • Metallic Bond - sharing of electrons between several atoms (Ag). Chapter 9
Ionic Bonding Consider the reaction between sodium and chlorine: Na(s) + ½Cl2(g) NaCl(s) Chapter 9
Ionic Bonding • Na(s) + ½Cl2(g) NaCl(s) DH°f = -410.9 kJ • This reaction is very exothermic • Sodium loses an electron to become Na+ • Chlorine gains an electron to become Cl- • Na+ has an Ne electron configuration and Cl- has an Ar configuration Chapter 9
Ionic Bonding • Energetics of Ionic Bond Formation • Lattice Energy (Hlattice) – The energy required to completely separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions. • Lattice energy depends on • the charge on the ions • the size of the ions • Coulomb’s equation: • Q1, Q2 = charge on ions • k = 8.99 x 109 J-m/c2 • d = distance between ions Chapter 9
Covalent Bonding When similar atoms bond, they share pairs of electrons to each obtain an octet. Example a pair of electrons connect the two nuclei. Chapter 9
Covalent Bonding • Multiple Bonds • It is possible for more than one pair of electrons to be shared between two atoms (multiple bonds) • One shared pair of electrons - single bond (H2) • Two shared pairs of electrons - double bond (O2) • Three shared pairs of electrons - triple bond (N2). • Generally, bond distances decrease as we move from single through double to triple bonds. Chapter 9
Lewis Symbols and the Octet Rule Octet rule – Atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons until they are surrounded by eight valence electrons. Chapter 9
Drawing Lewis Structures • Draw a skeleton structure of the molecule or ion showing the arrangement of the atoms and the connect each atom to another with a single bond. • Determine the total number of valence elections in the molecule or ion. • Deduct 2 electrons for each single bond used in step 1. • Distribute the rest of the electrons so that each atom (except H) has 8 electrons. • If you are “short” electrons, form multiple bonds • If you have “extra” electrons, one of the heavy atoms may be able to hold more that eight electrons.

Drawing Lewis Structures Isoelectronic Species Molecules or ions having the same number of valence electrons and the same Lewis structure. Chapter 9
Drawing Lewis Structures • Resonance Structures • Some molecules are not well described by Lewis Structures. • Example: Ozone Chapter 9
Drawing Lewis Structures Resonance Structures - Experimentally, ozone has two identical bonds whereas the Lewis Structure requires one single and one double bond. Chapter 9
Drawing Lewis Structures • Resonance Structures • Resonance structures are attempts to represent a real structure that is a mix between several extreme possibilities. • Each Lewis structure is call a Resonance Form • Resonance Form – Two or more Lewis structures having the same arrangements of atoms but a different arrangement of electrons Chapter 9
Drawing Lewis Structures • Resonance Structures • In ozone the resonance forms have one double and one single bond. • The actual structure of O3 is a combination (or average) of the individual forms called a resonance hybrid. Chapter 9
Exceptions to the Octet Rule • There are three classes of exceptions to the octet rule: • Molecules with an odd number of electrons • Molecules in which one atom has less than an octet • Molecules in which one atom has more than an octet Chapter 9
Exceptions to the Octet Rule • Odd Number of Electrons • there are few molecules which fit this category • Examples. ClO2, NO, and NO2 Chapter 9
Exceptions to the Octet Rule • Less than an Octet • This refers to the central molecule • Typical for compounds of Groups 1A, 2A, and 3A. • Examples: LiH, BeH2, BF3 Chapter 9
Exceptions to the Octet Rule • More than an Octet • This starts for atoms in the 3rd period onwards. • This is due to vacant d orbitals which can hold the “extra” electrons. • Another factor is the size of the central atom, as they get bigger, it gets easier to place additional atoms around the central atom. Chapter 9
Molecular Shapes Lewis structures give atomic connectivity (which atoms are connected to which). Chapter 9
Molecular Shapes Molecular Shapes are determined by: Bond Distance – Distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms along a straight line. Bond Angle – The angle between any two bonds containing a common atom. Chapter 9
Molecular Shapes Chapter 9
Molecular Shapes Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) - VSEPR theory is based on the idea that electrostatic repulsion of the electrons are reduced to a minimum when the various regions of high electron density assume positions as far apart as possible. Chapter 9
Molecular Shapes • Predicting Molecular Geometries • draw the Lewis structure • count the total number of bonding regions and lone pairs around the central atom • arrange the bonding regions and lone pairs in one of the standard geometries to minimize e--e- repulsion • multiple bonds count as one bonding region Chapter 9
Molecular Shapes Predicting Molecular Geometries Common Configuration for saturated molecules. Chapter 9
Molecular Shapes • The “region of electron density” refers to: • Lone pairs • Covalent bonds (single, double, triple) • Remember, you can’t “see” lone-pairs but they do take-up space. Chapter 9

Charge Distribution • Formal Charge • Used to predict the correct Lewis Structure. • Half of the electrons in a bond are assigned to each atom in a bond. • Both electrons of an unshared pair of electrons are assigned to the atoms to which the unshared pair belong. • The formal charge of an atom is equal to the valence electrons minus the number of electrons assigned to each atom. • Formal Charge = (group number) – (assigned electrons) • The sum of the formal charges will equal the charge on the molecule or polyatomic ion. Chapter 9
Charge Distribution • Using Formal Charge • A Lewis structure in which all formal charges in a molecule are equal to zero is preferable to one in which some formal charges are not zero. • If a Lewis structure has non-zero formal charges, the one with the fewest nonzero formal charges is preferred. • A Lewis structure with one large formal charge is preferable to one with several small formal charges. • A Lewis structure with adjacent formal charges should have opposite signs. • When choosing between several Lewis structures, the structure with negative formal charges on the more electronegative atom is preferable. Chapter 9
Bond Polarity and Electronegativity • Electrons in a covalent bond may not be shared evenly. • Electronegativity – The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself. • - The periodic trend for electronegativity is up and to the right across the periodic table. Chapter 9
Bond Polarity and Electronegativity Electronegativity Chapter 9
Bond Polarity and Electronegativity • Electronegativity and Bond Polarity • A chemical bond between elements with large differences in eletronegativity will shift the electrons to the atom with the higher electronegativity. • The positive end (or pole) in a polar bond is represented + and the negative pole -. • This is called a polar covalent bond. • If the electronegativity difference is small, the bond is nonpolar; if it is large, it is a polar bond. Chapter 9
Polarity of Molecules • To determine if a molecule is polar, you need to know two things: • - polarity of the bonds in a molecule • - how the bonds are arranged • A molecule is considered polar if its center of negative and positive charge do not coincide. • Polar molecules have a dipole (a vector quantity) • If these dipoles act equally and in opposition to each other, the dipoles cancel-out and the molecule is considered nonpolar. Chapter 9
Polarity of Molecules Dipole Moments of Polyatomic Molecules Example: CO2, each C-O dipole is canceled because the molecule is linear. H2O, the H-O dipoles do not cancel because the molecule is bent. Chapter 9
Polarity of Molecules • Dipole Moments of Polyatomic Molecules • Two simple rules to help determine molecular polarity (most of the time) • If there are lone pairs on the central atom – the molecule is polar. • If there is more than one type of bond on the central atom – the molecule is polar. Chapter 9
Polarity of Molecules Dipole Moments of Polyatomic Molecules Chapter 9
Strengths of Covalent Bonds • Bond Enthalpy (Energy) - The energy required to break a covalent bond of a gaseous substance. • Cl2(g) 2Cl(g) DH = DCl-Cl • When more than one bond is broken the bond enthalpy is a fraction of H for the atomization reaction : • CH4(g) C(g) + 4H(g) H = 1660 kJ • DC-H = ¼H = ¼(1660 kJ) = 415 kJ. • Bond enthalpies can either be positive or negative. Chapter 9
Strengths of Covalent Bonds Chapter 9
Strengths of Covalent Bonds • Bond Enthalpies and the Enthalpies of Reaction • Bond enthalpies can be used to calculate Hrxn. • Hrxn = D(bonds broken) -D(bonds formed). Chapter 9
Bond Enthalpies and the Enthalpies of Reaction Hrxn = [1mol(614kJ/mol)+1mol(146kJ/mol)]-[2mol(358kJ/mol)+1mol(348kJ/mol)] = -304 kJ Chapter 9
Bond Enthalpies and the Enthalpies of Reaction Hrxn = [2(3mol(200kJ/mol))]-[1mol(941kJ/mol)+3mol(242kJ/mol)] = -467 kJ Chapter 9
