Chapter 4 Covalent bonding
How does H2O form? • Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. • Does Hydrogen give up its one electron?
+ + How about H2? • The nuclei repel because of positive charges • But they are attracted to electrons • They share the electrons
Covalent Bonds • Formed by the attraction of two atoms for a shared pair of electrons. • Neither atom will have a charge. • Molecule - an uncharged group of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.
Covalent Bonds • Do nonmetals gain or lose electrons to attain noble gas configuration? • Can two or more nonmetals form a bond? YES!
How? BY SHARING ELECTRONS
F Covalent bonding • Fluorine has seven valence electrons
F F Covalent bonding • Fluorine has seven valence electrons • A second atom also has seven
F F Covalent bonding • Fluorine has seven valence electrons • A second atom also has seven • By sharing electrons

Single Covalent Bond • A sharing of two valence electrons. • Occurs between nonmetals and Hydrogen. • Form molecules, NOT ionic compounds.
How to show how they formed • It’s like a jigsaw puzzle. • I have to tell you what the final formula will be. • You put the pieces together to end up with the right formula.
H O Water Each hydrogen has 1 valence electron Each hydrogen wants 1 more The oxygen has 6 valence electrons The oxygen wants 2 more They share to make each other happy
O Water • Put the pieces together • The first hydrogen is happy • The oxygen still wants one more H
O Water • The second hydrogen attaches • Every atom has full energy levels H H
Multiple Covalent Bonds Atoms can share more than one pair of electrons - single covalent bonds (2 e-) - double covalent bonds (4e-) - triple covalent bonds (6e-)
O Carbon dioxide • CO2- Carbon is central atom( I have to tell you) • Carbon has 4 valence electrons • Wants 4 more • Oxygen has 6 valence electrons • Wants 2 more C
O Carbon dioxide • Attaching 1 oxygen leaves the oxygen 1 short and the carbon 3 short C
O O Carbon dioxide • Attaching the second oxygen leaves both oxygen 1 short and the carbon 2 short C
O O Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more C
O O Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more C
O Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more O C
O Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more O C
O Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more O C
Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more O C O
Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more • Requires two double bonds • Each atom gets to count all the atoms in the bond O C O
Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more • Requires two double bonds • Each atom gets to count all the atoms in the bond 8 valence electrons O C O
Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more • Requires two double bonds • Each atom gets to count all the atoms in the bond 8 valence electrons O C O
Carbon dioxide • The only solution is to share more • Requires two double bonds • Each atom gets to count all the atoms in the bond 8 valence electrons O C O
How to draw them • Add up all the valence electrons. • This is the number you have to work with • Use the guess and check method until all atoms have 8 electrons (except H and He) • Some electrons will be shared
Examples • NH3 – N is central • N - has 5 valence electrons • H - has 1 valence electrons N H
Examples • HCN C is central atom • N - has 5 valence electrons • C - has 4 valence electrons • H - has 1 valence electrons • Total of 10 electrons
Another way of indicating bonds • Often use a line to indicate a bond • Called a structural formula • Each line is 2 valence electrons H O H H O H
Structural Examples • C has 8 electrons because each line is 2 electrons • Ditto for N • Ditto for C here • Ditto for O H C N H C O H
Interparticle Forces • Forces in molecular compounds are weaker than those in ionic compounds.
Molecular Compounds • Usually not soluble in water • Do not conduct electricity well (Why not?) • Usually liquids or gases at room temperature
