Covalent Bonds • covalent combination of prefix co- (Latin - “together”), valere, - “to be strong” • 2 e-’s shared have strength to hold 2 atoms together • particle called a “molecule”
Molecules • Some elements in nature are molecules: • neutral group of atomscovalently bonded • Ex. - air contains O molecules, 2 O atoms joined covalently • Called “diatomic molecule” (O2)
+ + + + How does H2 form? (diatomic hydrogen molecule) • The nuclei repel each other, (both have + charge)
+ + How does H2 form? • nuclei attraction to e-’s stronger than repulsion of nuclei • e-’s shared • covalent bond • Only NONMETALS!
Covalent bonds • Nonmetals hold valence e-’s • don’t give away e-’s • still want NGC • share valence e-’s with each other = covalent bonding • both atomscount e-’s for NGC Covalent bonding w/ Fluorine atoms
Covalent bonding • Fluorine has seven valence electrons • A second atom also has seven • By sharing electrons… • …both end with full orbitals F F 8 Valence electrons
Covalent bonding • Fluorine has seven valence electrons • A second atom also has seven • By sharing electrons… • …both end with full orbitals F F 8 Valence electrons single covalent bond between 2 H atoms
Molecular Compounds • Compounds bonded covalently called molecular compounds • Molecular compounds have • lower melting and boiling points • Weaker bond than ionic • gases or liquids at room temperature • a molecular formula: • Shows how many atoms of each element a molecule contains
Reminder from Ch. 7 • No “molecule” of sodium chloride • Ionic cmpds exist as collection of + & - charged ions arranged in repeating 3D patterns.
Molecular Compounds • The formula for water is written as H2O • The subscript “2” behind hydrogen means 2 atoms of hydrogen • subscript 1 omitted • Molecular formulas do not tell any information about structure (arrangement of various atoms).
- Page 215 3. The ball and stick model is BEST, because it shows 3D arrangement. These are some of the different ways to represent ammonia: 1. The molecular formula shows how many atoms of each element are present 2. The structural formula ALSO shows the arrangement of these atoms!
A Single Covalent Bond is... • sharing 2 valence e-’s • Only nonmetals and hydrogen. • Different from ionic bond b/c they actually form molecules. • Two specific atoms joined • In an ionic solid, you can’t tell which atom e-’s moved from or to
How to show the formation… • It’s like a jigsaw puzzle. • You put the pieces together to end up with the right formula. • Carbon is a special example - can it really share 4 electrons: 1s22s22p2? 2p 1s 2s C • Yes, due to electron promotion!

H O Water Another example: water is formed with covalent bonds, by using an electron dot diagram • 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 complete
O Water • Put the pieces together • The first hydrogen is happy • The oxygen still needs one more H
O Water • So, a second hydrogen attaches • Every atom has full energy levels Note the two “unshared” pairs of electrons H H
Examples: • Conceptual Problem 8.1 on page 220 • We’ll do #7 & 8
Double and Triple Covalent Bonds • Sometimes atoms share more thanone pair of valence e-’s • double bond: atoms share 2 pairs of e-’s (4 total) • triple bond: atoms share 3 pairs of e-’s (6 total) • Table 8.1, p.222 - Know these 7 elements as diatomic: Br2 I2 N2 Cl2 H2 O2 F2
O Dot diagram for Carbon dioxide • CO2 - Carbon is central atom( more metallic ) • Carbon has 4 valence e-’s • Wants 4 more • Oxygen has 6 valence e-’s • Wants 2 more C The chemistry of CO2 6:44
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 of the oxygen 1 short, and the carbon 2 short C
O O Carbon dioxide • only solution share more C

How to draw them? • Use the handout guidelines: • Add up all valence e-’s • Count total e-’s needed to make all atoms happy (stable) • Subtract; Divide by 2 (tells you how many bonds to draw) • Choose central atom (least electronegative) • Start w/ most electronegative atom, fill in remaining valence e-’s to fill atoms up
Examples • NH3, which is ammonia • N – central atom; has 5 valence electrons, wants 8 • H - has 1 (x3) valence electrons, wants 2 (x3) • NH3 has 5+3 = 8 • NH3 wants 8+6 = 14 • (14-8)/2= 3 bonds • 4 atoms with 3 bonds N H
Examples • Draw in the bonds; start with singles • All 8 e- accounted for • Everything full – DONE! H H N H
Example: HCN • HCN: C is central atom • N - has 5 valence electrons, wants 8 • C - has 4 valence electrons, wants 8 • H - has 1 valence electron, wants 2 • HCNhas 5+4+1 = 10 • HCNwants 8+8+2 = 18 • (18-10)/2= 4 bonds • 3 atoms with 4 bonds – this will require multiple bonds - not to H however
HCN • Put single bond between each atom • Need to add 2 more bonds • Must go between C and N (Hydrogen is full) H C N
HCN • Put in single bonds • Needs 2 more bonds • Must go between C and N, not the H • Uses 8 electrons – need 2 more to equal the 10 it has H C N
HCN • Put in single bonds • Need 2 more bonds • Must go between C and N • Uses 8 electrons - 2 more to add • Must go on the N to fill its octet H C N
Another way of indicating bonds • Often use a line to indicate a bond • Called a structural formula • Each line = 2 valence e-’s H O H H O H =

C O A Coordinate Covalent Bond... • When one atom donates both electrons in a covalent bond. • Carbon monoxide (CO) is a good example: Both the carbon and oxygen give another single electron to share
Coordinate Covalent Bond • When one atom donates both electrons in a covalent bond. • Carbon monoxide (CO) is a good example: Oxygen gives both of these electrons, since it has no more singles to share. This carbon electron moves to make a pair with the other single. C O
Coordinate Covalent Bond • When one atom donates both electrons in a covalent bond. • Carbon monoxide (CO) The coordinate covalent bond is shown with an arrow as: C O C O
Coordinate covalent bond • Most polyatomic cations and anionscontain covalent & coordinate covalent bonds • Table 8.2, p.224 • Sample Problem 8.2, p.225 • The ammonium ion (NH4+)can be shown as another example
Bond Dissociation Energies... • Total energy required to break bond btwn 2 covalently bonded atoms • High dissociation energy usually means compound relatively unreactive, b/c it takes hi energy to break bond
Resonance is... • When more than one valid dot diagram is possible. • Consider the two ways to draw ozone (O3) • Which one is it? Does it go back and forth? • It’s hybrid of both, shown by double-headed arrow • found in double-bond structures!
