BONDING PART II
LET’S FIRST REVIEW IONIC BONDING
K F In an IONIC bond, electrons are lost or gained, resulting in the formation of IONS in ionic compounds.
_ + K F The compound potassium fluoride consists of potassium (K+) ions and fluoride (F-) ions
_ + K F The ionic bond is the attraction between the positive K+ ion and the negative F- ion An ionic bond is a metal and nonmetal
So what are covalent bonds?
In covalent bonding, atoms still want to achieve a noble gas configuration (the octet rule).
In covalent bonding, atoms still want to achieve a noble gas configuration (the octet rule). But rather than losing or gaining electrons, atoms now share an electron pair.
In covalent bonding, atoms still want to achieve a noble gas configuration (the octet rule). But rather than losing or gaining electrons, atoms now share an electron pair. The shared electron pair is called a bonding pair

Chlorine forms a covalent bond with itself Cl2
How will two chlorine atoms react? Cl Cl
Cl Cl Each chlorine atom wants to gain one electron to achieve an octet
Cl Cl Neither atom will give up an electron – chlorine is highly electronegative. What’s the solution –what can they do to achieve an octet?
Cl Cl The octet is achieved by each atom sharing the electron pair in the middle
Cl Cl The octet is achieved by each atom sharing the electron pair in the middle
Cl Cl This is the bonding pair
Cl Cl It is a single bonding pair
Cl Cl It is called aSINGLE BOND
Cl Cl Single bonds are abbreviated with a dash
Cl Cl This is the chlorine molecule, Cl2
Diatomicatoms • These are atoms that are never, never, never found alone in nature. • H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
Remember the number 7 • There are 7 diatomic molecules
Start with 7 on the periodic table • That would be Nitrogen (this is one of the diatomic molecules)
Rules: 1. The formula is written with the more electropositive element (the one further to the left on the periodic table) placed first, then the more electronegative element (the one further to the right on the periodic table). Example : CO2 [Important exception: when the compound contains oxygen and a halogen, the halogen is placed first. If both elements are in the same group, the one with the higher period number is named first.] Example: Cl2O .
2. The second element’s name ends in –ide 3. Never use the prefix mono with the 1st word. 4. Do not put two O’s together
Naming covalent bonds • Prefixes are used for the number of atoms • 1 – mono • 2 – di • 3 – tri • 4 – tetra • 5 – penta • 6 – hexa • - hepta • - octa • - nona • - deca
Examples: CO2 – CO – P4Cl3 - Carbon Dioxide Carbon monoxide Tetraphosphorous trichloride
O O How will two oxygen atoms bond?
O2 Oxygen is one of the diatomic molecules
O O Each atom has two unpaired electrons
O O Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative. So both atoms want to gain two electrons.
O O Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative. So both atoms want to gain two electrons.
O O two bonding pairs, making a doublebond
O O O O = For convenience, the double bond can be shown as two dashes.
Some covalent bonds can have more than one bond type.
MOLECULAR SHAPES OF COVALENT COMPOUNDS
VSepR tHEORY ALENCE HELL VSEPR LECTRON AIR EPULSION
What Vsepr means Since electrons do not like each other, because of their negative charges, they orient themselves as far apart as possible, from each other. This leads to molecules having specific shapes.
Things to remember • Atoms bond to form an Octet (8 outer electrons/full outer energy level) • Bonded electrons take up less space then un-bonded/unshared pairs of electrons.
HERE ARE THE RESULTING MOLECULAR SHAPES
Linear EXAMPLE: BeF2 • Number of Bonds = 2 • Number of Shared Pairs of Electrons = 2 • Bond Angle = 180°
Bent #1 EXAMPLE: H2O • Number of Bonds = 2 • Number of Shared Pairs of Electrons = 2 • Number of Unshared Pairs of Electrons = 2 • Bond Angle = < 120°
Trigonal Planar EXAMPLE: GaF3 • Number of Bonds = 3 • Number of Shared Pairs of Electrons = 3 • Number of Unshared Pairs of Electrons = 0 • Bond Angle = 120°
Trigonal Pyramidal EXAMPLE: NH3 • Number of Bonds = 3 • Number of Shared Pairs of Electrons = 4 • Number of Unshared Pairs of Electrons = 1 • Bond Angle = <109.5°
Tetrahedral EXAMPLE: CH4 • Number of Bonds = 4 • Number of Shared Pairs of Electrons = 4 • Number of Unshared Pairs of Electrons = 0 • Bond Angle = 109.5°
