Chemistry Unit 6 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 shell of valence electrons. (usually 8)
OXIDATION STATES • Charge for an element due to oxidation or reduction by gaining or losing electrons • Resulting in +/- ions • Relates to ionization and electronegativity
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 atoms of a metal
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 loose one electron To become more stable, chlorine must gain one electron From: chemistryland.com
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 transfer? 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, that it removes the electrons, forming oppositely charged ions! • The reaction of sodium with chlorine
For Example: Na and O EN of Na = 0.9 EN of O = 3.5
Why does Sodium and Oxygen form an ionic bond? 3.5 EN of O - 0.9 EN of Na 2.4 Difference in EN • Difference in electronegativity is 2.4(>1.7) • An ionic bond will form. • Oxygen 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, so they will share two pairs of electrons. A diatomic molecule of oxygen is formed. O2
H H O Try another example Each atom of hydrogen 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) • Covalent bonding occurs when a sharing of electrons results in an overlap of valence orbitals. Each electron is attracted to the positive charge of the opposite nucleus. • The result of a covalent bond is called a molecule. STOP
Polar and Nonpolar Covalent Bonds • A covalent bond occurs between nonmetals because there is only a slight difference in their electronegativites. (less than 1.7 diff in EN) The atoms share the electrons fairly equally. • If one nonmetal has a greater EN than the other, it can “hog” the electrons, forming a POLAR covalent bond. (>0 <1.7 diff. in EN) • If the nonmetals have equal EN, they will share equally and form NONPOLAR covalent bond. (0 diff. in EN) unequal sharing of its electrons.
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-)
