Chemical BondingChemical Bonding

• Chemical bond: attractive force holding two or more atoms together.

• Covalent bond results from sharing electrons between the atoms. Usually found between nonmetals.

• Ionic bond results from the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal.

• Metallic bond: attractive force holding pure metals together.

The Octet Rule• All noble gases except He has an s2p6 configuration. • Octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons

until they are surrounded by 8 valence electrons (4 electron pairs).

• Caution: there are many exceptions to the octet rule.

Bond Polarity and ElectronegativityBond Polarity and Electronegativity

Electronegativity• Electronegativity: The ability of one atoms in a

molecule to attract electrons to itself.• Pauling set electronegativities on a scale from 0.7 (Cs) to

4.0 (F).• Electronegativity increases

• across a period and

• down a group.

Follow Step by Step Method (See Ng Web-site)

1. Total all valence electrons. [Consider Charge]

2. Write symbols for the atoms and guess skeleton structure [ define a central atom ].

3. Place a pair of electrons in each bond.

4. Complete octets of surrounding atoms. [ H = 2 only ]

5. Place leftover electrons in pairs on the central atom.

6. If there are not enough electrons to give the central atom an octet, look for multiple bonds by transferring electrons until each atom has eight electrons around it.

Exceptions to the Octet RuleExceptions to the Octet Rule

Central Atoms Having Less than an Octet• Relatively rare.• Molecules with less than an octet are typical for

compounds of Groups 1A, 2A, and 3A.

• Most typical example is BF3.

• Formal charges indicate that the Lewis structure with an incomplete octet is more important than the ones with double bonds.

Exceptions to the Octet RuleExceptions to the Octet Rule

Central Atoms Having More than an Octet• This is the largest class of exceptions.• Atoms from the 3rd period onwards can accommodate

more than an octet.• Beyond the third period, the d-orbitals are low enough in

energy to participate in bonding and accept the extra electron density.

The Effect of Nonbonding Electrons

• By experiment, the H-X-H bond angle decreases on moving from C to N to O:

• Since electrons in a bond are attracted by two nuclei, they do not repel as much as lone pairs.

• Therefore, the bond angle decreases as the number of lone pairs increases

• Draw the Lewis Structure and the 3D VSEPR Molecular Geometry for glycine. Indicate the name of the shape for all possible central atoms, including estimation of bond angles.

• Hint 1: Designate the 2nd carbon in the formula as the central atom in skeleton structure.

• Hint 2: The acid portion of glycine is the same as that of acetic acid.

• Lewis structures and VSEPR do not explain why a bond forms.

• How do we account for shape in terms of quantum mechanics?

• What are the orbitals that are involved in bonding?• We use Valence Bond Theory:

• Bonds form when orbitals on atoms overlap.

• There are two electrons of opposite spin in the orbital overlap.

• To determine the electron pair geometry:• draw the Lewis structure,

• count the total number of electron pairs around the central atom,

• arrange the electron pairs in one of the above geometries to minimize e-e repulsion, and count multiple bonds as one bonding pair.
