Chapter 07 and 08Chemical Bonding
and MolecularStructure
Compound• Pure substance
• Made of 2 or more elements in a definite proportion by mass
• Physically and chemically different from the elements that make up the compound
• All elements (except Noble gases) react to gain a stable octet. (duet-for H through B)
• Compounds form to gain a stable valence shell which is LOWER IN ENERGY than the atoms before the reaction
Ionic compounds
• Metal gives all valence electrons to a nonmetal or semimetal.
• Both gain stable octets or duets.
• Ionic bond forms due to electrostatic attraction of cation(s) and anion(s)
• One unit is the lowest whole number ratio between the cation and anion. This unit is called a FORMULA UNIT
Covalent Compounds
• Formed when 2 or more nonmetals or a nonmetal and semimetal SHARE valence electrons in order to gain a stable octet.
• Tendency for atoms to obtain a stable octet is called the OCTET RULE.

1. Draw the electron dot (Lewis) Dot Diagram for the ionic compound formed between sodium and fluorine.
NaAtom
FAtom
d
Sodium must lose its one valence electron to get a stable octet.Fluorine must gain one electron to get a stable octet.The electron transfer is from sodium to fluorine and is always from metal to nonmetal.
[Na]Cation Anion
This is an ionic compound because it contains a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. Both ions have a stable octet.The stable octet is NEVER shown on the cation; it is ALWAYS shown on the anion.
1+ 1-
[ F ]d
This is a very stable compound. The positive and negative ions exerts a strong electrostatic attraction on each other and bond the ions together.
[Na]Cation Anion
1+ 1-
[ F ]d
The overall charge of the compound is zero because 1+ and 1- sums to zero. The overall charge must always be zero which shows that the number of electrons lost is equal to the number of electrons gained.

Potassium must lose its one valenceelectron to get a stable octet.Oxygen must gain two electrons toget a stable octet.The electron transfer is frompotassium to oxygen.
K O d
This does not represent the formation of a compound. Oxygen does not havea stable octet because it has not gained two electrons.
A stable compound can form if a second potassium atom loses its one valence electron to the oxygen.

4. Draw the electron dot diagram for the ionic compound formed between iron and bromine when iron has three valence electrons.
Fe Brd
Iron must lose its three valence electron to get a stable octet. Bromine can only gain one. The electron transfer is from iron to bromine.

The name of the compound is iron(III) bromide. The Roman numeral is inserted after the name of the metal to indicate the number of electrons lost and the oxidation number. This is only done with elements that can change their oxidation numbers.
The formula of the compound is Fe3+Cl1-
3.
Rule: Transition metals and lead and tin can have variable oxidation numbers. Therefore a Roman numeral must be inserted into the name of the compound to indicate the number of electrons lost and the oxidation number of the metal. Exceptions Ag is always 1+, Cd and Zn are 2+
