CHM 130

2. 12.1 Chemical Bonding
Atoms want to be like noble gases (stable and happy)
Goal = 8 outer valence electrons =Octet Rule (except H, He)
Metals lose electrons and become (+) cations
Nonmetals gain electrons and become (-) anions
A metal / nonmetal compound is IONIC w/ IONIC bond (the + and – attract each other)
Who makes a good partner for Ca? Br? Li?
Ionic Examples: KCl, CaBr2
Nonmetals can also share electrons with each other
A nonmetal / nonmetal compounds is COVALENT w/COVALENT bonds.
Example: diatomic elements (H2, N2, F2…)
Covalent Examples: H2O, CO2

3. Why is the formula CaBr2? Why one Ca per two Br? Any ideas?
Because Ca ion is +2 and Br ion is -1. So need two Br -1 ions to balance with one Ca +2 ion = (Br-1Ca2+Br-1)
The answer is NOT because Br is diatomic
Note, Br is diatomic BY ITSELF (Br2) but when in a compound the Br ‘s break apart to bond with other atoms! The diatomic elements are NOT diatomic anymore once bonded with others.

4. Which compounds are Ionic?
KBr
SO3
HCl
Br2
CO2
MgCl2
Answer: The ones with a metal and a nonmetal.
KBr and MgCl2

5. 12.2 Ionic Bonding
Electrons are completely transferred from metal to nonmetal.

6. Draw electron dot structures for Mg and S atoms then Mg2+ and S2- ions in MgS. How many protons and electrons in Mg2+ and S2- ions?
Notice that Mg2+ and S2- are “like” noble gases. They are isoelectronic with Ne and Ar, and that is what makes them happy and stable. While the number of electrons changed, the number of protons did NOT. # Protons never change in chemical reactions.

7. Ionic Radius
Cations have lost electrons, so there are more protons, so pull the electron orbits in closer to nucleus (smaller than the atom)
Anions have gained electrons, so there are more electrons, they repel and push orbits farther from nucleus (larger than the atom)

8. True or False regarding an ionic bond between aluminum and iodine?
The aluminum atom loses electrons, and the iodine atom gains electrons.
The aluminum atom is larger in radius than the aluminum ion.
The iodine atom is smaller in radius than the iodine ion.
The aluminum and iodine ions form a bond by attraction.
True

9. 12.3 Covalent Bonding …is when nonmetals share electrons.
Single = 2, double = 4, triple = 6 e- shared
Note the bond length is less than r1+r2 due to orbital overlap

10. Bond Energy =Energy required to break a bond.
Breaking bonds always requires E.
E is a reactant, it is absorbed.
Forming bonds always releases E.
E is a product, it is produced.
Endothermic
Exothermic
HCl (g) + heat H (g) Cl (g)
H (g) Cl (g) HCl (g) + heat

11. True or False regarding H2S?
Electrons are shared in H2S.
The bond between H and S is ionic.
The H-S bond length is less than the sum of the two atomic radii.
Breaking the H-S bond releases energy.
True
False
Figure: 12-07
Title:
Formation of Na+ and Cl- Ions
Caption:
The radius of the sodium atom decreases, while the chloride atom increases when ionized.
Notes:
Losing an electron means that the positive nucleus can pull the other electrons in more strongly. Gaining an electron means that the positive nucleus is less effective in pulling the electrons in.

12. 12.4 Draw electron dot structures for H2 and HCl

13. 12.4 Electron Dot Structures
Add up the total number of valence electrons.
Surround the central atom with the other atoms and draw single bonds to them.
All atoms want octet 8e- except H wants 2 e-.
Final Check: Make SURE you use the total # of e-, no more or less.
bonding e-= shared e-
lone pairs = unshared e-
If single bonds don’t work, try double, then triple.

Total = 8e-

Add electrons for anions and subtract electrons for cations. Put brackets around the ion and charge in the right corner.

25. 12.6&7 Polar and Nonpolar Covalent Bonds
A covalent bond where electrons are shared equally is a nonpolar bond. (no poles, no magnet)
A covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally is a polar bond. (has poles like a magnet)
Symbols used to indicate polarity:
d+ = Partially positive atom
d- = Partially negative atom
points toward more EN atom

26. What does partial charge mean?
The atoms in ions are completely +1, +2, -3, -2 and such
Polar bonds make the atoms just a little bit + and -, like maybe and
So ions are WAY more + and – than polar covalent bonded atoms
Ionic bond Na-Cl is completely +1 and -1
Polar Covalent bond N-F is a little bit d+ and d-

27. Electronegativity (EN) is the ability of a BONDED atom to attract electrons.

28. Noble Gases don’t have an EN Why? Any ideas?
EN = ability of an atom to pull BONDED electrons close
Well noble gases don’t BOND! So they can’t pull bonded electrons close. So what is the atom with the highest EN???
Yep, F. F pulls electrons closer than anything! F is an electron hog. Nothing holds electrons tighter than F.

29. Nonpolar covalent bonds
When an atom is bonded to itself, that bond is nonpolar because the electrons are shared equally between them.
Diatomic molecules have nonpolar covalent bonds.
Examples:
H2, N2, F2, O2, I2, Cl2 , Br2
Note C and H are about the SAME in EN so also make nonpolar covalent bonds.
Example:
C-H bond in CH4

30. Polar covalent bonds Examples of polar bonds: C-O, H-F, S-F, C-N
In general, when two different nonmetal atoms are bonded, the bond is polar because the more EN atom pulls the electrons closer so they are shared unequally.
Examples of polar bonds:
C-O, H-F, S-F, C-N

32. Polarity - Review
This is really important and will come up later again and again and again.
Think of this as a tug-of-war for bonded electrons. The more EN atom pulls them closer, and since e- are negative, that makes that atom a little bit d-. By default the other atom is a little bit d+. The bond is thus polar. If the atoms have the same EN, like C and H, then it is a tie (nonpolar).

33. Ionic, Polar, or Nonpolar Bonds?

Polar Covalent
Nonpolar Covalent

34. Metallic Bonding Pure metals have a freely moving “sea of electrons”.
The electrons are shared among all the metal atoms.
This is why they conduct heat and electricity so easily.

35. 12.10 Polarity of Molecules All nonpolar bonds = nonpolar molecule.
Polar bonds that don’t cancel out = polar molecule.
Polar bonds that do cancel out = nonpolar molecule.

36. Polar Bonds BUT Nonpolar Molecule
Polar bonds cancel out = nonpolar molecule.

37. Summary Water Ammonia Carbon dioxide
Draw the electron dot structure, determine shape, bond angle, determine if bonds are polar and if molecule is polar.
Water
Ammonia
Carbon dioxide
Yes, we skipped sections 8 and 9

38. For Fun if time
Why care about molecular shape? Well look at what cis-platin can do thanks to its shape!
Antioxidants and free radicals – what are they? Free radicals are when a molecule has an unpaired electron. They are considered bad for you.
