What is a covalent bond? A covalent bond forms between two atoms that are sharing one or more pair of electrons. Usually occurs when the electronegativity difference between the two elements is small (<1.7) Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals. The bond results from an overlapping of orbitals. A covalent bond is a weaker bond than an ionic bond. Properties of compounds resulting from a covalent bond include: low melting point, gases or liquids at room temp (some are soft solids), do not conduct electricity, many are insoluble in water.

Naming covalently bonded compounds. The first element is named according to the element name. An –ide ending is added to the name of the second element. Numerical prefixes are used to indicate the number of each type of atom present.

Numerical Prefixes PrefixNumber *Mono (only used with the second element) 1 Di2 Tri3 Tetra4 Pent5 Hex6 Hept7 Oct8 Non9 Dec10

Types of Covalent Bonds A single covalent bond occurs when one pair of electrons (2 electrons) are shared between two atoms. A double covalent bond occurs when two atoms share two pairs (4 electrons) of electrons. A triple covalent bond occurs when two atoms share three pairs (6 electrons) of electrons.

Drawing Lewis Dot Structures Lewis dot structures can be drawn to represent the bonding that occurs within a covalent molecule. Atoms of hydrogen and halogens can only form one single bond each. (They only need to share 1 electron to form a complete octet). Lines represent the shared pairs of electrons or the chemical bonds between atoms. Unshared pairs are represented by dots or a line.

Example Draw the Lewis Dot Structure for CCl4

Example #2 Draw the Lewis dot structure for a molecule of NH3.

Example #3 Draw the Lewis dot structure for H2O.

For molecules involving atoms other than halogens or hydrogen Use the formula “N-A = S” to determine the number and type of bonds within the molecule. N represents the total number of valence electrons needed by all atoms to have a complete octet. A represents the total number of valence electrons available in all atoms within the molecule. S represents the total number of electrons that will need to be shared in order to form complete octets for each atom. Divide the number shared by 2 to determine the number of bonds that will form.

Polar vs Nonpolar Bonds If the electrons are shared equally, it is called a nonpolar covalent bond. (This type of bond only occurs if the electrons are shared between identical atoms) If the electrons are shared unequally, it is called a polar covalent bond.

Polar and Nonpolar Molecules Molecules can also be polar and nonpolar. Molecules are nonpolar if: 1) the bonds are nonpolar 2) the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically Molecules are polar if the polar bonds are arranged asymmetrically.
