Chemical Bonding

2. Bonding Theories Bonding-- the way atoms attach to make molecules.
Bonding can help us:
Predict the shapes of molecules and their properties as well.
Design and build molecules with particular sets of chemical and physical properties.

3. Lewis Theory Uses dots to represent valence electrons.
Arranges bonding between atoms to attain certain sets of stable valence electron arrangements.

4. Lewis Theory
Lewis theory emphasizes the importance of valence electrons.
Uses symbol of element to represent nucleus and inner core electrons.
Uses dots around the symbol to represent valence electrons.
Li• Be• •B• •C• •N• •O: :F: :Ne: • ••

5. Example—Write the Lewis Symbol for Arsenic,
As is in column 5A, therefore it has 5 valence electrons.

6. Lewis Bonding Theory
Atoms bond because it results in a more stable electron configuration.
Atoms bond together by either transferring or sharing electrons.
Usually this results in all atoms obtaining an outer shell with 8 electrons.
Octet rule.
some exceptions to this rule—Li and Be

7. Ionic Bonds Bonds formed between metals and nonmetals Recall
metals lose electrons--- Cations
Nonmetals gain electrons--- Anions
Therefore electrons must be transferred from atom to another for bonding to occur

8. Example 10.3—Using Lewis Theory to Predict Chemical Formulas of Ionic Compounds
Predict the formula of the compound that forms between
calcium and chlorine. Cl ∙ Ca ∙
Draw the Lewis dot symbols
of the elements. Cl ∙ Cl ∙ Ca ∙
Transfer all the valence electrons
from the metal to the nonmetal.
Ca2+
CaCl2

9. Covalent Bonds Bond form between two nonmetals.
The type of compound formed are known as molecular or covalent compounds
Atoms share pairs of electrons to attain octets.

Also known as nonbonding pairs.

15. Lewis Structures of Molecules
Some common bonding patterns.
C = 4 bonds & 0 lone pairs.
4 bonds = 4 single, or 2 double, or single + triple, or 2 single + double.
N = 3 bonds & 1 lone pair.
O = 2 bonds & 2 lone pairs.
H and halogen = 1 bond.
Be = 2 bonds & 0 lone pairs.
B = 3 bonds & 0 lone pairs. B C N O F

22. Writing Lewis Structures for Polyatomic Ions
Procedure is the same, the only difference is in counting the valence electrons.
For polyatomic cations, take away one electron from the total for each positive charge.
For polyatomic anions, add one electron to the total for each negative charge.

23. Example NO3─ 1. Write skeletal structure. 2. Count valence electrons.
N is central because it is the most metallic.
2. Count valence electrons.

28. Exceptions to the Octet Rule
H and Li, lose one electron to form cation.
Li now has electron configuration like He.
H can also share or gain one electron to have configuration like He.
Be shares two electrons to form two single bonds.
B shares three electrons to form three single bonds.
Expanded octets for elements in Period 3 or below.
Using empty valence d orbitals.
Some molecules have odd numbers of electrons. NO

29. Resonance
We can often draw more than one valid Lewis structure for a molecule or ion.
In other words, no one Lewis structure can adequately describe the actual structure of the molecule.
The actual molecule will have some characteristics of all the valid Lewis structures we can draw.

30. Resonance, Continued
Lewis structures often do not accurately represent the electron distribution in a molecule.
Real molecule is a hybrid of all possible Lewis structures.
Resonance stabilizes the molecule.

31. Drawing Resonance Structures
Draw first Lewis structure that maximizes octets.
Move electron pairs from outside atoms to share with central atoms.

32. Example—Draw Lewis Resonance Structures for CNO− (C Is Central with N and O Attached)
(-) = 1
Total = 16 e- 32

33. Molecular Geometry Molecules are three-dimensional objects.
We often describe the shape of a molecule with terms that relate to geometric figures.
The geometric figures also have characteristic angles that we call bond angles.

34. Electron Groups—what are they?
Each lone pair of electrons constitutes one electron group on a central atom.
Each bond constitutes one electron group on a central atom.
regardless of whether it is single, double, or triple
Electron groups determine geometry

35. Linear Geometry
When there are two electron groups the geometry/shape of the molecule will be linear.
(true only in cases that the electron groups are bonds)
The bond angle is 180°.

36. Trigonal Planar Geometry
When there are three electron groups around the central atom, the geometry/shape the molecule will be trigonal planar.
(true only in cases that the electron groups are bonds)
The bond angle is 120°.

37. Tetrahedral Geometry
When there are four electron groups around the central atom, the geometry/shape of the molecule will be tetrahedral.
(true only in cases that the electron groups are bonds)
The bond angle is 109.5°.

38. The Effect of Lone Pairs
Lone pair groups “occupy more space” on the central atom.
relative sizes of repulsive force interactions are:
Lone Pair – Lone Pair > Lone Pair – Bonding Pair > Bonding Pair – Bonding Pair
These repulsions affect bond angles.
Makes them to be smaller!

39. Derivative Shapes
If the electron groups are all bonds, the molecule’s shape will be one of basic molecular geometries—linear, trigonal planar tetrahedral.
Molecules with lone pairs or different kinds of surrounding atoms will have distorted bond angles and different bond lengths, but the shape will be a derivative of one of the basic shapes. 39

40. Derivative of Trigonal Geometry
Three electron groups around the central atom, and one of them is a lone pair, the resulting molecule is called a trigonal bent shape.
The bond angle is <120°.

41. Derivatives of Tetrahedral Geometry
Four electron groups around the central atom, and one is a lone pair, ---trigonal pyramidal shape.
bond angle is <109.5°.

42. Bond Angle Distortion from Lone Pairs

43. Derivatives of Tetrahedral Geometry
Four electron groups around the central atom, and two are lone pairs, --- tetrahedral bent shape.
bond angle is <109.5°.

47. Predicting the Shapes Around Central Atoms Example: Predict the shape of ClO2−

49. Sketching a Molecule
Because molecules are three-dimensional objects, our drawings should indicate their three-dimensional nature
By convention:
A filled wedge indicates that the attached atom is coming out of the paper toward you.
A dashed wedge indicates that the attached atom is going behind the paper away from you. 49

55. Bond Polarity
Bonding between unlike atoms results in unequal sharing of the electrons.
One atom pulls the electrons in the bond closer to its side.
One end of the bond has larger electron density than the other.
The result is bond polarity.
The end with the larger electron density gets a partial negative charge and the end that is electron deficient gets a partial positive charge.
H Cl • d+ d-

56. Dipole Moments
A dipole is a material with positively and negatively charged ends.
Polar bonds or molecules have one end slightly positive, d+, and the other slightly negative, d-.
Dipole moment, m, is a measure of the size of the polarity.

57. Polarity of Molecules In order for a molecule to be polar it must:
1. Have polar bonds.
2. The bond dipole MUST not Cancel each other.
The O—C bond is polar.
The bonding electrons are pulled equally toward both O ends The net result is a nonpolar molecule.

58. Molecule Polarity, Continued
The H—O bond is polar. Both sets of bonding electrons are pulled toward the O end of the molecule. The net result is a polar molecule. 58

59. Practice: Determine if the following molecules are polar
BF3
HCl

60. Molecular Polarity Affects Solubility in Water
Polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules.
Since water is a polar molecule, other polar molecules dissolve well in water.
And ionic compounds as well.
Some molecules have both polar and nonpolar parts. 60
