Chapter 4 Compounds and Their Bonds
4.5 Covalent Compounds Copyright © by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings
2
Covalent Bonds Covalent bonds form
when atoms share electrons to complete octets. between two nonmetal atoms. between nonmetal atoms from Groups 4A(14), 5A(15), 6A(16), and 7A(17).
3
Hydrogen Molecule A hydrogen molecule
is stable with two electrons (helium). has a shared pair of electrons.
4
Forming Octets in Molecules
In a fluorine, F2,, molecule, each F atom shares one electron. attains an octet.
5
Carbon forms 4 covalent bonds
In a CH4, methane, molecule a C atom shares 4 electrons to attain an octet. each H shares 1 electron to become stable like helium.
6
Multiple Bonds In nitrogen molecule, N2,
each N atom shares 3 electrons. each N attains an octet. the bond is a multiple bond called a triple bond. the name is the same as the element.
7
Naming Covalent Compounds
To name covalent compounds STEP 1: Name the first nonmetal as an element. STEP 2: Name the second nonmetal with an ide ending. STEP 3: Use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms (subscript) of each element. Table4.12
8
Naming Covalent Compounds
What is the name of SO3? 1. The first nonmetal is S sulfur. 2. The second nonmetal is O named oxide. 3. The subscript 3 of O is shown as the prefix tri. SO3 sulfur trioxide The subscript 1 (for S) or mono is understood.
9
Naming Covalent Compounds
Name P4S3. 1. The first nonmetal P is phosphorus. 2. The second nonmetal S is sulfide. 3. The subscript 4 of P is shown as tetra. The subscript 3 of O is shown as tri. P4S3 tetraphosphorus trisulfide

15
Guide to Writing Formulas
The prefixes in the name are used to write the formula. STEP 1: Write the symbols in the order of the elements in the name. STEP 2: Write any prefixes as subscripts. Example: Write the formula for carbon disulfide. STEP 1: Elements are C and S STEP 2: No prefix for carbon means 1 C Prefix di = 2 Formula: CS2
16
Learning Check Write the correct formula for each of the following.
A. phosphorus pentachloride B. dinitrogen trioxide C. sulfur hexafluoride
17
Solution Write the correct formula for each of the following. A. phosphorus pentachloride 1 P penta = 5 Cl PCl5 B. dinitrogen trioxide di = 2 N tri = 3 O N2O3 C. sulfur hexafluoride 1 S hexa = 6 F SF6
