Two Types of BondsIonic: results from 1 atom giving up

its valence e-’s (cation) & __________ them to another atom (anion) e.g.

Covalent: results from the ______ of valence e-’s between 2 atomsMost bonds are between these extremes!

Ionic bondComplete transfer of an electron making one atom ______ (Cation) and one _______ (Anion)They then attract each other like magnets because of their opposite _______Only one has electron density

Non-Polar Covalent

Non-Polar Covalent: the bonding valence e-’s are _______ _____ by the atoms resulting in equal distribution of electrical charge. e.g.

Polar covalent bondPolar Covalent: the bonding valence e-’s are more

strongly attracted to the ____ __ ____ resulting in an _______ distribution of the valence e-’s. It is still sharing, not a transfer like in ionic. e.g.

So: Chemical Bonding

The type of bonding can be determined simply by the __________ in the ______________ (∆EN) of the 2 atoms.

(see next slide or p.177 Table 6.2 to see values)

E.g.’s:A H-F molecule has an EN difference of:

(for F) – (for H) = For Na-Cl the EN difference is:

(for Cl) – (for Na) = For C-O the EN difference is:

(for O) – (for C) =For H-H (H2) the EN difference is:

(for H) – (for H) =

The difference tells you what type of bonding that is occurring:

> 1.7=< 0.3=

0.31.7 =

or:EN difference = 0 0.3 1.7 3.3I--------I--------------------I---------------------------I

(see also p.238 Table 8.3)

Going back to the previous examples:H-F ∆EN =

Na-Cl ∆EN =

C-O EN =

H-H ∆EN =

Other examples:Mg-S ∆EN =CO2 ∆EN =

e.g. HClChlorine has a _________,

but H does not.That’s because there are

some exceptions due to elements just not having enough

i.e.

How many electrons would it need to fill an octet?

Is that possible?

Molecular Structure: The VSEPR ModelMolecular Structure: is the of the

atoms in a molecule. (i.e. the shape)There are several methods. We shall look at one simple

model and deal with simple molecules only.

VSEPR: helps predict the geometry (shape) of a molecule.

The idea is that the valence shell electron pairs, whether bonding or lone prs, will position themselves as far apart as possible, to minimise

Molecular Shape: A 4 step program by VSEPRStep 1: Draw of the molecule

Step 2: Count # electron “groups” around the central atom.Electron group = lone pr; single, double or triple bond.

Step 3: Arrange electron groups as far apart as possible (to minimize )Remember, may have to think in 3-D to get the shape of the electron arrangement.

Step 4: Add “ ” atoms. Describe the shape by focusing on the atoms only.Note: Lone prs require more space than bonded prs. (see p.232-3)

11/15/2015

17

e.g. BeF2

(Note that Be only has 2 valence e-’s and no lone pairs.)Lewis Structure

The 2 valence electron pairs position themselves as far apart as possible, i.e. 180o

So it has a shape/structure.

e.g. BF3

(Note that B only has 3 valence e-’s & no lone prs.)

Lewis Structure

How do 3 prs of e’s position themselves as far apart as possible?

This shape is known as

18

e.g. CH4

But is a flat square the best shape for the valence electron pairs to be as far apart as possible?

NO, we have to picture it in 3-D.

This shape is known as

e.g. NH3

N has 1 lone pr and 3 bonding prs for a total of 4 “______________.” The will position themselves in a arrangement with the 3 H’s at the end of 3 of the electron groups.

The lone pr “pushes” the 3 bonding prs closer together.

This shape is known as

e.g. H2O

O has __ lone prs and __ bonding prs for a total of __ “electron groups.” The electron groups will position themselves in a __________ arrangement with the 2 H’s at the end of 2 of the electron groups.
