Covalent Bonding
Bonding• A metal & a nonmetal transfer
electrons–An ionic bond
• Two metals mix–An alloy (Metallic bond)
• What do two nonmetals do?–Neither one will give away an electron
–So they share their valence electrons–This is a covalent bond
Covalent Bonding• Nonmetals hold on to their valence
electrons• They can’t give away electrons to
bond• Still want to be stable!
– Need noble gas configuration (octet rule)• Get it by sharing valence electrons
with each other.• By sharing, both atoms get to count
the electrons toward noble gas configuration.
Covalent Bonding Fluorine has seven valence electrons A second atom also has seven By sharing electrons… Both end with full orbitals

Ways to Illustrate Covalent Bonds• Molecular formula: shows the number
of atoms of each element in a molecule.–Ex. PF3
• Lewis Structures: uses dots to represent bonding between molecular compounds
• Structural Formulas: shows the arrangement of atoms and bonds–Shared electron dots are replaced with a dash
• Models: ball and stick (3-D versions)
Single Covalent Bond• Occurs between nonmetals or a
nonmetal & hydrogen• Sharing of two valence electrons
(1 pair)• Different from an ionic bond –
electrons are SHARED not transferred
An example with dots…•It’s like a jigsaw puzzle•You will be given the formula•You put the pieces together
to make everyone stable or happy –Most atoms need an octet–H & He need a duo–Carbon is often the center
Water

O
Each hydrogen has 1 valence electron
and wants 1 moreThe oxygen has 6 valence
electronsand wants 2 moreThey share to make each
other “happy”
Water• Put the pieces together• The first hydrogen is happy• The oxygen still wants one more
H O

• The second hydrogen attaches• Every atom has full energy levels

Multiple Bonds
•Sometimes atoms share more than one pair of valence electrons.
•A double bond is when atoms share two pair (4) of electrons.
•A triple bond is when atoms share three pair (6) of electrons.
Carbon dioxide• CO2 - Carbon is
central atom• Carbon has 4 valence
electrons• Wants 4 more• Oxygen has 6 valence
electrons• Wants 2 more

Exceptions to the Octet Rule/Patterns of Bonding
1. Some elements with odd number of valence electrons
–BF3
–PCl5
2. Coordinate covalent bonding
Coordinate Covalent Bond• When one atom donates both
electrons in a covalent bond• Carbon monoxide (CO)
OC
Coordinate Covalent Bond When one atom donates both electrons
in a covalent bond. Carbon monoxide (CO)
OC

in a covalent bond. Carbon monoxide (CO)

Summary of Covalent Bonding• Covalent bonds occur by SHARING
electrons• Occurs between NONMETALS• End product is called a MOLECULE
1. Molecular compound - formed with different elements
2. Diatomic molecules - 2 of the same atom– There are 7 elements that always form
diatomic molecules
–H2 , N2 , O2 , F2 , Cl2 , Br2 , and I2
Diatomic Molecules
Naming Molecular Compounds• Easier than ionic compounds
• No balancing charges
•1 mono-•2 di-•3 tri-•4 tetra-•5 penta-
•6 hexa – •7 hepta –•8 octa –•9 nona –•10 deca –
Naming Molecular Compounds
• 1st element – add the prefix that matches the subscript– Exception – do not add “mono-” if
there is 1 atom– No aa, oo, or ao double vowels
• 2nd element – add the prefix that matches the subscript– Still ends in -ide
Naming• CO2
– 1st element = Carbon; subscript 1•Remember exception•“Carbon”
– 2nd element = oxygen; subscript 2•Prefix for 2 is di-•“Dioxide”
– Full name = carbon dioxide
Practice Naming• S2Cl2
–Disulfur dichloride
• CS2
–Carbon disulfide
• SO3
–Sulfur trioxide
• P4O10

Molecular Shapes
• Lewis diagrams & structural formulas are 2-dimensional
• Real molecules are 3-D• If there are 2 atoms, the molecule
has a LINEAR shape (no other options!)–Carbon monoxide (CO)
• If it has more than 2, how do we figure out the shape?
VSEPR Theory
• Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
• Used to predict shape of a molecule
• Negative electrons repel each other and pairs want to be as far apart as possible
Linear• Linear: 2 atoms around central atom, no
unshared pairs on central atom• With three atoms the farthest the two outer
molecules can get apart is 180º.• Will require 2 double bonds or one triple
bond
C OO180º
Trigonal Planar
• Trigonal planar: 3 atoms around central atom, no unshared pair on central atom.
• Angle = 120°
• 4 molecules around a central atom
• All single bonds• Must think in 3-
D!

So how do I determine the shape of a given molecule?
1.Draw the Lewis diagram2.Count the shared and
unshared pairs3.Use the VSEPR Theory to
determine the shape
Which type of bond is it?• Look at which elements are
involved–Metal & nonmetal = ionic bond–2 nonmetals = covalent bond
• Electronegativity – measure of a tendency of an atom to attract a pair of electrons–Influenced by amount of positive charge in the nucleus & electron shielding
Differences in Electronegativity.
• Big difference between values (greater than 1.70) –One atom REALLY wants the electrons and the other…not so much
– Ionic bonding ionic compound• Smaller difference between values
(less than 1.70) –Both have “equal” attraction for the e-
–Covalent bonding molecule
Differences in Electronegativity
•Medium difference–Still a bit of a tug of war over e-–Unequal sharing of electrons–Results in a POLAR covalent bond –Positive and negative poles–Dipole – partially negative on one side, partially positive on the other
Polar Covalent Bond
Differences in Electronegativity
• Very small difference–Share electrons equally
–NONPOLAR covalent bond–No positive and negative poles
Nonpolar Covalent Bond
Polar vs. nonpolar molecules
• Look at polarity of each bond– All nonpolar bonds = nonpolar
molecule (O2)
• Look at the overall shape– Symmetrical polar bonds cancel each
other out so molecule = nonpolar (CO2, CCl4)
– Nonsymmetrical polar bonds = polar molecule (H2O)
Dipole-dipole attraction• Attraction between + part of one
dipole and - part of another dipole• Hydrogen bond - between an
electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom bonded to another electronegative atom –Often involves F, N, or O –Strongest of the intermolecular forces

Hydrogen Bonding
Van der Waals – London dispersion force
•Weak intermolecular force caused by negative electrons on one side of a cloud being attracted to a nearby positive nucleus
•Constantly changing
Properties of Molecular Compounds
• Poor conductors of heat & electricity
• Often found as liquids or gases• Weaker attraction between
atoms• Low melting & boiling points
IONIC vs COVALENT
Carbon (Organic) Chemistry
• Carbon plays a dominant role in the chemistry of living things
• Bonding stability– 4 valence electrons– Very unlikely to form ionic bonds– Can form covalent bonds with LOTS of
different elements (especially H & O)• Small molecules link together resulting
in the formation of a large variety of structures often with repeating subunits
Examples of carbon-based compounds
•Simple hydrocarbons•Small carbon molecules with
functional groups•Complex polymers•Biological molecules
Simple Hydrocarbons
• Petrochemicals – Propane, Butane, Octane
Functional groups
• Specific groups of atoms that are responsible for chemical characteristics of a compound
• ALWAYS a close relationship between properties & structure (aspirin, vitamins, insulin)
Complex Polymers & Biological Molecules
• Natural polymers–Proteins, nucleic acids
• Synthetic polymers–Polythene , Polystyrene–Kevlar–Nylon
Common organic molecules
• CH4
• C2H6
• C2H4
• C2H2
• CH3CH2OH
• CH2O
• C6H6
• CH3COOH
