6.1 Introduction to chemical bonding
Most elements are not found alone in nature. They are “stuck” to other atoms.
Chemical Bond -
Types of chemical bonds:
Ionic -
Covalent -
Metallic -
Covalent bonds may be polar or nonpolar
Polar - unequal sharing of electrons (HCl)
Nonpolar - equal sharing of electrons (H2)
Book uses electronegativity differences to predict:
4.0 – 1.7 = 100 to 50% ionic character1.7-.3 = 50 to 5% i.c.>0.3 = less than 5% i.c.
so > 1.7 = ionic 1.7 -0 .4 = polar covalent0.3 or less = nonpolar
examples: NaClHClCl2
easier way to predict:
ionic = pc = npc =

HF - orbital overlap diagram
Lewis Structures for covalent compounds
Basic rules (according to Seids) 1. each atom wants 8 electrons (except H wants 2)
2. each atoms goes for close to the right # of bonds
3. the least electronegative atoms goes in the middle or
4. the atom that makes the most bonds goes in the middle
Draw H2O, PCl3, SiH2F2, CS2, C2H6, C2H4, C2H2, CH2O, HCN, FON

Drawing polyatomic ions
count electrons - if the charge is - 3, add 3 electrons
example PO4-3p-5,0 - 6x4=24, total = 29 but need to add 3 = 32
less bonds than atoms want = negative charge more bonds than atoms want = positive charge
CKbe - check bonds, check electrons
P wants 3 bonds, has 4 - + 1 chargeEach O wants 2, has 1 - so each O = -1 Total = - 3
DrawNH4+
coordinate covalent bond - 2 shared electrons in a bond are donated by 1 atom
Draw OH-1, sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, carbonate, bicarbonate, H2SO4, H3PO4
6.3 Ionic Bonding
Ionic compound -
- formula unit - lowest whole # ratio of ions
metals - lose electrons - why? ______
nonmetals - gain electrons - why?______
metals lose electrons until they become like a (usually 8 valence electrons)
nonmetals gain electrons until they do the same
both go to s2p6 - 8 valence electrons - called an
the tendency to arrange electrons so each atom has 8 is called the

formation of an ionic bond: (Bohr model)
an easier way..... (Dot Pictures)
The ionic bonding picture looks like this....
Other examples:
energy is involved in all chemical reactions
Na + Cl yields NaCl + 769 kJ
lattice energy -
NaCl = - 769 kJ/moleNaF = - 922 kJ/moleKCl = -718 kJ/mole
smaller ions have LE
property summary of ionic compounds - hard, shatter (not ), conduct when ______, ______melting point, no smell

6.4Metallic Bonding - “Sea of electrons theory” - Momma Seidel and her big, wooden spoon
Remember – in ionic bonds some atoms want e- and some don’t – in covalent bonds, all atoms share – in metals, no one atom wants the e-
Properties of metals - conduct electricity, heat, hardness, luster, malleability, ductility
6.5The Properties of Molecular Compounds
VSEPR Model - Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (vesper) - electron pairs get as far away from each other as possible
consider shared pairs lone pairs shape bond angle(s)drawing

to predict - structure must be drawn first - examples: CCl4, H2S, HBr, SO2, ClO4-1,BH3, PF5, etc.

Intermolecular Forces- forces that hold molecules together
- happens in covalent compounds
intermolecular forces - can be weak or strong
intramolecular forces - always strong (bonds)
Types of IMF
1. dipole-dipole
dipole- when electrons are unevenly distributed
2. Hydrogen Bonding H-bonding is a “ ” dipole-dipole
Are we having FON? - H-bonding happens any time H is bonded to ______.
why? A large difference in electronegativity between F, O, or N and H results in one end of the molecule being very negative, while the other end is very positive.
Why N and not Cl? They have identical electronegativities!
Well, N is so much smaller than Cl so the negative charge is spread over a smaller area which exerts more force.
Effect of H-bonds on physical properties? Water expands when it freezes H-bonding is also responsible for the shapes of proteins

we learned polar molecules have dipole-dipole IMF holding them together.
we learned about H-bonding or “super” dipole-dipole IMF
These two types of IMF usually result in substances being solids or liquids at room temp.
most nonpolar covalent substances are gases at room temp. as the forces holding them together are not strong enough to keep the molecules attracted - hence they are gases
O2, H2, N2 - straight nonpolar substances
CO2 - have dipoles, but nonpolar due to its molecular geometry
now, a third type of IMF
3. Van der Waals Forces (London Forces) - Temporarily induced dipoles caused by the motion of electrons.
more electrons = more attraction so, bigger atoms have stronger Van der Waals forces

Bond Energy - basic idea - what is the strength of chemical bonds?
bond energy - energy needed to break a bond - measured in kJ/mole
bond strength and stability:
stronger bond - more stable -needs more energy to break the bond
weaker bond - takes little energy to break the bond so the chemical is unstable
chemical changes favor lower energy states - exothermic reactions are favored
Bond Strength
which is stronger? - single, double, or triple bond? uh.....
which is shortest bond length? s, d, or t? - the answer is
which is stronger, short or long bonds? uh...
