Forming Chemical Bonds
• According to the Lewis model– an atom may lose or gain enough electrons to
acquire a filled valence shell and become an ion. An ionic bond is the result of the force of attraction between a cation and an anion.
– an atom may share electrons with one or more other atoms to acquire a filled valence shell. A covalent bond is the result of the force of attraction between two atoms that share one or more pairs of electrons.
Ionic Compounds
Vs Covalent
(Molecules) Compounds
• Ionic Compounds–Made up of a metal and a non-metal
–Have a difference in electronegativity of more than 1.7 (Figure 20 pg. 161)
–Formed from ions–Electrons are transferred
• Covalent Molecules–Made up of two non-metals–Have a difference in electronegativity of less than 1.7 (Figure 20 pg. 161)
–Ions are not formed–Electrons are shared
Bond Polarity: NonpolarNonpolar covalent bond Electrons are shared between
atoms with the same electronegativity values.
Difference = 0Examples:
N2 Br2
Bond Polarity: PolarPolar covalent bondElectrons are shared between
different nonmetal atoms Examples:O-Cl O-S N-Cl
Chemical Bonding: The Covalent Bond
Model
←Fig. 5.12(a) In the nonpolar covalent bond present, there is a symmetrical distribution of electron density. (b) In the polar covalent bond present, electron density is displaced because of its electronegativity.

Valence electrons for ElementsRecall that the valence electrons for the elements can be determined based on the elements position on the periodic table.

Lewis Structures
1) Find your element on the periodic table.
2) Determine the number of valence electrons.
3) This is how many electrons you will draw.

Lewis Structures
• Find out which group (column) your element is in.
• This will tell you the number of valence electrons your element has.
• You will only draw the valence electrons.

Lewis Structures
1) Write the element symbol.
2) Carbon is in the 4th group, so it has 4 valence electrons.
3) Starting at the right, draw 4 electrons, or dots, counter-clockwise around the element symbol.

C1) Check your
work.2) Using your
periodic table, check that Carbon is in the 4th group.
3) You should have 4 total electrons, or dots, drawn in for Carbon.

Lewis Structure, Octet Rule Guidelines
When compounds are formed they tend to follow the Octet Rule.Octet Rule: Atoms will share electrons (e-) until it is surrounded by eight valence electrons.
Rules of the (VSEPR) game-i) The Octet Rule works mostly for second period elements.
Many exceptions especially with 3rd period elements (d-orbitals)
ii) H prefers 2 e- (electron deficient)
iii) :C: N: :O: :F:4 unpaired 3unpaired 2unpaired 1unpaired up = unpaired e-4 bonds 3 bonds 2 bonds 1 bond
O=C=O NN O = O F - Fiv) H & F are terminal in the structural formula (Never central)

In general when there is a single central atom in the molecule, CH2ClF, SeCl2, O3 (CO2, NH3, PO4
3-), the central atom is the first atom in the chemical formula.Except when the first atom in the chemical formula is Hydrogen (H) or fluorine (F). In which case the central atom is the second atom in the chemical formula.
Find the central atom for the following:1) H2O a) H b) O 2) PCl3 a) P b) Cl3) SO3 a) S b) O 4) CO3
