TYPES OF CHEMICAL BONDS

• IONIC BONDS

• COVALENT BONDS

• HYDROGEN BONDS

• METALLIC BONDS

IONIC BONDING

When an atom of a nonmetaltakes one or more electrons

from an atom of a metalso both atoms end up with

eight valence electrons

IONIC BOND FORMATION

Neutral atoms come near each other. Electron(s) are transferred from the Metal atom to the Non-metal atom. They stick together because of electrostatic forces, like magnets.

IONIC BONDING

Metals will tend to lose electrons and become

POSITIVE CATIONS

Normal sodium atom loses one electron to become sodium ion

IONIC BONDING

Nonmetals will tend to gain electrons and become

NEGATIVE ANIONS

Normal chlorine atom gains an electron to become a chloride ion

Properties of Ionic Compounds

• Crystalline structure.

• A regular repeating arrangement of ions in the solid.

• Ions are strongly bonded.

• Structure is rigid.

• High melting points- because of strong forces between ions.

Crystalline structureThe

POSITIVE CATIONS stick to the

NEGATIVE ANIONS, like

a magnet.

Do they Conduct?

• Conducting electricity is allowing charges to move.

• In a solid, the ions are locked in place.• Ionic solids are insulators.• When melted, the ions can move

around.• Melted ionic compounds conduct.• Melting points always above 800ºC.• Dissolved in water they conduct.

COVALENT BOND FORMATION

When one nonmetal shares one or more electrons with an atom of another nonmetal so both atoms end up with eight valence electrons

YES since it is made of only nonmetal elementsYES since it is made of only nonmetal elements

Single Covalent Bond

• A sharing of two valence electrons.

• Only nonmetals and Hydrogen.

• Different from an ionic bond because they actually form molecules.

• Two specific atoms are joined.

• In an ionic solid you can’t tell where the electrons came from

Water

H

O

Each hydrogen has 1 valence electron

Each hydrogen wants 1 more

The oxygen has 6 valence electrons

The oxygen wants 2 more

They share to make each other happy

Water• Put the pieces together• The first hydrogen is happy• The oxygen still wants one more

H O

Water

• The second hydrogen attaches

• Every atom has full energy levels

H OH

Two types of covalent bonds:

• Sigma bonds: represented by the symbol two orbitals with a DIRECT overlay (so it falls DIRECTLY between the nuclei of the atoms in the bond)

Two types of bondsAnother view of sigma bonds (showing electron clouds):

Two types of covalent bonds:

• Pi bonds, represented by the symbol

• two lobes of one involved atomic orbital overlap two lobes of the other involved atomic orbital.

Two types of covalent bonds

• So single bonds (or the FIRST bond formed) is a bond, and the second and/or third are always bonds

Coordinate covalent bond

• Other examples:

Polar Molecules

• Molecules with a positive and a negative end• Requires two things to be true The molecule must contain polar bonds

This can be determined from differences in electronegativity.

Symmetry can not cancel out the effects of the polar bonds.

Must determine geometry first.

Is it polar?

• HF

• H2O

• NH3

• CCl4

• CO2

Intermolecular Forces

What holds molecules to each other

Intermolecular Forces

• They are what make solid and liquid molecular compounds possible.

• The weakest are called van der Waal’s forces - there are two kinds

• Dispersion forces• Dipole Interactions

– depend on the number of electrons – more electrons stronger forces– Bigger molecules

Dispersion forces

• When electrons temporarily ‘clump’ in one part of a molecule

• Results in a temporary attractive force from a temporary dipole

Dispersion Forces

• Also called London Forces or Van der Waals forces

• The larger the molecule, the greater the additive effect

Dispersion Forces

• This is why gasoline is a solid at room temperature, but methane is a gas

Dipole interactions

• Depend on the number of electrons

• More electrons stronger forces

• Bigger molecules more electrons

• Fluorine is a gas

• Bromine is a liquid

• Iodine is a solid

Dipole interactions• Occur when polar molecules are attracted to

each other.

• Slightly stronger than dispersion forces.

• Opposites attract but not completely hooked like in ionic solids.

Dipole Interactions

Hydrogen bonding

• Are the attractive force caused by hydrogen bonded to F, O, or N.

• F, O, and N are very electronegative so it is a very strong dipole.

• The hydrogen partially share with the lone pair in the molecule next to it.

• The strongest of the intermolecular forces.

Metallic Bonds

• Metals hold onto their valence electrons very weakly.

• Think of them as positive ions floating in a sea of electrons.

Metals are Malleable

• Hammered into shape (bend).
