Why do atoms form bonds?Why do atoms form bonds?

To attain a noble gas configuration.

How do atoms form bonds?How do atoms form bonds?

By gaining, losing, or sharing electrons.

Gain or loss of electrons ionic bondingSharing of electrons Sharing of electrons covalent bonding covalent bonding

The electrons are shared, but not transferred.

Often formed between 2 nonmetal atoms of the same element.

If Attractions are If Attractions are greater than greater than Repulsions, a Repulsions, a bond is formed.bond is formed.

Recognizing covalent formulasRecognizing covalent formulas

• Covalent bonding occurs between nonmetal atoms.

• Formulas contain nonmetals.

MoleculeMolecule

A + B A + B AB + energy AB + energy

• A and B are both atoms

• AB is a molecule

• In this particular case, no bonds are broken and one bond is formed.

• Energy is released.

• The reaction is exothermic.

A + B A + B AB + energy AB + energy

• A bond is formed & energy is released.

• AB has less potential energy than A + B.

• AB is more stable than A + B

BBreaking a Bond reaking a Bond AAbbsorbs Energy!sorbs Energy!

CD + energy CD + energy C + D C + D

• CD is a molecule; C and D are atoms.

• One bond is broken; no bonds are formed.

• This reaction is endothermic.

• C and D have higher potential energy than CD.

Structure of Covalent CompoundsStructure of Covalent Compounds

• They form molecules.

• The more reactants you have, the more molecules you can make.
