History of the Atom & Bonding
2
Daltons Atomic Model Atom are solid and indivisible
Called the “Billiard Ball Model”
3
Thomson’s Model He Found the negatively charged
electron existed in a positive framework.
Electron - Negatively charged particles of the atom. Mass = 9.1 x 10^-28 grams
4
J. J. Thomson - English physicist. 1897
Made a piece of equipment called a cathode ray tube It is a vacuum tube - all the air has
been pumped out. A limited amount of other gases are
put in

Rutherford’s Atomic Model
Used Alpha particles - positively charged pieces given off by uranium.
Shot them at gold foil which can be made a few atoms thick.

Rutherford’s model Discovered the nucleus small dense
and positive Electrons
moved around in Electron cloud

He Expected The alpha particles to pass through
without changing direction very much. Because…
The positive charges were spread out evenly. Alone they were not enough to stop the alpha particles.

Atom is mostly empty. Small dense,
positive piece at center.
Alpha particles are deflected by
it if they get close enough.

Bohr’s Atomic Model Why don’t the electrons fall into the
nucleus? Electrons move like planets around
the sun. In circular orbits at different
levels. Energy separates one level from
another.

Modern View
The atom is mostly empty space.
Two regions. Nucleus- protons
and neutrons. Electron cloud-
region where you might find an electron.
26
The Quantum Mechanical Model Energy is quantized. It comes in chunks. Quanta - the amount of energy needed to move
from one energy level to another. Quantum is the leap in energy.
27
Does have energy levels for electrons.
Orbits are not circular. It can only tell us the
probability of finding an electron a certain distance from the nucleus.

28
The electron is found inside a blurry “electron cloud”
An area where there is a chance of finding an electron.

Ionic Compounds

8.1 Forming Chemical Bonds The force that holds two atoms together
is called a Chemical Bond. Chemical Bonds (ionic, covalent, metallic) : May form due to the attraction
between “+” charged nucleus and “–” charged electrons, or
May form due to the attraction between a Positive ion and a negative ion.
31
Valence Electrons are responsible for the chemical properties of atoms. Located in the outer energy level Involved in the formation of
chemical bonds between two atoms.
Total number of valence electrons = group number. (Na has 1, (Group 1 element)
32
Stable Electron Configurations All atoms react so as to achieve a
noble gas configuration of 8 valence electrons.
ls called the octet rule.
Ar
33
8.2 IONIC BONDS Ionic Bond-The electrostatic force that holds
oppositely charged particles (anions and cations) together in an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds result when metals react with nonmetals. Ionic compounds are called salts.
Simplest ratio is called the formula unit (Ca3P2).
The ionic bond is formed through the transfer of electrons.
Electrons are transferred to achieve noble gas configuration (8).

35
Ionic Bonds: One Big Greedy Thief Dog!
36
Properties of Ionic Compounds Crystalline lattice structure.
A 3-dimensional geometric arrangement of particles. Regular repeating arrangement of ions in the solid.
Ions are strongly bonded. Structure is hard and rigid. High melting points and boiling points-
because of strong forces between ions.
37
An ionic compound is an electrolyte if it conducts electricity when it is liquid or in aqueous solution.
Lattice energy- The strength of the force holding the ions together in an ionic compound. The more negative the number, the stronger the force.
Lattice energy must be exceeded in order to
break the ionic bond.
38
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. First get them to 800ºC. Dissolved in water they conduct.
39
Metallic Bonds How atoms are held together in the
solid. Metals hold onto their valence
electrons very weakly. Think of them as positive ions floating
in a sea of electrons.

Covalent Bonding
47
9.1 The Covalent Bond Covalent Bond – A chemical bond that
results from the sharing of valence electrons. Between nonmetallic elements of similar
electronegativity. A group of atoms united by a covalent bond
is called a molecule. A substance made up of molecules is called
a molecular substance. Molecules may have as few as two atoms.
(CO), (O2)
48
49
Polar Covalent Bonds: Unevenly matched, but willing to share.
50
The principle that describes covalent bonding is the Octet rule.
Atoms within a molecule will share electrons so as to acquire a full set (8) of valence electrons.
If each atom has 7 valence electrons, than they will share one so that they both will have 8. The sharing of that electron is a Single covalent bond.
51

F F8 Valence electrons
54
If more than two atoms join in a covalent bond the atoms with the fewest valence electrons will pair up with the atom that has the most up to a total of 8.
If a pair of electrons is not shared they are called an unshared pair.
If two atoms share two pairs of electrons it is called a double covalent bond.
If two atoms share three pairs of electrons it is called a triple covalent bond.
55
The Lewis structures that you have seen so far use a pair of dots to represent covalent bonds.
Another kind of Lewis structure uses dashes to represent covalent bonds.
A single dash represents a single covalent bond.
A double dash represents a double covalent bond
A triple dash represents a triple covalent bond.
