Chemical Bonds, Lewis Symbols, and the Octet Rule Chemical bond:
attractive force holding two or more atoms together. Covalent bond
results from sharing electrons between the atoms. Usually found
between nonmetals. Ionic bond results from the transfer of
electrons from a metal to a nonmetal. Metallic bond: attractive
force holding pure metals together.

Chemical Bonds, Lewis Symbols, and the Octet Rule
The Octet Rule All noble gases except He has an s2p6
configuration. Octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose, or share
electrons until they are surrounded by 8 valence electrons (4
electron pairs). Caution: there are many exceptions to the octet
rule.
Bond Polarity and ElectronegativityElectronegativity
Electronegativity: The ability of one atoms in a molecule to
attract electrons to itself. Pauling set electronegativities on a
scale from 0.7 (Cs) to 4.0 (F). Electronegativity increases across
a period and down a group.

and Bond Polarity There is no sharp distinction between bonding
types. The positive end (or pole) in a polar bond is represented +
and the negative pole -.

Exceptions to the Octet Rule Central Atoms Having Less than an
Octet Relatively rare. Molecules with less than an octet are
typical for compounds of Groups 1A, 2A, and 3A. Most typical
example is BF3. Formal charges indicate that the Lewis structure
with an incomplete octet is more important than the ones with
double bonds.
Exceptions Central Atoms - Less than an Octet
Exceptions to the Octet RuleCentral Atoms Having More than an
Octet This is the largest class of exceptions. Atoms from the 3rd
period onwards can accommodate more than an octet. Beyond the third
period, the d-orbitals are low enough in energy to participate in
bonding and accept the extra electron density.

VSEPR ModelThe Effect of Nonbonding Electrons
By experiment, the H-X-H bond angle decreases on moving from C
to N to O:H H C H H 109.5O H N H H 107O H H 104.5O O
Since electrons in a bond are attracted by two nuclei, they do
not repel as much as lone pairs. Therefore, the bond angle
decreases as the number of lone pairs increases HyperChem

Covalent Bonding and Orbital OverlapGems - Movie Clip
Lewis structures and VSEPR do not explain why a bond forms. How
do we account for shape in terms of quantum mechanics? What are the
orbitals that are involved in bonding? We use Valence Bond Theory:
Bonds form when orbitals on atoms overlap. There are two electrons
of opposite spin in the orbital overlap.
Figure 9.14: Covalent Bonding and Orbital Overlap
VSEPR Model (Figure 9.6)
To determine the electron pair geometry: draw the Lewis
structure, count the total number of electron pairs around the
central atom, arrange the electron pairs in one of the above
geometries to minimize e--e- repulsion, and count multiple bonds as
one bonding pair.

There are 4 valence electrons (from periodic table). In the
Lewis structure there are 2 nonbonding electrons and 3 from the
triple bond. There are 5 electrons from the Lewis structure. Formal
charge: 4 - 5 = -1.
