ClClHowwilltwochlorineatomsreact?
ClClEach chlorine atom wants to gain one electron to achieve an octet
ClClNeither atom will give up an electron –chlorine is highly electronegative.
What’s the solution – what can theydo to achieve an octet?

ClCl
circle the electrons foreach atom that completestheir octets
This is the bonding pair
ClCl
circle the electrons foreach atom that completestheir octets
It is a single bonding pair
ClCl
circle the electrons foreach atom that completestheir octets
It is called a SINGLE BOND
Cl Cl

Oxygen is also one of the diatomic molecules
How will two oxygen atoms bond?

Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative.
So both atoms want to gain two electrons.

• When two pairs of electrons are shared it is called a double bond.
H H \ / C C / \ H H
• When three pairs of electrons are shared it is called a triple bond.
H-C C-H
• When two pairs of electrons are shared it is called a double bond.
H H \ / C C / \ H H
• When three pairs of electrons are shared it is called a triple bond.
H-C C-H
Ionic Bonding
• Ionic Bonds
– Ionic bonding occurs when one atom transfers an electron to another atom
•This occurs when a metal reacts with a nonmetal
• Ionic Bonds
– Ionic bonding occurs when one atom transfers an electron to another atom
•This occurs when a metal reacts with a nonmetal
Na+1 + Cl-1 ® NaCl (table salt)
• Two rules for keeping track of electrons in ionic bonding reactions.
–Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration (octet rule)
–The number of electrons that are lost must equal the number of electrons that are gained.

– Ionic Compounds
– Compounds that are held together by ionic bonds are called ionic compounds.• The elements in Group IA and IIA tend to lose
electrons for form positive ions (Cations)
• The elements in Group VIA and VIIA tend to gain electrons to form negative ions. (Anions)

IONICBONDING
In an IONIC bond,electrons are lost or gained,resulting in the formation of IONSin ionic compounds.
