Chemical Bonds

Chemical Bonds

• Chemical Bonds

- attractive force that holds atoms or ions together

- Chemical bonding are classified into 3 types

ionic, covalent, metallic

Chemical Bonding

Electronegativity – the tendency of an atom to attract electrons from a neighboring atom.

Hey! I find your electrons attractive!

Get lost, loser!

Electronegativity increases as you move from left to right.

Electronegativity decreases as you m

ove down each colum

n.

Valence Electrons

– electrons in the outermost occupied energy level.

- Valence electrons can be represented by “dots” drawn around the atom.

Atom – the smallest unit of matter

Heliumatom

7

Electron Shells

a) Atomic number = number of Electrons

b) Electrons vary in the amount of energy they possess, and they occur at certain energy levels or electron shells.

c) Electron shells determine how an atom behaves when it encounters other atoms

8

Electrons are placed in shells according to rules:

The 1st shell can hold up to two electrons, and each shell thereafter can hold up to 8 electrons.

9

Why are electrons important?

Elements have different electron configurations different electron configurations mean

different levels of bonding

10

Octet Rule = atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons so as to have 8 electrons

C would like to N would like toO would like to

Gain 4 electronsGain 3 electronsGain 2 electrons

11

Bonding

• Elements that do not have a complete octet, tend to react.

• When the elements react bonds are formed.

12

Some Common Ions

13

Chemical bonds: an attempt to fill electron shells

1. Ionic bonds

2. Covalent bonds

3. Metallic bonds

14

15

IONIC BOND

• A bond formed between two oppositely

ions by the transfer of electrons.• Each element (now an ion) will have a

complete octet after the transfer of electrons

When the electronegativities of two atoms are quite different from each other:

One atom loses an electron (or electrons)

The other atom gains an electron (or electrons)

This results in an Ionic Bond.

17

IONIC BOND

18

Formation of Ions from Metals

Ionic compounds result when metals react with nonmetals

Metals lose electrons to match the number of valence

electrons of their nearest noble gas

Positive ions form when the number of electrons are

less than the number of protons

Group 1 metals ion 1+

Group 2 metals ion 2+

• Group 13 metals ion 3+

The compound potassium fluorideconsists of potassium (K+) ions

The ionic bond is the attractionbetween the positive K+ ion

and the negative F- ion

33

COVALENT BOND

34

COVALENT BONDBond formed by the sharing of electrons

35

Covalent Bond

• Between nonmetallic elements of similar electronegativity.

• Formed by sharing electron pairs• Stable non-ionizing particles.• Examples; O2, CO2, C2H6, H2O

36

Covalent Bond

Non-polar Polar

37

when electrons are shared equally

Non-polar Covalent Bonds

H2 or Cl2

The octet is achieved byeach atom sharing theelectron pair in the middle

It is a single bondingThis is the bonding pair

Oxygen Molecule (O2)

42

Bonds in all the polyatomic ions and diatomics

are all covalent bonds

43

when electrons are shared but shared unequally

Polar Covalent Bonds

H2O

44

- water is a polar molecule because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, and therefore electrons are pulled closer to oxygen.

1. Define the following:a. Ionic bondb. Covalent bond

Compare between polar and non-polar covalent bond

METALLIC BOND

47

METALLIC BONDBond found in

metals; holds metal atoms together very strongly

48

Metallic Bond

• A lattice of positive ions in a sea of electrons

• Formed between atoms of metallic elements• Electron cloud around atoms • Examples; Na, Fe, Al, Au, Co

49

Sea of Electrons

50

This electrostatic attraction is called metallic bonding and is the reason why the positive metal ions do not repel each other.

The outer shell electrons separate from their atoms and become delocalized, creating a ‘sea of electrons’. The atoms become positive ions and are attracted to these electrons.

Metallic bonding

51

Properties of Metallic Bonds• Good electrical conductors - free electrons

can move through the lattice carrying charge (GR).

• Conduct heat because of free electrons• Lusterous – absorb and emit light in regular

pattern due to free electrons

52

• Malleable (can be hammered into different shapes) and ductile ( can be drawn into wires) – not in rigid position so ions can be shaped and drawn into wires
