Ionic, Metallic and Covalent Bonding
Writing and Naming Formulas
Chemical bond
force that holds two atoms together
opposites attract
the attraction between the positive nucleus of one atom and the negative electrons of another atom
Chemical bonds are formed by:
or by the attraction between positive and negative ions
Krypton
Iron in oxygen Potassium in water
Valence electrons
found in outermost energy level
electrons available to be lost, gained, or shared in the formation of chemical compounds
Octet Rule
Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to acquire a full set of eight valence electrons; stable noble gas configuration.
Three types of bonds:1. Ionic transfer of electrons between metal and nonmetal (or polyatomic ion)2. Metallic electron sea model; atoms of same metal 3. Covalent – sharing of electrons between nonmetals; may be same or different elements
atom, or a bonded group of atoms, that has a positive or negative charge
Ion
Ionic bond
electrostatic force that holds oppositely charged particles together
Positive ion formation
atom loses one or more valence electrons
cations
Write an electron configuration for sodium.
Write an electron configuration for neon.
What is the only difference in the electron configurations of these two elements?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions called cations.
Metals lose all valence electrons so that next energy level is full.

When naming compounds,do not change name ofpolyatomic ion.
Three types of bonds:1. Ionic transfer of electrons between metal and nonmetal (or polyatomic ion)2. Metallic electron sea model; atoms of same metal 3. Covalent – sharing of electrons between nonmetals; may be same or different elements
Why do atoms bond?
to obtain a full outer energy level; complete octet
to become more stable; lower potential energy
Electronegativity (EN)
indicates relative ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond
Metals
low EN; tend to give up electrons
Nonmetals
high EN; tend to gain electrons
What happens when two nonmetals, with similar EN, react?
Covalent bond
chemical bond that results from the sharing of valence electrons
generally formed between two nonmetals (same or different element)
electrons are attracted by the nuclei of two different atoms
Molecule
formed when two or more atoms bond covalently
Naming binary molecular compounds
1. First element; use entire element name.
2. Second element ends in –ide.
3. Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element – the subscripts.

Electronegativity (EN)
indicates the relative ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond
Type of bond formed between two atoms depends on the difference in electronegativities (EN) of the atoms.
Difference in electronegativity (EN)
locate elements on periodic table
subtract values for EN
EN always positive
Ex: hydrogen and chlorine
EN = 3.16 – 2.20 = 0.96
Polar covalent bond
unequal sharing of electrons
one atom pulling electrons towards itself
Covalent bonds may be:
atom with higher EN value has a partial negative charge ()
atom with lower EN value has a partial positive charge ()
Ex: hydrogen and chlorine
EN = 3.16 – 2.20 = 0.96
Nonpolar covalent bond
electrons shared equally
no partial charges
Covalent bonds may be:
Most bonds are not completely ionic or covalent.
EN Bond Character
> 1.7 Ionic
0.4 – 1.7 polar covalent
< 0.4nonpolar covalent
Classify the following bonds as nonpolar- covalent, polar-covalent, or ionic. If bond is polar-covalent, assign partial charges.

H and Br

ions arranged in a regular repeating pattern called crystal lattice
Properties of ionic compounds
ions held together by strongionic bonds
Properties of ionic compounds
high melting and boiling points; much energy needed to separate ions
hard, rigid, brittle solids
Properties of ionic compounds
do not conduct electricity in solid state
aqueous solutions and liquid states are electrolytes - conduct electricity since ions are free to move
Properties of molecularcompounds
covalent bonds between atoms are strong, but attraction forces between molecules are weak
relatively weak forces of attraction between molecules
Intermolecular forces
also known as van der Waals forces
Properties of molecular compounds
relatively low melting and boiling points; many gases or liquids at room temperature
Properties of molecular compounds
do not conduct electricity when dissolved in water; except for acids
Metallic bond
outer energy levels of metal atoms overlap
valence electrons are shared by several atoms; delocalized (free to move)
electron sea model
attraction of a metallic cation for delocalized electrons
Metallic bond
Properties of metals
Properties of metals
moderately high melting points and high boiling points; most solids are room temperature
the more delocalized electrons a metal has, the greater its strength and hardness; groups 1 & 2 soft
Metals are malleable (hammered into thin sheets) and ductile (drawn into wires.)
good conductors of heat and electricity; electrons mobile
delocalized electrons interact with light, giving metals luster (shiny)
Three types of bonds:
1.Ionic – transfer of e-
metal and nonmetal
2. Metallic electron sea model; atoms of same metal
3. Covalent – sharing of e-
nonmetals
