ELECTRONEGATIVITY
differences of those elements forming bonds.
• Trend of EN increases L
Electronegativity and Bond Classification
• Non-polar: equal sharing of electrons
• Polar: unequal sharing of electrons, stronger
Intermolecular forces (IMFs)
• Ionic: no sharing of electrons, transfer cation to anion
EN Difference Bond Classification
0.0 - 0.3 Non-polar covalent (NPC) 0.4 - 1.7 Polar covalent (PC)
Bonds, in general:
• Valence e- transferred or shared to create bonds to
achieve full octet
• The difference in electronegativity is not the only factor in
determining if a bond should be designated as ionic or covalent.
• Generally:
– bonds between a metal and nonmetal are ionic – bonds between two nonmetals are covalent
Ionic Compounds Structure & Prop.
• Contain a metal (cation, +) with anonmetal (anion, -)
• Transfer an electron
• Form crystal lattice structures • Solids at room temperature • Brittle
• High melting point
• Strong electrostatic force holds ions
together (Coulomb’s Law)
• Electrolytes (conduct as liquids or
Ionic Solids Brittle?
• Can be brittle due to
improper stacking or shifting of anions and cations
• The cations and anions in an
ionic crystal are arranged in a systematic, periodic 3-D array that maximizes the attractive forces among cations and

-1Predict Energy of bond?
• Use Coulomb’s Law to predict strength
of ionic bond:
• interaction strength is proportional to
the charge on each ion, larger charges lead to stronger interactions.
• interaction strength increases as the
distance between the centers of the ions (nuclei) decreases, smaller ions lead to stronger interactions.
*Can also be used to predict properties of two different ionic compounds,

is a halogen, Z. Which of the following is the most
valid scientific claim that can be made about the
compound?

Transition Metals and Ions
Because of their location, transition metals will
not usually form ions that have a noble-gas
configuration.
*Recall that transition metals will lose valence
shell (s sublevel) electrons first, then as many d
sublevel electrons as required to form the ion.

valence electrons from the metal atoms are considered to be delocalized and not associated with any
individual atom.

If the Au/Cu alloy is harder than the Au/Ag alloy, then which of the following is the best explanation based on the information in the table above? A.Cu has two common oxidation states, but Ag has only one.
B.Cu has a higher melting point than Au has, but Ag has a lower melting point than Au has.
C.Cu atoms are smaller than Ag atoms, thus they interfere more with the displacement of atoms in the alloy.
Covalent Bonding
• Nonmetals only
• Share electrons to achieve
octet
• Gases, liquids, or solids at
room temperature
• Low melting points
• Pliable or malleable materials • Use Lewis Structures to
Electrons involved in bonding: Valence
Lewis electron-dot symbols or Lewis symbols:
• Shows the element symbol surrounded by its
number of valence electrons.
• Can be used to represent metals or nonmetals • Examples:
Octet Rule:
Octet Rule: Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share
electrons until they are surrounded by eight
valence electrons.
A covalent bond is a chemical bond in which two or more electrons are shared by two atoms.

Formal Charge
Formal charge can be calculated to help determine the most favorable (lowest formal charges) Lewis
Structure if multiple structures exist. Rules:
1. All unshared electrons are assigned to the atom on which they are found.
2. For any bond – single, double or triple – half the bonding electrons are assigned to each atom in a bond.
3. Formal Charge = VE - # of e- assigned
Draw the possible structures: Ex: SCN- (Draw 3 possibilities)
*Favored structure is where formal charge is the
least.
*
Favored structure is also where the charge
exists on the more electronegative element
.
Use formal charge to determine which is
the best structure to depict the molecule

Bond Lengths
Triple bond < Double Bond < Single Bond
Bond Length and Strength Summary:
•
As number of bonds between atoms
increases, distance between bonded atoms
decreases.
•
In general:
– Single bonds have longest bond length – Triple bonds have shortest bond length

What about strength?
Resonance Bond Length and Bond Energy
Resonance bonds are shorter and stronger
than single bonds.
Resonance bonds are longer and weaker than double
bonds.
Bond Order
•
Bond order is the number of chemical bonds between
a pair of atoms and indicates the stability of a bond.
•
Bond order and length are
inversely proportional
to
each other: when bond order is increased, bond
length is decreased.
•
Bond Orders for Covalent Molecules:
– 0: No bond – 1: Single bond – 2: double bond – 3: triple bond
