Chemical
Bonding
A bond is when 2 or
more atoms combine
to:
1.
Lower their energy
Covalent Bonds
• A covalent bond is a bond in which
the atoms share electrons in an overlapping manner.
• They are formed between two non-metals.
• There are two types of covalent
Non-polar
Covalent Bonds
• A non-polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms, resulting in a balanced
Non-polar
Covalent Bonds
• Examples of non-polar covalent
bonds are the diatomic elements.
Polar Covalent
Bonds
• A polar covalent bond is a
covalent bond in which the
bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared
• One way to tell the difference between a polar and non-polar covalent bond is by the
electronegativities. If the
electronegativities are equal the compound is non-polar. If the electronegativities are not equal the compound is polar.
• Another way to tell a difference
between a polar and non-polar molecule is if a molecule is
symmetrical, its non-polar and if it isn’t, it is polar.
• Water is a polar molecule.
• Molecules can be held together by single, double, or even triple covalent bonds.
• In a single bond the atoms share 2 electrons.
• In a double bond the atoms share 4 electrons.
• In a triple bond the atoms share 6 electrons.
Covalent
Ionic Bonding
• An ionic compound is composed of a positive and a negative ions that are combined so that the number of positive and negative charges are equal.
•
Example: NaCl
Bonding
• One way to tell if a compound is covalent or ionic is by the
electronegativities of the atoms. If you subtract the electronegativities of both atoms and you come out
• Example:
HCl:
H has a electronegativity of 2.5 Cl has a electronegativity of 3.2 Therefore it is a polar covalent
molecule.
Polyatomic Ions
• A polyatomic ion is a compound of two or more covalently bonded
atoms with a charge.
• These ions are found on reference table E.
• Examples: OH-, NH
VSEPR Theory
• Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion

AB2 BeF2 Linear
AB3 BF3 Trigonal planar AB4 CH4 Tetrahedral
AB3E NH3 Trigonal pyramid AB2E SnCl2 Bent
• Metallic bonding is the chemical
bonding that results from the
attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of
electrons.
Intermolecular
Forces of
Attraction
Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction between
Dipole-Dipole
Forces
• The forces of attraction
Hydrogen Bonding
• Hydrogen bonding is a very
strong dipole-dipole attraction that only occurs between
hydrogens and small
electronegative atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.
Van der Waal
Forces
• Van der Waal forces are forces that hold non-polar molecules together. • Some examples are the diatomic
Network Solids
• A network solid is an strong on going link of non-polar covalent bonds.
• Examples:
–Diamonds
–Silicon
–Sand (SiO2)
