Study Notes
Chemical Bonding Chapter Overview
- Atoms form compounds by joining together, losing their individual identities as elements.
- These joins are called chemical bonds.
- The joining of atoms is ultimately driven by electron interactions.
- The chapter introduces tools to illustrate electrons in atoms.
Bonding Models and AIDS Drugs
- 10.1 describes bonding models and their use in drug analysis.
- Subsections cover various aspects of this.
Representing Valence Electrons with Dots
- Lewis electron dot diagrams represent valence electrons around an element symbol.
- The number of dots corresponds to the number of valence electrons.
- Dots are arranged symmetrically, with a maximum of two per side.
Lewis Structures of Ionic Compounds – Electrons Transferred
- Ions are formed by the gain or loss of electrons to achieve a stable octet (eight valence electrons)
- Gaining electrons forms anions (−)
- Losing electrons forms cations (+).
- Sodium chloride (NaCl) is used as an example of electron transfer and ionic bond formation.
- Atoms like sodium lose electrons easily (low electronegativity) and atoms like chlorine gain them readily (high electronegativity).
- The resulting ions are oppositely charged and attract each other to form an ionic bond.
- The octet rule explains why atoms prefer eight valence electrons.
Lewis Structures of Covalent Compounds – Electrons Shared
- Atoms share electrons to achieve a stable octet in covalent bonds.
- Hydrogen and halogens typically form single bonds.
- Covalent bonds can form between different elements (e.g., hydrogen and fluorine).
- Double bonds share two pairs of electrons, triple bonds three pairs.
- Molecules may require multiple bonds to satisfy the octet rule (e.g., carbon-carbon double bond in ethane).
Resonance - Equivalent Lewis Structures for the Same Molecule
- Some molecules can have multiple valid Lewis structures (resonance structures).
- Actual structure is a hybrid of these possible structures.
- The bonding lengths are in between single and double bond lengths.
- This concept is shown with instances, such as ozone (O3).
Predicting the Shapes of Molecules
- Molecular shapes are determined by valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory.
- Electron pairs repel each other to maximize distance.
- This leads to specific geometries for molecules.
- Shapes depend on the number of bonded atoms and lone pairs around the central atom.
- VSEPR theory explains linear, trigonal planar, and tetrahedral shapes.
- Molecules with fewer bonded atoms than electron groups have bent shapes (e.g., H₂O).
Electronegativity and Polarity
- Electronegativity is an atom's ability to attract shared electrons.
- A large electronegativity difference between atoms leads to a polar covalent bond.
- Polar molecules have unequal electron distribution, one end slightly positive and the other slightly negative).
- Nonpolar molecules have a symmetrical distribution of electrons.
- Dipole moments illustrate the polarization of molecules.
