We’re headed to the McMaster ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Museum of Art! Meet in front of the MMA at 11:25 am! Chem 2 1A03 Bonding Involves transfer or sharing of outer electrons, usually to acquire a stable configuration (Lewis) Ionic bonding (transfer of electrons) ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Usually between a metal and non-metal Na [Ne]3s1 becomes Na+ [Ne] Cl [Ne]3s23p5 becomes Cl− [Ar] Chem 3 © 1A03 Covalent Bonding Covalent bonding Sharing of electrons Often to attain an octet of electrons Often between 2 non-metals Lewis structure shows all electrons as equivalent ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Bonds depicted as lines : : H : Cl : H Cl : : : Chem 4 1A03 Electronegativity (EN) – The Trend Atom’s ability to compete for e− in a bond Trend: EN increases across a period and up a group Pauling scale: F 4.0 (highest EN) ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Chem 5 © 1A03 Bond Polarity Polar covalent bonds Unequal sharing of e− + - Indicated by polar arrow and partial charges H Cl Dictated by the difference in electronegativity (EN) ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University between atoms EN Bonding Example Large (> 1.9) Ionic NaCl (EN ≈ 2.23) Intermediate Polar Covalent PCl5 (EN ≈ 0.97) (0.5 - 1.9) Small (< 0.5) Pure Covalent Cl2 (EN ≈ 0) Chem 6 1A03 Electrostatic Potential Maps ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Effect of EN on charge distribution 7 Chem © 1A03 Lewis Structures Show bonding (b) and non-bonding (nb) e−, and formal charges 'Complete shells’ can be achieved by combination of bonding and nonbonding e− (lone pairs) A complete shell is typically an octet with the following ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University exceptions Hydrogen is satisfied with 1 electron pair Beryllium can be satisfied with 2 electron pairs Boron/Aluminum can be satisfied with 3 electron pairs Elements in periods 3 and beyond can have expanded octets if involved as the central atom Bonding e− can be involved in single, double, triple bonds Chem 8 1A03 Drawing Lewis Structures 1. Count total # of valence e- including charge of structure Add e- for negative charge, subtract e- for positive charge 2. Draw skeletal structure (central and terminal atoms) Least electronegative atom is usually the central atom Hydrogen and Fluorine are always terminal 3. Use remaining e- to complete octet of terminal atoms (or 2 e- for hydrogen) ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University 4. Subtract all e- used in previous steps and place any remaining e- on the central atom. Sometimes leads to expanded octets 5. Calculate formal charges (FC) on each atom FC = (Valence e- - ½ bonding e- - nonbonding e-) 6. Minimize formal charges by creating multiple bonds using nonbonding electrons Typically happens when neighbouring atoms have opposite charges 7. Ensure all atom have an allowed electron count (C, N, O, F must obey octet rule; some elements need to have at least or exactly 8 electrons in valence shell) 9 Chem 1A03 BF3 B: 1x3= 3 F: 3x7= 21 Formal Charge: Total e─= 24 F: 7−½(2)−6= 0 B: 3−½(6)−0= 0 ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Initial e─: 24 Bonds: −6 18 Outer e─: −18 0 Chem 10 © 1A03 NO3− N: 1x5= 5 Formal Charge: O: 3x6= 18 O: 6−½(2)−6= −1 charge= 1 N: 5−½(6)−0= +2 Total e─= 24 ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Initial e─: 24 Formal Charge: Bonds: −6 O: 6−½(2)−6= −1 18 O: 6−½(4)−4= 0 Outer e─: −18 N: 5−½(8)−0= +1 0 If a molecule is charged: Negative formal charge typically on the most electronegative atom Positive formal charge typically on the least electronegative atom Chem 11 © 1A03 BrOF2+ Br: 1x7= 7 O: 1x6= 6 F: 2x7= 14 charge= −1 Formal Charge: Total e─= 26 F: 7−½(2)−6= 0 O: 6−½(2)−6= −1 Br: 7−½(6)−2= +2 ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Initial e─: 26 Bonds: −6 Formal Charge: 20 F: 7−½(2)−6= 0 Outer e─: −18 O: 6−½(4)−4= 0 2 Br: 7−½(8)−2= +1 Center e─: −2 0 If a molecule is charged: Negative formal charge typically on the most electronegative atom Positive formal charge typically on the least electronegative atom Chem 12 © 1A03 iClicker #1 Select the most appropriate Lewis structure for chlorate anion (ClO3–) that shows all lone pairs of electrons.

Electron pairs repel one another ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University Repulsion increases: bond pair/bond pair < bond pair/lone pair < lone pair/lone pair More generally: We should use electron groups instead of electron pairs. An electron group includes bond pair, lone pair, a single electron, double or triplet bond. Chem 22 © 1A03 A note about VSEPR Theory In the OpenStax textbook, the authors claim that the order of repulsive power, from largest to smallest, is: lone pair > triple bond > double bond > single bond McMaster researchers have shown that double bonds ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University occupy slightly more space than a lone pair. (See this reference by Gary Schrobilgen.) Correct order of repulsive power, from largest to smallest: triple bond > double bond > lone pair > single bond Chem 23 1A03 VSEPR Classes AXnEm A = central atom X = atoms bonded to the central atom E = lone electron pairs Electron group geometry dictates the observed ©2008 – 2024 McMaster University molecular shape (watch where they are different!)
