This presentation has 8 groups.
Periods in the Periodic System of
elements are called shells;
subshells (s, p, d, f…) contain
orbitals (s:1, p: 3, d: 5, f: 7), and
each orbital can be occupied by 2
electrons with opposite spins.
Elements are classified in groups
having similar chemical
characteristics. Noble gases have
completely filled p orbital with 8 e-.
4s orbital is populated before 3d.
Before we continue with filling 4p,
10 e- must go into 3d. We put
them in a loop since we are
stalled filling 4th shell.

Chemical Bonding
A molecule is a collection of atoms bound together. It is considered as an element if all
atoms are of the same type (e.g. H2), or a compound if it is made of different atoms.
A bond between two atoms of hydrogen will occur spontaneously if the atoms are within
a close proximity, i.e. when attractive forces between the nucleus of one atom and the eof the other overcome repulsive forces among their e-, thus pulling the atoms together.

In a covalent bond between two hydrogen
atoms, each atom apparently has 2 electrons in
its shell. That gives each H atom the electronic
configuration of the closest noble gas, He.
Electrons are shared between two atoms.

The bond that is
formed is called
covalent bond.
(Co-means partner,
valent refers to
valence electrons).
It always releases
energy.
Filled-shell e- (or core e-) are almost
never involved in the bond as they
are too close to their own nucleus.

other and
will never

Molecules and the Octet Rule
Elements ‘want’ to have the electronic configuration identical to that of noble gas (8e-).
When form a molecule, atoms achieve the octet (8e-) by sharing e- with other atoms.
Hydrogen is an exception, as it only needs
one more electron to fill its 1s orbital.
How many electrons an element needs
to satisfy the octet rule can be found by
observing the Roman numerals in the
periodic table.

in lone pairs
The central atom must form multiple bonds,
hence H can never be the central atom.
Step 3: Subtract 2e- for each bond
from total #e- to get #e- in lone pairs.
Step 4: Put in the remaining
electrons, two at a time, as lone
pairs. Start with the terminal atoms,
and continue with the central atom if
there are any electron pairs left.
Step 5: Check that each atom has
octet satisfied (doublet for H). If not,
move electron pair(s) from the
adjacent atom to form multiple bonds.
Practice with CO32-, SO3, etc.

The bond between metals and non-metals is usually ionic. Metals give away
their e- and become positively charged (cations). Nonmetals accept them
and become anions. The ionic bond is formed as a result of attraction
between oppositely charged ions. The compound is called ionic compound,
and the three-dimensional ordered network of the ions is called ionic lattice.
Electronegativity and the
Polar Covalent Bond
The difference in EN defines the bond.
DEN = 0, covalent; DEN = 1.0, polar
covalent (23% ionic); DEN = 1.9, polar
covalent (60% ionic); DEN > 1.9, ionic.
Electrons are rarely
shared equally
between atoms.
Electronegativity (EN) is numerical rating
of an atoms ability to attract to itself the
shared electrons in a covalent bond.
Generally, electronegativity of metals is low,
and that of nonmetals is high.
The least electronegative atom (except
H!) is the central atom in dot structures.
Polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in
which e- are shared unequally (large DEN).
A partial negative charge (d-)
occurs on the more EN atom.
A partial positive charge (d+)
occurs on the less EN atom.
Ionic and covalent are two extremes at
the ends of a continuum bonding types.
The Shape of the Molecules
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is the
model mostly used to predict molecular shape.
Electron pairs on the central atom repel one another.
The two dimensional dot structure of methane, CH4. gives the angles
between electron pairs of 90o. But the dot structure angles are arbitrary.
Molecules are three dimensional, and the electron pairs would be further
away if the third dimension is considered. In fact, the shape of methane
molecule is tetrahedral; the bond angles between electron pairs is 109.5o.

H–C–H

H
Four electron pairs around an atom assume tetrahedral arrangement.
When there are not enough electrons for single bonds the molecule
forms multiple bonds and the structure differs. VSEPR theory treats
each multiple bond as a single electron group, because it occupies
roughly the same region of space. The number of electron groups
around an atom is called the atom’s steric number (SN).
Dot structures of formaldehyde
and acetylene are arbitrarily
shown with angles of 90o.
Their true geometry has
bond angles of 120o and
180o, respectively.

True geometry
If the central atom has a
lone pair of electrons, that
electron pair is included
in the molecular shape.
The dot diagram of

The steric number on

The e- pairs on the N

bonding pairs. They
squeeze H-N-H bond
angle to approx. 107o.
Rule of thumb: each lone pair of e- on a
period-2 atom compresses the remaining
bond angles around that atom by ~2o.
Using VSEPR
1. Draw a dot diagram.
2. Count the number of epairs around the central
atom, including lone pairs
(i.e. the steric number, SN).
A multiple bond counts as a
single e- group.
3. Find the best
arrangement of the
electrons using SN.

describe the resulting
shape of the molecule.

Water and Properties of Liquids
Liquids have intermediate properties between solids
and gases. Liquids are almost incompressible, have
definite volume and assume the shape of the container.
Densities of
liquids are
usually lower
than that of their
solids. Water is
an exception.
Evaporation or vaporization is the escape of
molecules from liquid into gaseous state.
During evaporation, liquid that stays behind is
cooler. The opposite process is condensation.
Sublimation is the escape of molecules directly
from solid into gas, bypassing liquid state.
Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a gas at
evaporation
equilibrium with its liquid, so that:

temperature, not on the amount of
liquid.

Qheating = (mass) (spec.heat) (temp.change)
Qtot = Qfusion + Qheating + Qvaporization
Qfusion = (20.0 g) x (335 J/g)
