Bonding Basics

I. Electronegativity and Bonding

 Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons .

 No electronegativity difference (0) between two atoms leads to a pure non-polar covalent bond.

 A small electronegativity difference (0-2.0) leads to a polar covalent bond.

 A large electronegativity difference leads to (2.0 or more) an ionic bond.

Which type of bond will be formed by Au and O?___________

Which type of bond will be formed by F and Cl? ____________

II. Intramolecular

Intramolecular bonds:

Intramolecular bonds are those within a molecule or compound.

These bonds are relatively strong

Methane

Intramolecular bond

II. Intramolecular (Within a molecule

– strong forces)

Intramolecular bond

Ionic Bonds

Between metal (cation) and nonmetal (anion) that transfer valence electrons in order to gain octets/be more stable

Attraction between positive and negative ions results in the formation of crystalline structures with high melting points

Picture:

Ionic Bonds

Ionic solids break apart into positive and negative ions when in solution (known as electrolytes) these solutions conduct electricity

Electrolytes and Batteries

Many batteries contain two metals with different electronegativities and some sort of electrolyte solution.

(This simple voltaic cell contains an acid as the electrolyte)

Covalent Bonds

Picture:

Between 2 or more nonmetals that share valence electrons to gain an octet

Sharing of electrons results in the formation of molecular compounds with low melting points

Molecules do not break apart in solution, so do not conduct electricity (nonelectrolytes)

Covalent Bonds

Can be polar

uneven sharing of electrons leads to partial charges

Or, nonpolar  even

sharing of electrons leads to no partial charges

Water: A polar covalent molecule

Polar (partially charged)

Nonpolar (no charges)

Covalent Bond

“Like dissolves like” – Polar substances will only dissolve in polar

substances. Water is polar.

Oil is nonpolar. They do not dissolve in one another!

By the way,

 Sometimes nonmetals form network solids

 For example, carbon atoms can arrange themselves into solids such as diamonds or graphite

Ionic and covalent bonding

Which solution contains a salt (ionic compound)?

Which solution contains a nonpolar covalent compound?

Ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent?

Ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent?

Ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent?

Picture:

Metallic Bond

Between metal ions (cations) that have loosely-held electrons called a

“sea of electrons”

Freely-flowing electrons create metallic solids that are malleable and conductive

Metallic bonding

Metallic Bond

Most metals used in daily life are alloys

- combinations of elements that contain one or more metal

III. Intermolecular Bonds

Intermolecular forces are between separate molecules

These bonds are relatively weak

Dipole-dipole forces:

Between polar covalent molecules or any molecule with a permanent dipole (partial charge)

Partial positive charges are attracted to partial negative charges - creates weak bond between molecules

Picture:

Hydrogen Bonds (a type of dipole-dipole bond)

Hydrogen Bond:

A hydrogen bond is a special dipole-dipole interaction between molecules with a hydrogen atom bonded to another atom with a relatively high electronegativity like O,

N, or F

Hydrogen has a lower electronegativity, so it is partially positive (  +)

Hydrogen Bond

Partially positive hydrogens are attracted to partially negative ends of other molecules – creates weak bond between water molecules that makes water “sticky”

Inter and Intramolecular Bonds

London Dispersion Forces

Occurs due to random movement of electrons and occasional “pile-ups” of electrons on one side of atom

Temporary dipoles

(charged areas) can be created very briefly and cause atoms to be very weakly attracted to each other

Picture:

London dispersion forces

Geckos use London dispersion forces to climb up surfaces

London Dispersion Forces

Dispersion forces are greater for larger atoms
