Bonding:
1. Atoms gain, lose or share electrons to form bonds.
2. When bonds FORM, energy is RELEASED
3. When bonds BREAK, energy has been absorbed
4. There are 3 TYPES of bonds: Ionic, Covalent, and Metallic
5. Ionic Bonding:
a) Involves a transfer of electrons
b) from the “metal to the nonmetal”
c) forming CATIONS ( + ions) and ANIONS (- ions)
d) takes place essentially between
a Metal/ Nonmetal Ex. NaCl
a Metal/ Pai
Ex. K2SO4
a Pai/ Pai
Ex. (NH4)2CO3
a Pai/Nonmetal
Ex. NH4Cl
6. Compds with Pai’s have BOTH ionic and covalent bonds
Ex. NaOH (ionic holds the Na+ to the OH-, BUT covalent
holds the O to the H)
7. Metallic Bonding:
a) holds all atoms of a metal together
b) “sea of mobile valence electrons” surround
positive metal ions
c) accounts for great electric conductivity of
metals
8. Covalent Bonding:
a) involves a SHARING of electrons
between 2 or more of the SAME or DIFFERENT
nonmetals
b) polar covalent bonds: unequal share
mostly between 2 DIFF nonmetals Ex. HCl
c) nonpolar covalent: equal share
between 2 of SAME nonmetals Ex. H-H
9. VSEPR theory=electrons repulse each other. This
affects bond angles and shape.
Shape etc, helps predict properties.

Trigonal
planar
tetrahedral
bent
linear

11. Dipole: molecule with 2 Di-fferent ends; a dipole has
BOTH polar bonds AND asymmetry
12. POLARITY of the WHOLE MOLECULE:
Polar Molecules are ASYMMETRICAL
( uneven charge distribution)
Ex. H----F, NH3
Nonpolar Molecules are SYMMETRICAL
(even charge distribution)
Ex. H---H, CH4
13. POLAR MOLECULES must have polar
bonds BUT NONPOLAR molecules COULD
have either nonpolar OR polar BONDS

14. Bonds are between atoms WHILE Forces of attraction
(IMF’s) are BETWEEN molecules. Ex. Dipole-dipole,
and Hydrogen “Bonding”, and London Dispersion
15. Dipole-Dipole IMF attraction: a weak force of attraction
between 2 dipole molecules, in which the slightly + end of
one, is attracted to the slightly (-) end of the other. Ex.
between HCl and HCl
16. Hydrogen "bonding": Strongest IMF due to EXTREME
dipole-dipole IMF; characterized by
H---F, H---O, and H---N bonds [et FON Home];
accounts for the high b.p. of water
17. London dispersion: exists between nonpolar
molecules despite no polar ends to attract each other
until instantaneous (induced) dipole moment forms;
increases as molecule distance decreases and as mass
increases.
