•Ionic compounds are composed of both metals and nonmetals. The bond that is formed is based on electrostatic forces between negatively(anion) and positively(cation) charged ions.

Ionic Compounds

•Ionic bonding occurs by the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another

Properties

• usually solid at room temperature• have high melting points• usually do not conduct electricity as

a solid• usually dissolve in water• usually conduct electricity when in

solution or molten state

•An ion is an atom or group of atoms that have a charge. Atoms normally have a neutral charge because most often they have the same number of electrons and protons. They become ions by the loss or addition of one or more electrons. This process is called ionization. •An ion that has more electrons than protons is called an anion, and an ion that has fewer electrons than protons is called a cation.

Ionic Bonds

Ionic Bonds

•The interaction of ionic bonds is when atoms gain or lose electrons until the outer shell of electrons is full and stable with 8 electrons. This is part of the octet rule.

•Recall octet rule:

When atoms combine to form molecules they generally each lose, gain, or share valence electrons until they attain or share eight and reach a noble gas electron configuration

Ionic Bonds•The number of electrons the atom gains, loses, or shares is called its Valence.

•Nonmetals usually have four or more electrons in their outer shell. To make their outer shell full, it’s easier(it takes less ionization energy) for them to gain three or four electrons than to lose four or five electrons.

•When you look at the metals, they usually have three or less electrons in their outer shell. Opposite from nonmetals, it is easier for metals to lose three or less electrons than to gain four or more.

•Therefore it makes sense that metals and nonmetals bond together easily.

Lewis Dot Structure

•In 1902 Gilbert Newton Lewis invented the valance bond theory.

•Lewis came up with an easy way to represent electrons in the outer shells of ions. His invention is called “Lewis Dot Symbols”.

•Lewis structures are used to visualize the valence electrons of elements. In the Lewis model, an element symbol is inside the valence electrons of the s and p subshells of the outer ring.

Lewis Dot Structures

Lewis Dot Structure

1)Draw skeletal structure of compound showing what atoms are bonded to each other. Put least electronegative element in the center.

2)Count total number of valence e-. Add 1 for each negative charge. Subtract 1 for each positive charge.

3)Complete an octet for all atoms except hydrogen

4)If structure contains too many electrons, form double and triple bonds on central atom as needed.

Lewis Dot Structure

Example:

Sulfur has 16 electrons. You can show this by using the method you learned earlier in the year [Ne]3s23p4. You can see from using this method that there are 6 electrons in the outer shell of sulfur. Sulfur can be represented in Lewis dots when you follow these rules:

1. The element symbol is placed in the center. 2. Dots, representing electrons, are placed on all four sides of the element. 3. Each side can hold 2 electrons. 4. You must put an electron on each side (if possible) before filling up a side.

Lewis Dot Structure

This is what sulfur looks like according to the Lewis Dot Chart:

Lewis Dot Structure

Covalent Compounds

• Covalent compounds are made up of two nonmetals. A single covalent bond is formed when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms

• There are two types of covalent bonds: non-polar covalent and polar covalent.

Properties

• simple molecular substances have low melting and boiling points

• larger more complex compounds will have higher melting and boiling points

• usually do not conduct electricity as a solid or when molten or in solution

• usually do not dissolve in water

Non-Polar Covalent Bonding

• Accounts for the bond that keeps two atoms of the same element together. (Cl2, H2)

• Atoms share electrons from ½ filled orbitals to achieve noble gas configurations

• Shared electrons are attracted to both nuclei, which keeps atoms together

• Electrons involved in bonding are called shared electron pairs, ones that are not are called lone electron pairs

Polar Covalent Bonds• Account for the bonding found in HF• One electron from each. atom is shared but not

equally due to unequal attraction for shared electrons• The bond is referred to as polar because 2 poles are

formed(+ and -)

• Electronegativity values allows us to determine which atom has a greater pull

• The atom with the greater electronegativity becomes the negative end of the polar bond.

• The atom with the lower electronegativity becomes the positive end of the polar bond

Electronegativity

• Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to draw or attract the electrons in a bond toward itself

• Electronegativity is like a game of tug-of-war, atom's ability to pull determines what kind of bond it forms

• To form a covalent bond, two or more atoms with similar electronegativities will share electrons

• Values fall between a low of 0.7 for Fr and a high 4.0 for F

• The greater the difference in electronegativity the more polar the bond.

Double Covalent Bonds

• Compounds sometimes share two pairs of electrons and form a double bond. This often occurs when two atoms of the same element bond, but also occur between different elements.

• This is called Double Covalent bonds• Examples: O2, CO2

Triple Covalent Bond

• Same idea as single and double• Two atoms of the same element or

two different elements share three pairs of electrons and form a triple bond

• Example: N2

Coordinate Covalent Bond• A covalent bond in which one of the atoms

donates both electrons• Properties are same as previous covalent bonds• Distinction is useful when keeping track of

valence electrons and when assigning formal charges.

• Example formation of ammonium ion

Methods to Classify Bond Type

Method 1• Subtract the

electronegativity of the least electronegastive atom from the most

• Divide the difference by the greater value

• Covalent Bonds are in the range of less than 0.17, polar covalent bonds are between 0.17 and 0.45, and ionic bonds are greater than 0.45

Method 2• Covalent bonds=no

difference in electronegativity

• Polar covalent bonds=difference less than 1.7

• Ionic Bonds= difference of 1.7 or more.
