The Nonmetal-Nonmetal

vs Metal – Nonmetal Bond

Lewis Dot Structures

• A famous chemist named Lewis invented a symbol to show valence electrons. He used a dot next to the symbol to represent each valence electron. The dots are spread around the 4 sides.

• Each pair of dots

Represents a bond.

Covalent Bonds•What is a Covalent Bond?

- A covalent bond is a chemical bond resulting from SHARING of electrons between 2 nonmetals.

•?

Covalent Bonds can have multiple bonds, so you should be familiar with the following…

Single Covalent Bond- chemical bond resulting from sharing of an electron pair between two atoms. H2O

Double Covalent Bond- chemical bond resulting from sharing of two electron pairs between two atoms. CO2

Triple Covalent Bond-chemical bond resulting from sharing of three electron pairs between two atoms. N2

Types of Covalent Bonds• Two types of colvalent bonds: nonpolar and

polar

• Recall electronegativity (desire for electrons) -see shaded table on ole yeller

• The electronegativity difference between the two atoms determines whether it is a nonpolar or polar bond.

Electronegativity difference:

0 .4 2.0

Nonpolar Polar Ionic

Polar BondsA nonpolar bond tends to share electrons equally

A polar bond means there is a dipole or one pole (end) with a positive charge and one pole (end) with a negative charge, therefore they tend to stick together better since their opposite charges attract. (=)(-)

Very strong polar bonds are

ionic bonds like NaCl

Covalent Bonds Do NOT have ions or need to Balance Charges

• They use prefixes to show the number of atoms:

• Mono-• Di-• Tri-• Tetra-

• Examples:

• H2O =

dihydrogen monoxide

• CO2 = carbon dioxide

• dinitrogen tetraoxide = N2O4

• Phosphorus trichloride = PCl3

Pop Quiz: Covalent Bonds:HOT or NOT?

HOT, for sure!If Miley says it’s hot, it’s HOT!

When a metal and nonmetal come together, a pair of electrons acts as a

bond and they each become ions.

Ionic Bonding Rules:• Metal first, nonmetal second• Nonmetal ion becomes ‘ide’• Metal is positive, nonmetal is negative• Charges must balance to zero• Formula uses a subscript to balance

charges• Example: MgCl2 ; Na2O; NaCl

The sodium atom and chloride atom bond together as ions and form a new

compound.

This is called an ionic bond.

Solutions

• When ionic compounds are put in water, they dissolve into ions:

Polyatomic ions: are groups of atoms bonded together with a charge hence the name “poly”

“atomic” “ions”. • Examples:

• OH-1 = hydroxide

• NO3-1 = nitrate

• PO4-3 = phosphate

• SO4-2 = sulfate

*They behavejust like single atom

ions.

Practice: Use polyatomic ions just like any other ion; But when you

have more than one , use parentheses.

• barium hydroxide= (Notice parentheses show multiple

ions.)

barium hydroxide= Ba OH

+2 -1

Ba(OH)2

+2 -1(2) = 0

• strontium nitrate =

• strontium nitrate = Sr NO3

+2 -1

strontium nitrate = Sr(NO3)2

+2 + -1(2)

• lithium phosphate

• lithium phosphate = Li PO4

+1 -3

lithium phosphate Li3PO4

+1(3) + -3 = 0

potassium sulfate

• potassium sulfate = K SO4

+1 -2

potassium sulfate = K2SO4

+1(2) + -2 = 0

Transition metals: Metals that have more than one possible

charge: • Cobalt: Co+2, Co+3

• Copper: Cu+, Cu+2

• Iron: Fe+2, Fe+3

• Lead: Pb+2, Pb+4

• When writing the names, always use roman numerals to show the charge.

Examples:

• Cobalt (II) Co+2, Cobalt (III) Co+3

• Copper(I), Cu+, or Copper (II), Cu+2

• Iron(II) Fe+2, or iron (III), Fe+3

• Lead(II), Pb+2, or lead (IV), Pb+4

• Each different charged ion behaves completely different than the other! The charges matter!

Practice!

Lead (IV) hydroxide

• Lead(IV) hydroxide = Pb(OH)4

• Copper (II) nitrate

• Copper(II) nitrate = Cu(NO3)2

+2 -1

• CoPO4

• CoPO4 = Cobalt (III) phosphate

+3 -3

• Fe2(SO4)3

+3 -2Iron (III) sulfate Fe2(SO4)3

HydratesSome ionic compounds absorb water molecules

into their structures. These are called hydrates. NaCl•2H2O is the symbol for sodium chloride dihydrate. Notice the prefix di- means 2 water molecules.

Name these hydrates: MgSO4•5H2O

CuCl2•4H2O

Finding Percentage of Waterin a Hydrate

You can find the percentage of water in a hydrate by dividing the mass of the water by the total mass times 100.

Lets take NaCl•2H2O

Using the periodic table, the mass of Na=23, Cl=35.5, H2O = 18. Total mass with 2 H20 is 94.4

Water mass (36)/ Total (94.4) x 100

= 38 % water

What are the differences between ionic bonding and covalent bonding? List them below:

Differences:

Ionic• Metal , nonmetal-ide• Balance charges using

subscripts• Polyatomic ions use

parentheses in multiples• Transition metals use

roman numerals to show charge

Differences:

Covalent• Two nonmetals• Nonmetal, nonmetal-

ide• No ions- they share e-• Use prefixes• Don’t need to balance
