Chemical Bonding and
Molecular Structure
• Ionic vs. covalent bonding• Molecular orbitals and the covalent bond (Ch. 10)• Valence electron Lewis dot structures
octet vs. non-octetresonance structuresformal charges
• VSEPR - predicting shapes of molecules• Bond properties
polarity, bond order, bond strength

Chemical Bonding
Problems and questions —• How is a molecule or polyatomic
ion held together?• Why are atoms distributed at
strange angles?• Why are molecules not flat?• Can we predict the structure?• How is structure related to
chemical and physical properties?
04/09/2015 Bonding and Structure 4
Most bonds are somewhere in between.
Forms of Chemical Bonds• There are 2 extreme forms of connecting
or bonding atoms:
• Ionic—complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another
•Covalent—electrons shared between atoms

Ionic Ionic BondsBonds
Ionic compounds - essentially complete electron
transfer from an element of low IE (metal) to an element of high electron affinity (EA) (nonmetal)
Na(s) + 1/2 Cl2(g) Na+ + Cl-
NaCl (s)
- NON-DIRECTIONAL bonding via Coulomb (charge) interaction
- primarily between metals (Grps 1A, 2A and transition metals) and nonmetals (esp O and halogens)

Covalent Bonding
Covalent bond is the sharing of the VALENCE ELECTRONS of each atom in a bond
Recall: Electrons are divided between core and valence electrons. ATOM core valenceNa 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 [Ne] 3s1

Number of valence electrons is equal to the Group number.

Covalent BondingThe bond arises from the mutual attraction of
2 nuclei for the same electrons.

A covalent bond is a balanceof attractive and repulsive forces.

Bond FormationA bond can result from a “head-to-head” overlap
of atomic orbitals on neighboring atoms.

Overlap of H (1s) and Cl (2p)
This type of overlap places bonding electrons in a
MOLECULAR ORBITAL along the line between the two atoms and forms a SIGMA BOND ().

Electron Electron Distribution in Distribution in
MoleculesMolecules• Electron distribution
is depicted with Lewis electron dot structures
• Electrons are distributed as:
• shared or BOND PAIRS and
• unshared or LONE PAIRS.

• This observation is called the OCTET RULE
Rules of Lewis StructuresRules of Lewis Structures• No. of valence electrons of an atom =
Group number
• Except for H (and atoms of 3rd and higher periods),
#Bond Pairs + #Lone Pairs = 4
• For Groups 5A-7A (N - F), no. of BOND PAIRS = 8 - group No.
• For Groups 1A-4A (Li - C), no. of BOND PAIRS = group number

Formal charge = Group no. - 1/2 (no. bond electrons)
- (no. of LP electrons)
Formal Atom Charges• Atoms in molecules often bear a charge (+ or -).
• The most important dominant resonance structure of a molecule is the one with formal charges as close to 0 as possible.
