Covalent versus Ionic Bonds
Slide 5 / 186
Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry
Examine these two forms of the same compound, ibuprofen.
Slide 6 / 186
Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry
This form of ibuprofen has virtually no
anti-inflammatory effect.
This form of ibuprofen is about 100x more effective at
alleviating pain than the other form.
Even though they consist of the exact same number and kinds of atoms, these two molecules have very different chemical properties.
Slide 7 / 186
In this unit, we will explore what causes molecules to have various shapes. Later, we will then examine how molecular
geometry affects different chemical properties.
Covalent Bonding & Molecular Geometry
Take a look around you. The chemistry of everything you see, hear, feel, touch and taste is a result of not only what it's made of but also how it's put together.(Remember this for next year in biology!)
Slide 8 / 186
Chemical Bonds
Ionic - The electrostatic attraction between ions
Covalent - The sharing of electrons between atoms
Metallic - Each metal atom bonds to other metals atoms within a "sea" of electrons (covered in a later unit)
Chemical bonds hold atoms together to create chemical compounds. There are three basic types of bonds:
Slide 9 / 186
Chemical BondsHow ionic or covalent a bond is depends on the difference in electronegativity. The smaller the difference, the more likely electrons are "shared" and the bond is considered covalent, the greater the difference, the more likely electrons have been transferred and the atoms are ionized resulting in an ionic bond.
Li Be B C N O FElectronegativity 1.0 1.6 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0

Electronegativity 3 2.4 2.0 1.5 1 0.5 0
Increasing Covalent Character
Slide 10 / 186
Chemical Bonds
We can make a few simplifications...
Ionic Bonding Ionic bonds occur when the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is more than 1.7. Na ---- F electronegativity = 3
Covalent Bonding If the difference of electronegativity is less than 1.7, neither atom takes electrons from the other; they share electrons. This type of bonding typically takes place between two non-metals or between two metals. H ---- Cl electronegativity = 1.1
Slide 11 / 186
In the case of ionic bonding, a 3-D lattice of ions is the result . . . not individual molecules. The chemical formula for an ionic compound is just the ratio of each type of ion in the lattice, not a particular number of ions in a molecule.
In contrast, covalent bonding can result in individual molecules or 3-D lattices depending on the elements involved. The bonding and the shapes of these molecules help determine the physical and chemical properties of everything around us!

Properties of Ionic Compounds
Boiling and Melting Points
Since the attractions between the ions span a short distance, these forces are quite strong resulting in high melting points and boiling points!

Properties of Metallic Substances
Melting and Boiling Points
Metallic compounds are held together by non-directional covalent bonds in which some electrons are shared but are loosely held and free to roam. The covalent bonds between the metal atoms are strong! This gives rise to high melting and boiling points!

In order to obtain pure metals, the ancients had to melt the metal (metallic substance) out of the rock (an ionic compound).
Copper has a lower melting point so it could be obtained in furnaces at lower temperatures. Furnaces hot enough to extract
iron would come later. Move for answer

Like ionic and metallic substances, covalent network solids are giant molecules arranged in 3-D crystalline shapes. Here, the atoms involved tend to semi-metals like Silicon or Germanium or elemental carbon. Since the bonds are covalent, they are quite strong! This gives rise to high melting and boiling points!

Slide 25 / 186
Since these substances have higher electronegativities, they keep good tabs on their electrons thereby preventing the electrons from moving. As a result they are largely non-conductive.
Diamond and graphite are both allotropes or different versions of carbon and vary somewhat in their conductivity.

Molecular Compounds
When atoms are bonded covalently, the atoms are held together by sharing electrons. This occurs between non-metals such as C,O,S,H,P,N, etc. Unlike in all of the other substances, the atoms form small individual molecules that then interact with each other and their environment. These are called molecular compounds.
P O H H O = C = O Cl Cl Cl
In covalent bonds, electron sharing usually occurs so that atoms attain the electron configurations of noble gases. Both atoms use the shared electrons to reach that goal.

Recall that atoms tend towards having the electron configuration of a noble gas.For most atoms, that means having 8 valence electrons. The Octet Rule also applies to molecular compounds.
In covalent bonding, an atom will share electrons in an effort to obtain eight electrons around it (except hydrogen which will attempt to obtain 2 valence electrons).
The Octet Rule
A pair of valence electrons that is not shared between atoms is called an unshared pair, also known as a lone pair or a nonbonding pair.
Exceptions to the Octet Rule
H needs 2e-
Be needs 4e-
B needs 6e-

Formal ChargeThe "Formal Charge" method tells us how the electrons are distributed within a molecule. For example, depending on how the electrons are shared, some atoms may have more electrons than others resulting in a semi-charged state for that atom.
O
P
O
O OFC for P: 5 - 4= +1 (count each bond as one)FC for each O: 6 -7= -1 (count each bond as one)
Note: The charges must add to the charge of the molecule. So for PO43-
1 P atom x +1 = +1 + 4 O atoms x -1 = -4 +1 + -4 = -3
Formal Charge = # of valence electrons - # of electrons atom possesses within the lewis structure.
Slide 70 / 186
Formal ChargeThe best Lewis structure will have the formal charge = 0 on each atom. However, if the molecule carries a charge, the more electronegative atoms should carry a charge as they have the greater attraction for electrons!
Each bond is counted as one in a formal charge calculation as each atom forming part of the bond contributes just one electron to that bond.
[ O - H ]-1 FC on O = 6-7 = -1 FC on H = 1-1 = 0
O H
The oxygen is more electronegative so it makes sense that it carries the negative charge.

Double and Triple Covalent Bonds
Atoms form double or triple covalent bonds if they can attain a noble gas structure by sharing two pairs or three pairs of electrons.
A bond that involves two shared pairs of electrons is a double covalent bond.
A bond formed by sharing three pairs of electrons is a triple covalent bond.

A coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond in which one atom contributes both bonding electrons.
In a structural formula, you can show coordinate covalent bonds as arrows that point from the atom donating the pair of electrons to the atom receiving them.
In a coordinate covalent bond, the shared electron pair comes from one of the bonding atoms.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons, oxygen has 6.

Slide 125 / 186
The VSEPR number of a molecule is a three digit number that can be used to determine a molecule's shape.
Here's how you find it:
1. Draw the Lewis structure for the molecule. Locate the central atom, if applicable.
2. The first digit of the VSEPR number is the total number of electron-domains around the central atom.
VSEPR Numbers
Electron domains are either shared pairs of electrons or lone pairs of electrons
Multiple bonds (i.e. double or triple bonds) count as only ONE electron domain.
Slide 126 / 186
3. The second digit of the VSEPR number is the total number of bonding-domains around the central atom.
4. The third digit of the VSEPR number is the total number of lone pairs around the central atom.
5. Check your work - the first digit is equal to the sum of the second and third.
VSEPR Numbers (cont)
Bonding domains are single, double or triple bonds.
Each pair of electrons that are not involved in bonds counts as one lone pair.

Molecular Geometry
Slide 136 / 186
VSEPR and molecule shape prediction
According to VSEPR theory, the repulsion between electron pairs causes molecular shapes to adjust so that the valence-electron pairs stay as far apart as possible.
The shape of a molecule plays an important role in determining its chemical and physical properties.
To determine a molecule's shape, i.e. its molecular geometry, we must first determine its electron-domain geometry.
Slide 137 / 186
Recall:
Electron domains are either shared pairs of electrons or lone pairs of electrons
Bonding domains are single, double or triple bonds.
Each pair of electrons that are not involved in bonds counts as one lone pair.
To determine the electron-domain geometry, look at the first number and use the following chart...
How does VSEPR theory help predict the shapes of molecules?
Slide 138 / 186
Electron Domain Geometry
Slide 139 / 186
Electron-Domain Geometry (EDG)
The EDG (2,3,4,5,or 6) gives us the general shape of the molecule, as shown here.
However, these domains do not have to be bonds.
The molecular geometry tells us if there is a bond or lone pair of electrons present, thereby specializing the general shape.
Let's take a closer look...

Polarity of Molecules
By adding the individual bond dipoles, one can determine the overall dipole moment for the molecule.
For a molecule to be polar, it must a) contain one or more dipoles AND b) have these polar bonds arranged asymmetrically
[*]
In other words, if all the dipoles are symmetrical, they will cancel each other out and the molecule will be
NONPOLAR.
Many molecules with lone pairs of electrons will be POLAR.
