Metallic Bonding
• In metallic bonding the valence electrons are shared between all the atoms in a positive metal crystal. delocalized “sea” of electrons
metallic bonded materials have good thermal and electrical conduction.
![Page 3: Electron Dots and VSEPR Theory](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56814094550346895dac297c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Ionic BondsOccur when the nonmetal takestakes one or more electrons away from a metal.
The nonmetal becomes a negative ion metal becomes a positive ion.
The atoms are held together by their opposite charges.

Ionic Bond Strength
Strength of crystal lattice depends on two factors, sizesize and charge transferredcharge transferred.
Smaller atoms have stronger ionic bonds.
Ex: NaF is stronger than NaCl
Atoms transferring more electrons are stronger. Ex: MgCl2 is stronger than NaCl.

Covalent Bond“the bonds of nature”
• Shared valence electrons
• Complete outer energy levels
• Molecule has 2 or more nonmetal atoms covalently bond– Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, DNA,
stupendous seven (H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2)

Electronegativity
• Electronegativity is the ability of atoms in a molecule to attract electrons to themselves.
• On the periodic table, electronegativity increases as you go…– from left to right across a
row.– from the bottom to the top
of a column.

Drawing Lewis Dot Structures1. Count the valence electrons.2. Predict the location of the atoms
a. Hydrogen is a terminal atomb. The central atom has the smallest electronegativity.
3. Draw a pair of electrons between the central atom and the surrounding atoms.
4. Use the remaining electrons to complete the octets of each atom. If there are electrons left over, place them on the central atom.
5. If the central atom does not have a complete octet then try double or triple bonds.
a. If the atom has 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons, it doesn’t require an octet.

STEP 1: count the total # of valence e- for all atoms involved in the bonding
Carbon: 1 carbon with 4 valence electrons (1x4) = 4

Bonding OrbitalsBonding Orbitals
• When atoms bond together, their valence shell electron orbitals overlap
• Overlapping electron orbitals create a bonding orbital an area with a high probability of finding an electron
![Page 23: Electron Dots and VSEPR Theory](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56814094550346895dac297c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
–Sigma Bonds (Sigma Bonds (σσ))•Orbitals overlap head-to-head•Form first, there’s only 1
–Pi Bonds (π)Pi Bonds (π)•Orbitals overlap side-to-side•Form after sigma bonds
Types of BondsTypes of Bonds
• When atoms form a molecule, their orbitals can form different types of bonds:
Every molecule has one sigma bond, but all subsequent bonds between the same two atoms must have a different
way of connecting so they use pi bonds!

Molecular ShapesMolecular Shapes
• The shape of a molecule plays an important role in its reactivity.
• Look at bonding and non-bonding electron pairs– You can predict the
shape of the molecule!
![Page 27: Electron Dots and VSEPR Theory](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56814094550346895dac297c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What Determines the Shape What Determines the Shape of a Molecule?of a Molecule?
• Electron pairs repel each other.• Assuming electron pairs are placed as far as
possible from each other, we can predict the shape of the molecule.

Molecular PolarityMolecular Polarity• Molecules can be polar and non-polar.• Imagine you are turning over the 3D models on the table.
Are they still the same when you flip them over?– If yes, then the molecule is non-polar (symmetrical)

Molecular PolarityMolecular Polarity
• Non-bonding electron pair = polar– The free pair pushes
the other atoms away
• Non-polar molecule has equal pull from the same atoms

make a new set of bonding orbitals (hybrids)– These have different shapes
than regular atomic orbitals– Requires energy but the

would not be able to form bonds because it has no singly-occupied orbitals.

Hydrogen BondingHydrogen Bonding
H-bondingH-bonding is a special type of dipole - dipole attraction that is very strong (5x stronger)
– Happens when N, O, or F are bonded to H
– Due to the high electronegativity difference between the H and the other atom
– Compounds containing these bonds are important in biological systems (special!)

London forcesLondon forces• Named after Fritz London, sometimes called
dispersion forces
• London forces are due to small dipoles that exist in non-polar molecules
• Random movement of electrons can sometimes form temporary dipoles
• The resulting tiny dipoles cause attractions between atoms/molecules
This is how non-polar molecules This is how non-polar molecules can form solids and liquids!can form solids and liquids!

Sometimes the random arrangement of electrons
forms tiny dipoles

IMF Strength and Molar MassIMF Strength and Molar Mass• The sizesize of a molecule (molar mass) affects
the strength of intermolecular forces (IMFs)
• Larger size = stronger forcesLarger size = stronger forces– Because the large molecule has more area and
electrons available for intermolecular attractions such as London Forces
– (this is opposite of covalent bond strength)
Stronger IMFs Weaker IMFs
![Page 46: Electron Dots and VSEPR Theory](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56814094550346895dac297c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Consider the halogens (group 7A) as an example
• F2 and Cl2 are gases, Br2 is liquid, I2 is a solid
– Liquids and solids form when IMFs are stronger
– Since they are further down the group, the atoms are bigger
– Larger mass = stronger IMFsLarger mass = stronger IMFs

• Boiling (liquid gas) occurs when there is enough energy to overcome intermolecular attractions
• Boiling point tends to increase down a group, as size of atoms in molecules increases
