CW 5: What Kind of Bond Will Form?
1. Define electronegativity. (HINT: CW 4)
Electronegativity Scale (Pauling Scale)
Here are the electronegativity values for many elements. In general, the closer the element is to fluorine on the periodic table, the more electronegative the element is. The closer the element is to francium on the periodic table, the less electronegative the element is.
Electronegativity Difference
Based on the electronegativity difference between two elements, we can predict what type of bond will form. In general, a larger difference behaves more like ionic compounds (electrons and transferred from one element to another), while a smaller difference behaves like polar bonds (electrons shared, but unequally). The closer the difference is to zero, the more nonpolar (electrons shared equally) the bonds become.
𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒= |𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴 − 𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐵|
2. Use the information below and the electronegativity value table on the previous page to complete the chart below.
Electronegativity and Bond Types The electronegativity gives us a clue about the type of bond that will form. It is also important to consider the identity of the elements that are forming a chemical bond.
Difference in electronegativity Most probable bond type Example
0.0 – 0.4 Covalent – Nonpolar H – H (0.0) 0.4 – 1.0 Covalent – Moderately Polar H – Cl (0.9)

CW 7: Covalent Bonds Gizmo
Vocabulary: covalent bond, diatomic molecule, Lewis diagram, molecule, noble gases, nonmetal, octet rule, shell, valence, valence electron Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. There are eight markers in a full set, but Flora and Frank each only have seven markers.
Flora is missing the red marker, and Frank is missing the blue marker.
What can they do so that each has a full set of markers?
2. Otto and Olivia each have six markers. Otto is missing the purple and green markers, and Olivia is missing the black and brown markers. What can they do so that each has a full set?
Gizmo Warm-up Just like the students described above, nonmetal atoms can share electrons. As you will see in this gizmo, atoms form bonds in this way. To begin, check that Fluorine is selected from the Select a substance menu. Click Play ( ) to see the electrons orbiting the nucleus of each atom. 1. The outermost electrons in each atom are called valence electrons. How many valence
electrons does each fluorine atom have? ________________________________________
2. Click Pause ( ). Drag an electron from the left atom to the right atom. Click Play.
What happens? ____________________________________________________________ 3. Click Pause, drag an electron from the right atom to the left, and then click Play.
What happens now? ________________________________________________________
Honors Page 26 of 54
Activity A: What happens when atoms share electrons?
Get the Gizmo ready:
• Click Reset.
• Select Hydrogen. Introduction: The electrons that orbit the nucleus of an atom are arranged into shells. The first shell contains up to two electrons and the second contains up to eight electrons. Most elements are stable when they have eight valence electrons—a rule of thumb known as the octet rule. (Elements with less than five electrons are stable with two valence electrons.)
4. Predict: Each hydrogen atom has one valence electron, but it needs two electrons to be stable. How can both hydrogen atoms each achieve a stable configuration?
5. Form a bond: Drag the electrons so that they move around both hydrogen atoms. Click
Play to observe them in orbit, and then click Check. You have created a covalent bond. Because the molecule has two atoms, it is a diatomic molecule.
Why is this configuration stable for hydrogen?
6. Draw a diagram: Covalent bonds are shown in Lewis diagrams. In a Lewis diagram, dots
represent unshared valence electrons and dashes represent pairs of shared electrons.
Turn on Show Lewis diagram. What is the Lewis diagram for hydrogen, H2? H H
7. Form a bond: Now select Fluorine and using the same procedure as above, create a molecule of fluorine, F2.
What is the Lewis diagram for fluorine, F2? F F
8. Think and discuss: How many electrons are represented by the line between each atom?
What do the other dots around each atom represent?
Honors Page 27 of 54
Activity B: How do atoms share more than one pair of electrons?
Get the Gizmo ready:
• Click Reset.
• Turn off Show Lewis diagram.
• Select Oxygen.
9. Observe: Like fluorine and most other elements, oxygen atoms are most stable with a
full complement of eight valence electrons.
A. How many valence electrons does each oxygen atom have now? _______________ B. How many more electrons does each oxygen atom need to be stable? ___________
10. Form a bond: Drag electrons back and forth until the molecule of oxygen (O2) is stable.
Click Check to confirm your molecule is stable.
How many pairs of shared electrons are there in a stable molecule of oxygen? __________ How many lines are needed to represent the pairs? _________
11. Draw a diagram: Draw a Lewis diagram of the oxygen molecule in the space below at
left. To check your work, turn on Show Lewis diagram. Draw the correct diagram on the right.
Practice diagram: O O Actual: O O
12. Practice: Create covalent bonds and stable molecules for the remaining substances.
Draw Lewis diagrams for each one. (As above, draw the diagram on your own before checking your work.)
Water H O H
Carbon dioxide O C O
H
Ammonia H N H H Methane H C H H
Page 28 of 54
13. Count: Review the Lewis diagrams you drew on the previous page. Note that each element tends to form a certain number of chemical bonds. This value is the valence of the element.
For each element in the table below, use the Gizmo to find the number of valence electrons and the list the valence based on the Lewis diagram. Then find the sum of these numbers.
Element Symbol # of valence
electrons Valence Sum
Fluorine F
Hydrogen H
Oxygen O
Nitrogen N
Chlorine Cl
Carbon C
Silicon Si
14. Make a rule: If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom, how
would you determine the valence of the element? (Hint: Ignore hydrogen for now.)
15. Analyze: The first shell can hold a maximum of two electrons. How does this explain the valence of hydrogen?
16. Apply: Selenium has six valence electrons. What is the valence of selenium?
17. Think and discuss: The last column of the periodic table contains the noble gases,
elements that do not easily form chemical bonds. Why don’t these gases tend to form chemical bonds?

IMFs and State of Matter
The three states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. The molecules of each state of matter attract each other, and the force of attraction increases as the distance between molecules decreases.

6. In terms of intermolecular forces, why is methane a gas and methanol is a liquid?
IMFs and Surface Tension of Liquids
Surface tension is a measure of how strongly attracted molecules within a liquid are to each other. This means that the stronger the attraction between molecules, the higher the surface tension.
When examining a bead of water on a car, the attractions between the water molecules are much stronger than the attraction of the water molecules to the car surface (or to the air). Therefore, water forms “beads” rather than spreading out.
7. Place one drop of isopropyl alcohol and one drop of water onto the desk. Based on your
observations, which substance would have stronger intermolecular forces?
Page 37 of 54
IMFs and Phase Changes
Evaporation occurs when the attractive forces between molecules are weakened enough that molecules can escape the liquid phase and enter the gas phase.
8. Use your finger “push up” the two drops from Question 7 about two inches, so you have two “streaks”. Observe which substance evaporates more quickly.
9. In Question 7, which substance had the stronger intermolecular forces? Does this agree
with your observations about which evaporated more quickly?
10. Both water and isopropyl alcohol can form hydrogen bonds. Count the number of hydrogen bonds that each substance can form.
Water

11. Which molecule is “better” at forming hydrogen bonds?
12. How does this explain the difference in evaporation time between water and isopropyl
alcohol?
13. Revisit the comparison between methane and methanol from Question 5. One of the substances has a boiling point of 65°C, while the other has a boiling point of -161.5°C. Which one is which? Explain.
Page 38 of 54
IMFs and Odor
Highly volatile substances easily evaporate because they have weak attractive forces between them. These compounds will usually have a strong odor.
For example, vinegar contains acetic acid, a volatile compound. This means that the vapor
above the vinegar will contain many evaporated acetic acid molecules, and if you sniff this vapor, your nose will collect a lot of acetic acid molecules. There they will dissolve into your nasal fluids, which will become acidic, and you will experience the sour, pungent smell of vinegar.
14. Waft the following substances to determine if they are volatile or not. Then determine
which intermolecular forces are present in each molecule.

CW 14: Naming Acids and Bases
An acid is a compound that contains one or more hydrogen atoms and produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. In general, an acid molecule consists of an anion combined with as many hydrogen ions as needed to make the molecule neutral.
Naming Common Acids
Anion Ending Example Stem Acid Name Example
-ide chloride, Cl-1 chlor hydro-(stem)-ic acid hydrochloric acid -ite sulfite, SO3
-1 sulf (stem)-ous acid sulfurous acid
-ate nitrate, NO3-1 nitr (stem)-ic acid nitric acid
When writing formulas for acids from a name, use the same guideline as above, then check charges to ensure that the molecules are neutral.
1. For each of the following, identify the anion, the anion ending and the stem.
Acid Anion Anion Name (Highlight Ending) Stem
HCl ____ ______
HClO
HClO2
HClO3
HClO4
2. Name each of the following acids.
a. H2S
b. HCl
c. H2SO4
