Fundamental ConceptsCountless arrangements of atoms are possible!!
Bonding behaviour:What does it depend on?
How do atoms form bonds?
What kind of bonds exist?
How do we predict bonding behaviour?
Valence ElectronsGiven an electron configuraton one can group the electrons into the core and valence e’s
Ex) C 6 e’s 1s2
core
2s22p2
valence
Atoms can form bonds by sharing or exchanging valence e’s.
The core e’s don’t participate, just like the noble gas is unreactive.
Then main objective for each atom is to achieve a noble gas configuration for its valence electrons
Ex) Ne 1s2
Has a full valence shell with 8 e’s C needs 4 more e’s to achieve a full shell. How?
2s22p6
Electron Dot Structures (G. N. Lewis)
The first row elements will either want to achieve He or Ne configurations.
Those who attain Ne configurations need 8 e’s in their valence shell
The number of valence electrons can neatly be depicted by arranging them around the atomic symbol
Ex)
•
C •••
C has 4 valence e’s Ex) N has 5 valence e’s
N •••
• •
Electron Dot Structures
Electrons placed around the four sides of the atom symbol individually or in pairs depending on the # of valence e’s.
Initially on e’s is placed on each side and are paired up when all four sides are occupied, after which they are paired until the valence shell is full.
Octet RuleNotice that all noble gas configurations have an outer shell with ns2.. . np6.
Ne = 2s22p6
Ar = 3s23p6
Kr = 4s23d104p6
Xe = 5s24d105p6
Ignoring the d and f e’s the valence shell contains 8 e’s.
Rn = 6s25d104f146p6
The d and f subshell contributions can be ignored if they are full
Therefore the valence e’s in groups 13(3A) to 18(8A) can be described in terms of ns and np e’s
In each case atoms want to have 8 electrons hence the
Octet rule.
An element can achieve octet status in one of three ways:
2. It can lose valence electrons to make an cation:
3. It can share valence electrons with another atom to make a covalent bond. This will generally involve two atoms of similar electronegativity (ability to attract electrons)
1. It can gain valence electrons to make an anion:
Ex) Cl [Ne]3s23p5Cl- [Ne]3s23p6=[Ar]
Octet Rule
Ex) K [Ar]4s1 K+ [Ar]
Ex) Cl2

Ex) Cl to Cl- O to O-2 S to S2-
Octet Rule
Ex) Na to Na+ Ca to Ca2+ Al to Al3+
P to P3-
Ex) Al3+ has 13 protons and 10 electrons q = 13 – 10 = +3
Ex) Al: 3(A) → q = +3 Ca: 2(A) → q = +2 Li: 1(A) → q = +1
Ex) As: 15 → q = -3 S: 16 → q = -2 F: 17 → q = -1

Compute the energy of formation of the ionic bond in NaCl, where the bond length is 279 pm
E = ke2q1q2/r q1 = +1 q2 = -1
r = 279 pm = 2.79*10-10 m
E = (8.988 × 109 N m2/C2)(1.6022 *10-19 C)2(1)(-1) (2.79*10-10 m)
E = -8.27*10-19 N m = J
How energy for one mole of NaCl bonds?
E(total) = E(bond) *(# of bonds)

Covalent CompoundsCovalent bond - valence electrons are shared between two or more atoms. i.e. bonding electrons are “co-valent”.
Electrons are shared to complete the valence shell of each atom
The combination of electrons forms one entity.
In Ionic systems - the cation and anion are separate entities
The wavefunctions for each electron constructively interfere and form a combined wavefunction, called a molecular orbital
1s(1) 1s(2) 1
Atom 1 Atom 2
Molecule
Nucleus 1 Nucleus 2
The lowest energy point is at the average bond length.
Bond dissociation energy -Energy is required to break the bond.
H H H + H Edissociation = +435 kJ/mol. .
Covalent bonds form if energy is released when atoms bond:
H + H H H E = -435 kJ/mol. .The negative energy of reaction means that the product (H2) is more stable than the reactants (2 × H).
2 electrons are shared completing the 1s orbital for each H
Covalent Compounds
Lewis structure diagramsThe exact solutions of molecular quantum mechanics are highly complex
These Lewis diagrams reflect the underlying quantum mechanics and serve primarily as a bookkeeping device for the valence electrons in the moleculeThe guiding principle behinds Lewis diagrams is that each atom in molecules
achieve noble gas electron configuration by sharing electrons
This is known as the octet rule because the majority of noble gases have 8 valence e-, except for H which only requires two e’s to complete its valence.
The electrons of a chemical bond are represented by a dash
There can also be non-bonding electrons, which are written as dots ●●
The Lewis dot diagrams of atoms can be combined to depict bonding in molecules

Steps for Drawing Lewis Electron Dot Structures
1. Determine the central atom. The rest are terminal atoms.
2. Determine the total number of valence electrons.
3. Use one pair of electrons to make a single bond between each pair of bonded atoms.
4. Use any remaining electrons as lone pairs around each terminal atom (except H) so that each terminal atom has a complete octet, if possible.
5. Allow for any deficit or excess of e’s only for the central atom.
6. Check the central atom for too few or too many electrons.
7. If there are too few electrons, increase the bond order of one or more bonds by sharing non-bonded electrons. (i.e. make double or triple bonds, as necessary)
8. Calculate formal charge for all atoms, and indicate any which are not zero.

When finished review it to verify that correct number of atoms and electrons were used and that the octet rule is obeyed
Remember that Lewis dot structures do not show a molecule’s shape.
If there is more than one acceptable solution, the true electron distribution is a hybrid of the possible distributions. This is called resonance.
If it is impossible to avoid having one atom with too few or too many electrons, make sure it is the central atom. Elements in the 1st or 2nd period can never have more than eight electrons under any circumstance.
Molecules with odd numbers of electrons form free radicals and cannot fully obey the rules.
Tips
The central atom can be generally be chosen using a few rules:
1. The central atom is never H or F.
2. If you have many atoms of one element and one atom of another, the lone atom is the central one.
3. Given a choice, the central atom is not O.
4. Given a choice, C is central.
Larger molecules are treated as a sequence of central atom problems.
Tips
Ex) Choose the central atom for the following molecules: (a) BBr3 (b) CH3Cl (c) CH2O (d) POCl3

Total charge = -3 ????
We have miscounted the e’s
The bonding e’s have been double counted!!!
The bonding e’s are shared and therefore count only as half an electron for each atom
#e = core e’s + ½(bond e’s) + non-bond e’s
# e’s Cl = 10 + ½ (2) + 6 = 17
qCl = 17 – 17 = 0
# e’s O = 2+ ½ (2) + 6 = 9
qCl = 8 – 9 = -1

Therefore the –ve charge is on O
It needs it to complete its valence
Extra e added to complete Valence on O.
Formal ChargeFormal charge (Qf) is the charge on an atom assuming that every bond is completely covalent.
As a general rule, we want to keep the formal charge on each atom as close to 0 as possible (without giving any atom more than a complete octet).
All bonding electrons are shared equally
Qf = #p’s – [ (# core e’s) + ½ (# bonded e’s) + (# non-bonded e’s)]

or Qf(F) = 7 –[ ½ (4) + 4] = +1

Bond polarity and electronegativity
F-Li+ F F
In a symmetric molecule such as H2, the concept of covalence is unambiguous: the electrons are evenly shared by the two atoms.
But in LiF, we have complete electron transfer: Li+ and :F-, i.e. ionic bonding
There is a continuum of behaviour between these two extremes
Ionic bonds are completely polarized towards the opposite charged ions.
As the electronegativity difference decreases, e’s are more likely to be shared, but unequally: polar covalent bonds
In polar covalent bonds, there is a bond dipole, which is indicated by a vector
There are also partial positive and negative charges, indicated by δ+ and δ-
d
Pauling Electronegativity
General trend in element electronegativity
We use Pauling electronegativity values to determine bond polarity.
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.
A difference in Pauling electronegativity between elements of more than 2 units is enough to cause ionic bonding
Evaluating Lewis diagrams - Revisited
How do you chose between several possible Lewis diagrams?
1. Most important is achieving the Octet rule: any structure that obeys the octet rule is better than any structure that does not
2. Any structure that minimizes the sum of the absolute values of the Formal Charge is better
3. The diagram that associates negative Formal Charge with more electronegative elements and positive Formal Charge with electronegative elements is to be preferred over others
Let us now apply this rule to some more complex cases: 1) OCN- (cyanate) 2) CO2 (carbon dioxide) 3) H2CSO (sulfine)

%-ionic character
Continuum in behaviour between pure covalent and ionic character
Molecules such as H2, F2 are at 0 on this scale
Common “ionic” compounds such as NaCl cover a wide range on this scale but are all over 2
The formal charge separation gives rise to ionic forces of attraction contributing to the bond energy.
Therefore all bonding must be considered as having ionic and covalent contributions.
Partial ChargeThe bond dipole can be quantified by calculating the partial charge (Q) on each atom.

Q (X) e e e
Partial charge, similar to formal charge, except that the electronegativities of the atoms, govern the distribution of the bonding electrons between the atoms.

Recall the formula for formal charge
Therefore, pure covalency assume electronegativities are the same
Ex) H-Cl Q(Cl) = 7 – [6 + {3.0/(2.1+3.0)}*2] = -0.2
Q(H) = 1 – [0+ {2.1/(2.1+3.0)}*2] = 0.2
Bond order: length and energy
We have seen that chemical bonds between the same pairs of elements may be single, double or triple bonds
Quadrupole bonds also exist between some of the d-elements
How do these bonds differ?
The higher the bond order the larger the bond dissociation energies
The higher the bond order, the shorter will be the bond will be.

C—Si C—P C—S

Bond lengths shows the same trends as atoms size
Size decreases from left to right across the Periodic Table, and increases down any group
Increasing the bond order always shortens the bonds; however the %-shortening is not a very regular parameter, therefore not simply predicted.
Lewis diagrams and Molecular Shape
Four electron pairs define the tetrahedral shape family, as in SiCl4
There is a direct link between Lewis diagrams and molecular shape
The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory states a molecule’s shape is determined by the electron pairs that surround central atoms
These electron pairs (EP) include both bond pairs (BP) and lone pairs (LP)
We define five shape families based on the need to accommodate mutually repelling electron pairs around a central atom
The balloons illustrate these “natural” shapes
The 5 Shape Families
The five shape families that electron pairs develop are illustrated above
Linear – Trigonal-planar – Tetrahedral – Trigonal-bipyramidal – Octahedral
In this case each molecule has all its electron pairs as bond pairs around the central atom
Not all the shape-determining electrons pairs need be bond pairs

Special features of 5 EP shapesIn the trigonal bipyramidal geometry, alone among the 5 shape families, the sites are not identical
There are three equivalent sites which are identical to those in trigonal-planar, with bond angles of 120 . These are called the equatorial sites
Axial Sites - above and below the plane in a mutually linear relationship.
Note - the angles are different
Note - if there are LP’s, these will always first occupy equatorial sites

Some special features of VSEPRmultiple bonds, are found to occupy almost the same volume of space
Hence, multiple bonds can be considered as if they are single BP of electrons
Ex) NO2
The N has 4 EP’s - 1 LP and 2 BP’s
LP are considered to be larger than BP because constrained by only a single positively charged nucleus as opposed to two for a BP
For 5 EP since neighboring LP’s at 120 experience much less repulsion than at 90o they tend to cluster on the equatorial sites of the trigonal-bipyramidal geometry
bent shape
For 6 EP case LP prefer to be opposite since otherwise at 90o they would experience strong repulsive forces
Geometry of large molecules
VSEPR method extends to larger molecules by treating them as a chains central atoms
The only thing that remains is to twist the bits of the molecule about any single bonds to minimize congestion between the bonded atoms
The geometry at the S, O and N are similar to those in water and ammonia, i.e. bent and trigonal pyramidal
The geometry at the C1 and C2 atoms are tetrahedral, while at C3 it is trigonal planar
The complete molecule simply twists the bits and pieces about any given single bond
Shape and polarity
Recall that most covalent bonds are polar
Symmetry in a molecule can cause bond dipole vectors to cancel each other making the molecule non-polar even though its individual bonds are very polar
Therefore molecules must be polar Not always!!!
Permanent Dipole MomentsMolecules that have permanent dipole moment are called polar
The unit of dipole moment is the Debye
Note that for molecules like H2 and CCl4, there is no permanent dipole moment!
Such molecules are non-polar.
Measuring dipole momentsMolecules which have permanent dipole moments respond to an applied electric field
This is an arrangement similar to that of a capacitor
The dipole moments in the molecule tend to align with the applied electric field
By measuring the degree of alignment as a function of applied field strength, the size of the dipole moment in Debye units can be determined
