Sharing Electrons

• When an ionic bond forms, electrons are rearranged

and are transferred from one atom to another to form

charged ions.

• In another kind of change involving electrons, the

neutral atoms share electrons.

Sharing Electrons, continued Forming Molecular Orbitals

• A covalent bond is a bond formed when atoms share

one or more pairs of electrons.

• The shared electrons move within a space called a

molecular orbital.

• A molecular orbital is the region of high probability

that is occupied by an individual electron as it travels

with a wavelike motion in the three-dimensional space

around one of two or more associated nuclei.

Energy and Stability, continued Potential Energy Determines Bond Length

• When two bonded hydrogen atoms are at their lowest

potential energy, the distance between them is 75 pm.

• The bond length is the distance between two bonded

atoms at their minimum potential energy.

• However, the two nuclei in a covalent bond vibrate back

and forth. The bond length is thus the average distance

between the two nuclei.

Energy and Stability, continued Bonded Atoms Vibrate, and Bonds Vary in Strength

• The bond length is the average distance between two

nuclei in a covalent bond.

• At a bond length of 75 pm, the potential energy of H2 is

–436 kJ/mol.

• Thus 436 kJ of energy must be supplied to break the

bonds in 1 mol of H2 molecules.

• The energy required to break a bond between two

atoms is the bond energy.

• Bonds that have the higher bond energies

(stronger bonds) have the shorter bond lengths.

Electronegativity and Covalent Bonding

• In covalent bonds between two different atoms, the

atoms often have different attractions for shared

electrons.

• Electronegativity values are a useful tool to predict

what kind of bond will form.

Section 1 Covalent Bonds

• In a polar covalent bond, the ends of the bond have

opposite partial charges.

• A molecule in which one end has a partial positive

charge and the other end has a partial negative charge

is called a dipole.

• In a polar covalent bond, the shared pair of electrons is

not transferred completely. Instead, it is more likely to be

found near the more electronegative atom.

Type

Section 1 Covalent Bonds

• The type of bond that forms (metallic, ionic, or

has a pair of electrons that are not involved in a

covalent bond, while methane is a nonpolar molecule.

The attraction between polar ammonia molecules

Read the passage below. Then answer the questions.

Although water is a polar molecule, pure water

does not carry an electric current. It is a good solvent

for many ionic compounds, and solutions of ionic

compounds in water do carry electric currents. The

charged particles in solution move freely, carrying

electric charges. Even a dilute solution of ions in water

becomes a good conductor. Without ions in solution,

there is very little electrical conductivity.

12. How does the polarity of the bond between a halogen and

hydrogen relate to the number of electrons of the halogen atom?

F. Polarity is not related to the number of electrons of the

halogen atom. G. Polarity decreases as the number of unpaired halogen

electrons increases. H. Polarity decreases as the total number of halogen atom

electrons increases. I. Polarity decreases as the number of valence electrons of the

halogen atom increases.

13. Based on the information in this table, how does the

electronegativity difference in a covalent bond relate

to the strength of the bond?

Answer: A stronger bond is indicated by greater bond

energy, so the strength of the bond increases as

electronegativity increases.
