Be able to use electronegativity and molecular geometry to predict bond and molecular polarity.►6. What are the major differences between ionic and molecular compounds? Be able to compare the structures, compositions, and properties of ionic and molecular compounds.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five55. 1 Covalent Bonds►The bond formed when atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond. (Unlike ionic bonds, which involve the complete transfer of electrons). ►A group of atoms held together by covalent bonds is called a molecule. ►Main group elements can obtain completed outer subshells with eight valence electrons (or two for hydrogen), so that they have a noble gas electron configuration, by sharing an appropriate number of electrons in covalent bonds.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five6A single molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one another. We might visualize a water molecule using a space-filling model as shown here:Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five7►When two atoms come together, electrical interactions occur.► Some of these interactions are repulsive—the two positively charged nuclei repel each other and the negatively charged electrons repel each other.►Other interactions, however, are attractive—each nucleus attracts the electrons and each electron attracts both nuclei. ►When the attractive forces are stronger than the repulsive forces, a covalent bond is formed and the atoms stay together.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five8When the nucleus–electron attractions (blue arrows) are greater than the nucleus–nucleus and electron–electron repulsions (red arrows), the result is a net attractive force that holds the atoms together to form a molecule.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five9►Covalent bond formation in H2 can be visualized by imagining that the two spherical 1s atomic orbitals blend together and overlap to give an egg-shaped molecular orbital. ►Both atoms share the two valence electrons and the stability of the closed shell electron configuration. ►The shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond can be represented as a line between atoms.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five10►If atoms are too far apart, attractions are weak and no bonding occurs. ►If atoms are too close, strong repulsions occur. ►When atoms are optimally separated, the energy is at a minimum. ►The distance between nuclei at this minimum energy point is called the bond length.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five11A graph of potential energy versus internuclear distance for the H2 molecule.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five12►An individual Cl atom has 7 valence electrons. 6 of these are paired and the 7th is unpaired.►When two Cl atoms approach each other, the unpaired 3p electrons are shared by both atoms in a covalent bond. ►Each Cl atom in the molecule now “owns” six outer-shell electrons and “shares” two more, giving each a valence shell octet like that of the noble gas Ar.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five13►Bond formation in Cl2 can also be pictured as the overlap of the two 3p atomic orbitals containing the single unpaired electrons.► The molecular orbital formed creates a region of high electron density between the two nuclei.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five14►In addition to H2 and Cl2, five other elements always exist as diatomic (two-atom) molecules. ►N2 and O2 are colorless, odorless, nontoxic gases. F2 is a pale yellow, highly reactive gas; Br2 is a dark red, toxic liquid; and I2 is a violet, crystalline solid.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five155.2 Covalent Bonds and the Periodic Table►Covalent bonds can form between unlike atoms making possible a vast number of molecular compounds: compounds that consist of molecules rather than ions.► Water molecules consist of two hydrogen atoms joined by covalent bonds to an oxygen atom, ammonia molecules consist of three hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a nitrogen atom, and methane molecules consist of four hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a carbon atom.Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.Chapter Five16Note that in all these examples, each atom shares enough electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration: two electrons for hydrogen, and
