Only the valence electrons are shown in Lewis dot-line structures.(2) The number of valence electrons is equal to the group number of the element for the representative elements.(3) For atoms the first four dots are displayed around the four “sides” of the symbol for the atom.(4) If there are more than four electrons, the dots are paired with those already present until an octet is achieved.(5) Ionic compounds are produced by complete transfer of an electron from one atom to another.(6) Covalent compounds are produced by sharing of one or more pairs of electrons by two atoms.The valence capacity of an atom is the atom’s ability to form bonds with other atoms. The more bonds the higher the valence.The valence of an atom is not fixed, but some atoms have typical valences which are most common:Carbon: valence of 4Nitrogen: valence of 3 (neutral molecules) or 4 (cations)Oxygen: valence of 2 (neutral molecules) or 3 (cations)Fluorine: valence of 1(neutral molecules) or 2 (cations)Covalent bonding and Lewis structures(1) Covalent bonds are formed from sharing of electrons by two atoms.(2) Molecules possess only covalent bonds.(3) The bedrock rule for writing Lewis structures for the first full row of the periodic table is the octet rule for C, N, O and F: C, N, O and F atoms are always surrounded by eight valence electrons.(4) For hydrogen atoms, the doublet rule is applied: H atoms are surrounded by two valence electrons.3.4Covalent Bonds and LewisStructures•In 1916 G. N. Lewis proposed that atomscombine in order to achieve a more stableelectron configuration.•Maximum stability results when an atomis isoelectronic with a noble gas.•An electron pair that is shared between two atoms constitutes a covalent bond.The Lewis Model of Chemical BondingThe Lewis Model of Chemical BondingCovalent Bonding in H2Covalent Bonding in H2HH..HH..Two hydrogen atoms, each with 1 electron,Two hydrogen atoms, each with 1 electron,can share those electrons in a covalent bond.can share those electrons in a covalent bond.HH ::HH•Sharing the electron pair gives each hydrogen an electron configuration analogous to helium.Covalent Bonding in F2Covalent Bonding in F2Two fluorine atoms, each with 7 valence electrons,Two fluorine atoms, each with 7 valence electrons,can share those electrons in a covalent bond.can share those electrons in a covalent bond.•Sharing the electron pair gives each fluorine an electron configuration analogous to neon.........FF..FF..::::........FF::FF::::................The Octet RuleThe Octet Rule•The octet rule is the most useful in cases involving covalent bonds to C, N, O, and F.FF::FF::::................In forming compounds, atoms gain, lose, or In forming compounds, atoms gain, lose, or share electrons to give a stable electron share electrons to give a stable electron configuration characterized by 8 valence configuration characterized by 8 valence electrons.electrons.ExampleExampleExampleExampleCC........FF::..........Combine carbon (4 valence electrons) andCombine carbon (4 valence electrons) andfour fluorines (7 valence electrons each)four fluorines (7 valence electrons each)to write a Lewis structure for CFto write a Lewis structure for CF44..::FF::........CC::FF::........::FF::........::FF::........The
