The Covalent Chemical Bond (9.3) FIG I ‒ Potential Energy Change to Form H2
What is a chemical bond?
Why do chemical bonds occur?
Descriptions of bonding: Valence Bond Theory (Chapter 11.1 – 11.2, Carey)
molecule - collection of atoms with localized bonds between pairs of atoms bonds formed by overlap of atomic orbitals on adjacent atoms (constructive interference of wave
functions) orbitals refined by hybridization
Molecular Orbital Theory (Chapter 11.3, Carey, Morrison and Boyd) molecule - collection of nuclei valence electrons occupy molecular orbitals that extend over entire molecule molecular orbitals formed from a combination of atomic orbitals
11.1 - Valence Bond (VB)Theory and Orbital Hybridization 1. Lewis structures (based on valence electrons)
octet rule bonding, lone pairs single, double, triple bonds formal charges: (FC = GN ‒ # lone electrons ‒ 1/2 # bonding electrons) resonance structures valence shell expansion (only ≥ 3rd period when more than four atoms are attached to a cen-
tral atom or a formal charge separation exists) electron deficient atoms: Be - 4; B, Al - 6
2. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory repulsions: BP/BP < BP/LP < LP/LP number of electron pairs (steric number) => electronic geometry molecular geometry (shape) => bond angles, distortions electronegativity => bond polarity molecular polarity => dipole moment
3. Bonding (based on atomic orbitals of valence electrons) overlap of atomic orbitals on adjacent atoms when necessary, hybridize orbitals
- 2 - Valence Bond Theory: Orbital Overlap as a Chemical Bond (11.1)
obtain orbitals from atomic electron configuration of valence electrons bond = overlap (constructive interference) of atomic orbitals on adjacent atoms two electrons of opposite spin can occupy the overlapped orbital "singly" connected bond is a sigma (σ) bond ‒ it freely rotates without breaking the bond

11.2 – Modes of Orbital Overlap and the Types of Covalent Bonds
bond = overlap of orbitals on adjacent atoms when necessary, hybridize orbitals procedure:
draw Lewis structures with all resonance structures use VSEPR to determine geometries assign bonds based upon electron configuration of each atom if unable (or incorrect) => hybridize valence atomic orbitals, usually
SN = 2 => sp SN = 5 => sp3d SN = 3 => sp2 SN = 6 => sp3d 2 SN = 4 => sp3
put electrons in hybrid orbitals following Hund's rule overlap (constructive interference) atomic and/or hybrid orbitals to form bonds
