Octet Rule

• Octet Rule: the tendency for atoms to seek 8 electrons in their outer shells– Natural electron configuration of the Noble

Gases– Done by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons– Increases stability– H and He seek a “Duet”

Ionic Bonding• Ions: atoms that have a charge due to gain or loss of

electrons– Anion: (-) charged atom– Cation: (+) charged atom

• Ionic Bond: a bond formed through the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom or group of atoms to another atom or group of atoms

Formula Unit

Lewis Dot Structures1) Count the total number of valence electrons in the

molecule. Ex: PCl3

2) Use atomic symbols to draw a proposed structure with shared pairs of electrons.• Atoms don’t tend to bond to other atoms of the same

element when they can avoid it• Exception: Carbon

3) Place lone pair electrons around each (except H) to satisfy the octet rule, beginning with the terminal atoms

4) Place any leftover electrons on the central atom5) If the number of electrons around the central atom is less

than 8, change single bonds to the central atom to multiple bonds (double or triple).• Ex: CH2O

1)Cl2O

2)C2H4

3)C2H6O

Electronegativity• The measure of the ability of an atom to

attract electrons to itself– Increases across period (left to right) and– Decreases down group (top to bottom)– fluorine is the most electronegative element– francium is the least electronegative element

Electronegativity Scale

Types of Bonding

1) Non-Polar Covalent Bond:• Difference in electronegativity

values of atoms is 0.0 – 0.4• Electrons in molecule are

equally shared• Examples: Cl2, H2, CH4

ENCl = 3.03.0 - 3.0 = 0

Pure Covalent

2) Polar Covalent Bond:• Difference in

electronegativity values of atoms is 0.4 – 2.0

• Electrons in the molecule are not equally shared

• The atom with the higher EN value pulls the electron cloud towards itself

• Partial charges• Examples: HCl, ClF, NO

ENCl = 3.0ENH = 2.1

3.0 – 2.1 = 0.9Polar Covalent

3) Ionic Bond: • Difference in EN

above 2.0• Complete transfer of

electron(s)• Whole charges

ENCl = 3.0ENNa = 1.0

3.0 – 0.9 = 2.1Ionic

Problems

• Predict the type of bonding in the following compounds using differences in EN values of the atoms. Indicate the direction of the dipole moment if applicable

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory

• VSEPR theory:– Electrons repel each other– Electrons arrange in a

molecule themselves so as to be as far apart as possible

• Minimize repulsion• Determines molecular

geometry

Defining Molecular Shape• Electron pair geometry: the geometrical

arrangement of electron groups around a central atom– Look at all bonding and non-bonding e-’s

• Molecular Geometry: the geometrical arrangement of atoms around a central atom– Ignore lone pair electrons

• 2 e- groups surrounding the central atom– e- pair geometry: linear– MG: linear– AXE designation: AX2E0

• A: Central Atom• X: Bonding pairs• E: Non-bonding pairs

– Example: BeCl2

3 e- groups• 3 Bonds, 0 Lone Pairs

– e- PG: Trigonal Planar (Triangular planar)

– MG: Trigonal Planar– AX3E0

– BF3

• 2 Bonds, 1 Lone Pair– e- PG: Trigonal Planar

(Triangular planar)– MG: Bent/angular– AX2E1

– GeCl2

4 e- groups• 4 bonds, 0 Lone Pairs

– e- PG: Tetrahedral– MG: Tetrahedral– AX4E0

– CH4

• 3 bonds, 1 Lone Pair– e- PG: Tetrahedral– MG: Triangular Pyramidal– AX3E1

– NH3

• 2 bonds, 2 Lone Pairs– e- PG: Tetrahedral– MG: Bent/Angular– AX2E2
