SCH3U Chemical Bonding
Ionic vs. Covalent Compounds
Ms. Yusuf
Formation of BondsChemical Bonds are formed between two atoms using shared valence electrons; this is the force that holds atoms together in compounds.
Valence Electrons are the electrons that occupies the outermost energy level of an atom

Type of Bonds
Ionic vs. Covalent Ionic bonding occurs between metals and non-metals Covalent bonding occurs between non-metalsNote: Bonding between metals is called Metallic bonding
Video Clip: Chemical Bonding
Octet RuleMost Noble gasses have 8 electrons in their outer shell. This is a stable conformation. Thus, the noble gasses do not react with other elements. In other words, noble gasses are very stable.
Octet Rule (Continued)
When atoms form ions or combine in compounds they obtain electron configurations of the nearest noble gas (eight electrons in their valence shells)
Ionic BondingIonic Bonds are formed from the electrostatic attraction of positive and negative ions
An atom that can lose an electron to become a positively charged ion, called a cation
An atom can gain electrons to become a negatively charged ion, called an anion
•In each case, the atom attains a noble gas configuration with its valence electrons. •A noble gas configuration is defined as a completely filled outer shell, like the noble gases.

Examples of Ionic Bonding using Lewis Structures
Magnesium and Fluorine Calcium and Oxygen Potassium and Sulfur
Covalent Bonding
Covalent bonding occurs between two non-metals. Covalent bonding is different from ionic bonding because electrons are shared instead of transferred.
Each atom has eight shared electrons
Covalent Bonding: Example (H and F)
H F HF
Covalent Bonding Using Lewis Structures
Silicon Oxygen Hydrogen and chlorine Bromine and Bromine
Elements will not share the electrons in a bond equally
•The electronegativity (EN) of an element determines its ability to attract electrons in a bond•When elements are bonded together, the more electronegative element attracts the electrons
Example: HF•Flourine is more electronegative.•The electrons in the bond are attracted towards the fluorine atom
Polar Bond (Dipole Moment)
ENH = 2.1 ENF = 4.0
∆EN H-F = 4.0 - 2.1 = 1.9
(Continued) This is not a complete transfer of an electron from hydrogen to
fluorine; it is merely a drifting of electrons toward fluorine
When a charge separation of this type is present, the molecule possesses an electric dipole, so called “dipole moment” and the bond is called a POLAR COVALENT BOND

Polar Covalent Covalent
Polar Covalent Compound
0.5 < Electronegativity difference < 1.7
This difference is great enough for the bonding electron pair to spend more time near the more electronegative atom than the less electronegative atom.
(Continued)
Example: Water (H2O)∆EN = 1.24 (which is between 0.5 and 1.7)
Polar Covalent BondOxygen = a slightly negative chargeHydrogen = a slightly positive chargeSince the hydrogen does not completely transfer its
electron to the oxygen, the their respective charges are indicated as + (the indication of partial positive charge) and - (indication of partial Negative charge).

Summary
Chemical Bonds are formed between the atoms in molecules
The bonds are formed from the valence electrons of the atoms and the resulting bond allows each atom to achieve a noble gas configuration (the most stable arrangement of electrons around the atom: Octet Rule)
The types of bonding can be classified as:1. Covalent (non-metal bondin; 0<∆EN<0.5)
2. Polar covalent bonds (non-metal bonding with a dipole moment; 0.5<∆EN<1.7)
3. Ionic (metals + non-metals; 1.7 <∆EN< 3.3)
