Week 4 The Molecule and Bonding
Once we understand how molecules are formed, we can manipulate them. If you can manipulate molecules, you can manipulate genes and matter, you can synthesize new material - the implications are just unbelievable.
Ahmed Zewali (1946 - ?)
Plan of Study
• Review of the Atom & the Periodic Table
• The Molecule
– Ionic Bonds
– Covalent Bonds
• Simple Chemical Structures
What We Learned About the (Bohr) Atom
• Atoms are the smallest unit of an element • Elements are different due to the mass of their atoms
– The mass is mostly in the nucleus – The nucleus is the home of positive and neutral particles
• Negatively charged electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits
• Atoms are have no charge so the number of electrons (-) and protons (+) are equal
• The chemical properties of each element is determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits of its atoms
The Orbital Shells
• Electrons
– Outside of the Nucleus
– Occupy discrete areas/energy levels - “shells”
• 4 types of shells (s, p, d, h)
– Negative charge (-)
– “Light” (5.486 x 10-4 u)
– Responsible for chemical bonding
– Can move between nuclei to form ions
• Ion is an atom that has more or fewer electrons than protons
The Ion
•Note that the LOSS of an negatively (-) charged electron makes the resulting ion positive (+) •Ions with a positive charge are called cations •Ions with a negative charge are called anions
The Periodic Table • Horizontal Rows are called Periods
– Left to Right • Mass increases slowly
• Properties change – metals → metalloids → non-metals → Nobel gasses
• Vertical Columns are called Groups – Top to Bottom
• Mass increases rapidly
• Properties remain similar – Alkali Metals (Li, Na, K, etc.) – highly reactive – form 1+ ions
– Alkaline Earth Metals (Be, Mg, Ca, etc.) – very reactive – form 2+ ions
– Halogens (F, Cl, Br, etc.) – low boiling temperatures – form 1- ions
– Noble Gasses (He, Ne, Ar, etc.) – Very unreactive – form NO ions
The Octet Principle
• Gilbert Lewis (1875 - 1949)
– American
– “In chemical compounds, atoms tend to have the electron configuration of a noble gas.”
– Coined “The Rule of 8” • There are 8 valence electrons in
most atoms in chemical compounds
– Nominated 35 times for a Nobel Prize
The Octet Principal
• Noble Gasses have a “Full” outer shell
– 8 electrons in 4 pairs
• Except H and He which have an outer shell of 2 electrons
– Outer electrons called Valence Electrons
Lewis Dot Structure of Ne
Opposites Attract
• Ionic Bonding
– Is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds. (Wikipedia)
Opposites Attract
• Ionic Bonding
Mg + Cl + Cl → Mg2++ Cl- + Cl- → MgClCl
Mg + 2Cl → Mg2++ 2Cl- → MgCl2
Opposites Attract
• Ionic Bonding Examples – Sodium bromide - NaBr
– Potassium Chloride – KCl
– Calcium Chloride – CaCl2
– Magnesium Oxide – MgO
• Metals to Nonmetals
Sharing is Caring
• Covalent Bonding Examples – Hydrogen Cloride – HCl
– Oxygen Dihydroxide – H20
– Methane - CH4
• Nonmetals to Nonmetals
Electronegativity
If the difference is between 0.0 and 0.4 → non-polar covalent bond If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.7 → polar covalent bond If the difference is > 1.7 → ionic bond
Pauling’s Teeter Totter
A B
If two atoms have equal electronegativity • both have the same desire to attract the bonding pair of electrons • electrons will be found on average half way between the atoms • Covalent Bond
Pauling’s Teeter Totter
Aδ+ Bδ-
If two atoms have slightly different electronegativity • one atom (B) will have more desire to attract the bonding pair of electrons • electrons will be found on average closer to the more electronegative atom • Polar Covalent Bond
Pauling’s Teeter Totter
A+ B-
If two atoms have highly different electronegativity • one atom (B) will have a lot more desire to attract the bonding pair of electrons • electrons will be found on average very close to the more electronegative atom • Ionic Bond
Electronegativity Increases Across a Period
If the difference is between 0.0 and 0.4 → non-polar covalent bond If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.7 → polar covalent bond If the difference is > 1.7 → ionic bond
Patterns of Electronegativity
• Factors that explain electronegativity
– The number of protons in the nucleus
• More positively charged protons – Na vs. Cl
» Na has 11 protons
» Cl has 17 protons
Electronegativity Decreases Down a Group
If the difference is between 0.0 and 0.4 → non-polar covalent bond If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.7 → polar covalent bond If the difference is > 1.7 → ionic bond
Patterns of Electronegativity
• Factors that explain electronegativity
– The “shielding” by the electrons in closer shells
• More negatively charged electrons in the way – F vs. Cl
» F has 9 protons shielded by 2 electrons
» Cl has 17 protons shielded by 10 electrons
Polar Bonds and Polar Molecules
• Bar Magnet
– One end (pole) is attractive to positive charges
– Other end (pole) is attractive to negative charges

The Atom & Dead White Men
• Joseph John Thomson (1856 – 1940)
– England
– Discovered the first sub-atomic particle, the Corpuscles (Electron) • About 1,840 times lighter than
Hydrogen
• Always the same
• Negatively charged
– Won the Nobel Prize 1906
Polar Bonds and Polar Molecules
– Cl2
– Cl has an electronegativity of 3.0
– Cl has an electronegativity of 3.0 • So bond is Non-Polar Covalent
– Electrons and charge are equally distributed around the molecule
– Molecule is Nonpolar
Polar Bonds and Polar Molecules
• Carbon Tetrachloride
– CCl4
– Cl has an electronegativity of 3.0
– C has an electronegativity of 2.5
• So bonds are Polar Covalent
– Partial charge is equally distributed around the molecule
– Molecule is Nonpolar
Polar Bonds and Polar Molecules
• Chloroform
– CHCl3
– Cl has an electronegativity of 3.0
– C has an electronegativity of 2.5
– H has an electronegativity of 2.1
• So all bonds are Polar Covalent
– Partial charge is NOT equally distributed around the molecule
– Molecule is Polar
Carbon Dioxide • CO2
– One Carbon
• 4 valence electrons
– Two Oxygen
• 6 valence electrons
– Total valence electrons
• 4 + (6 x 2) = 16
Hydrogen Cyanide • HCN
• One Carbon – 4 valence electrons
• One Hydrogen – 1 valence electron Ḣ
• One Nitrogen – 5 valence electrons
• Total valence electrons – 4 + 1 + 5 = 10
