Lecture 15 - Introduction Lecture 15 - Introduction

So far we have focused primarily on ionic compounds Today we will start looking in more detail at compounds that • Which combine with non are held together by covalent bonds. metals • We have encountered some examples already • Are held together by the electrostatic attractions of cations with anions - - - Polyatomic ions

Lecture 15 - The Formation of the Lecture 15 - The Formation of the Covalent Bond

Covalent compounds form when elements share , Example: H2 • This usually occurs between . • The covalent bond that forms between two to the formation a diatomic of H2.

11 12 Lecture 15 - Naming Binary Covalent Lecture 15 - Naming Binary Covalent Compounds Compounds We will focus first on the that have only carbon- carbon single bonds. • This group of molecules is called . • Alkanes can be straight-chained or branched-chained • The names for alkanes all end with the ending -ane.

Which of the following models represent compounds having Covalent bonds form when the nuclei of one is attracted the same empirical formula? to the electrons of another. • And the attraction is mutual.

Lecture 15 - The Covalent Bond Model Lecture 15 - The Covalent Bond Model

Covalent bonding leads to a greater density between Like , covalent bonds form as a way of giving the atoms each atom 8 electrons (except hydrogen, which only • In a covalent bond, electrons from two atoms are shared. wants 2 valence electrons). • There are rules to how covalent bonds form. • Instead of accomplishing this by one atom giving its electrons to the other, as occurs in ionic bonding • The two atoms involved in a covalent bond “share” electrons pairs, - Each atom counts those electrons as part of its valence shell.

21 22

Lecture 15 - The Covalent Bond Model Lecture 15 - The Covalent Bond Model

Lewis dot structures are useful for showing this: If sharing just one pair of electrons is insufficient to meet the needs of each atom participating in a covalent bond, then additional pairs of electrons can be shared. • The leads to the formation of double and triple bonds.

The (or enthalpy) The is the • It is he energy needed to overcome the force of attraction distance between the nuclei of between two atoms participating in a covalent bond. the the two atoms participating - It is also the energy released when a covalent bond is formed. in a covalent bond. • For example, the bond energy of a H-H bond is 432 kJ/mol

H (g) + H (g) H2 (g) !H = – 432!kJ/mol

H2 (g) H (g) + H (g) !H = + 432!kJ/mol
