Basic Concepts of Chemical Bonding 105 Chapter 8. Basic Concepts of Chemical Bonding Common Student Misconceptions • Students often think that a triple bond is three times as strong as a single bond. The fact that the second and third bonds (π bonds) are weaker than the first (σ bond) needs to be emphasized. • Students confuse formal charges with real charges on atoms. • The only place the ↔ arrow is used is for resonance; students often want to use this to indicate equilibrium. • Students do not appreciate that the exceptions to the octet rule are almost as common as the examples of substances that obey it. • Students often confuse the octet rule with having any 8 valence electrons (e.g., 4s2 3d6 for iron). • Students often think that all polar substances conduct electricity. Teaching Tips • Students need to be able to count the number of valence electrons in order to get the correct Lewis structure. • Students need to be reminded that several correct Lewis structures can be often drawn for a molecule or an ion, but not all correct Lewis structures are equally good. Lecture Outline 8.1 Lewis Symbols and the Octet Rule1,2,3 • The properties of many materials can be understood in terms of their microscopic properties. • Microscopic properties of molecules include: • the connectivity between atoms and • the 3-D shape of the molecule. • When atoms or ions are strongly attracted to one another, we say that there is a chemical bond between them. • In chemical bonds, electrons are shared or transferred between atoms. • Types of chemical bonds include: • ionic bonds (electrostatic forces that hold ions together, e.g., NaCl); • covalent bonds (result from sharing electrons between atoms, e.g., Cl2); • metallic bonds (refers to metal nuclei floating in a sea of electrons, e.g., Na). • The electrons involved in bonding are called valence electrons. • Valence electrons are found in the incomplete, outermost shell of an atom. • As a pictorial understanding of where the electrons are in an atom, we represent the electrons as dots around the symbol for the element. • The number of valence electrons available for bonding are indicated by unpaired dots. • These symbols are called Lewis symbols or Lewis electron-dot symbols. • We generally place the electrons on four sides of a square around the element’s symbol. 1 “The Chemical Bond as an Atomic Tug-of-War” from Further Readings 2 “Chlorine” 3-D Model from Instructor’s Resource CD/DVD 3 “Phosphorus” 3-D Model from Instructor’s Resource CD/DVD Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. 106 Chapter 8 The Octet Rule4 • Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons until they are surrounded by eight valence electrons; this is known as the octet rule. • An octet consists of full s and p subshells. • We know that ns2np6 is a noble gas configuration. • We assume that an atom is stable when surrounded by eight electrons (four electron pairs). FORWARD REFERENCES • The octet rule will be brought up again in Chapters 22 and 23 for main group nonmetals and metals, respectively, and in Chapter 24 for carbon. 8.2 Ionic Bonding5,6,7,8 • Consider the reaction between sodium and chlorine: Na(s) + ½ Cl2(g) Æ NaCl(s) ∆H°f = –410.9 kJ/mol • The reaction is violently exothermic. • We infer that the NaCl is more stable than its constituent elements. • Sodium has lost an electron to become Na+ and chlorine has gained the electron to become Cl–. • Note that Na+ has an Ne electron configuration and Cl– has an Ar configuration. • That is, both Na+ and Cl– have an octet of electrons. • NaCl forms a very regular structure in which each Na+ ion is surrounded by six Cl– ions. • Similarly, each Cl– ion is surrounded by six Na+ ions. • There is a regular arrangement of Na+ and Cl–. • Note that the ions are packed as closely as possible. • Ionic substances are often crystalline, brittle compounds with high melting points. Energetics of Ionic Bond Formation9,10,11 • The heat of formation of NaCl(s) is exothermic: Na(s) + ½ Cl2(g) Æ NaCl(s) ∆H°f = –410.9 kJ/mol • Separation of the NaCl into sodium and chloride ions is endothermic: NaCl(s) Æ Na+ (g) + Cl–(g) ∆H° = +788 kJ/mol • The energy required to separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into gaseous ions is called the lattice energy, ∆Hlattice. • Lattice energy depends on the charge on the ions and the size of the ions. • The stability of the ionic compound comes from the attraction between ions of unlike charge. • The specific relationship is given by Coulomb’s equation: Q1Q2 E = k d • where E is the potential energy of the two interacting charged particles, Q1 and Q2 are the charges on the particles, d is the distance between their centers, and k is a constant: k = 8.99 × 109 J-m/C2.

  • Nobel Lecture, 8 December 1981 by ROALD HOFFMANN Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y
    BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Nobel lecture, 8 December 1981 by ROALD HOFFMANN Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853 R. B. Woodward, a supreme patterner of chaos, was one of my teachers. I dedicate this lecture to him, for it is our collaboration on orbital symmetry conservation, the electronic factors which govern the course of chemical reac- tions, which is recognized by half of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. From Woodward I learned much: the significance of the experimental stimulus to theory, the craft of constructing explanations, the importance of aesthetics in science. I will try to show you how these characteristics of chemical theory may be applied to the construction of conceptual bridges between inorganic and organic chemistry. FRAGMENTS Chains, rings, substituents - those are the building blocks of the marvelous edifice of modern organic chemistry. Any hydrocarbon may be constructed on paper from methyl groups, CH 3, methylenes, CH 2, methynes, CH, and carbon atoms, C. By substitution and the introduction of heteroatoms all of the skeletons and functional groupings imaginable, from ethane to tetrodotoxin, may be obtained. The last thirty years have witnessed a remarkable renaissance of inorganic chemistry, and the particular flowering of the field of transition metal organo- metallic chemistry. Scheme 1 shows a selection of some of the simpler creations of the laboratory in this rich and ever-growing field. Structures l-3 illustrate at a glance one remarkable feature of transition metal fragments. Here are three iron tricarbonyl complexes of organic moie- ties - cyclobutadiene, trimethylenemethane, an enol, hydroxybutadiene - which on their own would have little kinetic or thermodynamic stability.

  • Chapter 4, Lesson 5: Energy Levels, Electrons, and Ionic Bonding
    Chapter 4, Lesson 5: Energy Levels, Electrons, and Ionic Bonding Key Concepts • The attractions between the protons and electrons of atoms can cause an electron to move completely from one atom to the other. • When an atom loses or gains an electron, it is called an ion. • The atom that loses an electron becomes a positive ion. • The atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion. • A positive and negative ion attract each other and form an ionic bond. Summary Students will look at animations and make drawings of the ionic bonding of sodium chloride (NaCl). Students will see that both ionic and covalent bonding start with the attractions of pro- tons and electrons between different atoms. But in ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from one atom to the other and not shared like in covalent bonding. Students will use Styrofoam balls to make models of the ionic bonding in sodium chloride (salt). Objective Students will be able to explain the process of the formation of ions and ionic bonds. Evaluation The activity sheet will serve as the “Evaluate” component of each 5-E lesson plan. The activity sheets are formative assessments of student progress and understanding. A more formal summa- tive assessment is included at the end of each chapter. Safety Be sure you and the students wear properly fitting goggles.

  • Chemical Forces Understanding the Relative Melting/Boiling Points of Two
    Chapter 8 – Chemical Forces Understanding the relative melting/boiling points of two substances requires an understanding of the forces acting between molecules of those substances. These intermolecular forces are important for many additional reasons. For example, solubility and vapor pressure are governed by intermolecular forces. The same factors that give rise to intermolecular forces (e.g. bond polarity) can also have a profound impact on chemical reactivity. Chemical Forces Internuclear Distances and Atomic Radii There are four general methods of discussing interatomic distances: van der Waal’s, ionic, covalent, and metallic radii. We will discuss the first three in this section. Each has a unique perspective of the nature of the interaction between interacting atoms/ions. Van der Waal's Radii - half the distance between two nuclei of the same element in the solid state not chemically bonded together (e.g. solid noble gases). In general, the distance of separation between adjacent atoms (not bound together) in the solid state should be the sum of their van der Waal’s radii. F F van der Waal's radii F F Ionic Radii – Ionic radii were discussed in Chapter 4 and you should go back and review that now. One further thing is worth mentioning here. Evidence that bonding really exists and is attractive can be seen in ionic radii. For all simple ionic compounds, the ions attain noble gas configurations (e.g. in NaCl the Na+ ion is isoelectronic to neon and the Cl- ion is isoelectronic to argon). For the sodium chloride example just given, van der Waal’s radii would predict (Table 8.1, p.

  • Identification of a Simplest Hypervalent Hydrogen Fluoride
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Identification of a Simplest Hypervalent Hydrogen Fluoride Anion in Solid Argon Received: 19 December 2016 Meng-Chen Liu1, Hui-Fen Chen2, Chih-Hao Chin1, Tzu-Ping Huang1, Yu-Jung Chen3 & Yu-Jong Accepted: 18 April 2017 Wu1,4 Published: xx xx xxxx Hypervalent molecules are one of the exceptions to the octet rule. Bonding in most hypervalent molecules is well rationalized by the Rundle–Pimentel model (three-center four-electron bond), and high ionic bonding between the ligands and the central atom is essential for stabilizing hypervalent molecules. Here, we produced one of the simplest hypervalent anions, HF−, which is known to deviate from the Rundle–Pimentel model, and identified its ro-vibrational features. High-levelab inito calculations reveal that its bond dissociation energy is comparable to that of dihalides, as supported by secondary photolysis experiments with irradiation at various wavelengths. The charge distribution analysis suggested that the F atom of HF− is negative and hypervalent and the bonding is more covalent than ionic. The octet rule indicates that atoms of the main group elements tend to gain or lose electrons in order to have eight electrons in their valence shells1, 2, similar to the electronic configuration of the noble gases. Therefore, to attain this fully filled electronic configuration, atoms combine to form molecules by sharing their valence electrons to form chemical bonds. This rule is especially applicable to the period 2 and 3 elements. Most molecules are formed by following this rule and the bonding structure of molecules can be easily recognized by using Lewis electron dot diagrams.

  • The Different Types of Bonds Atoms Form Bonds with Other Atoms in Order to Have a Full Outer Shell of Electrons Like the Noble Gases
    Reading- The Different Types of Bonds Atoms form bonds with other atoms in order to have a full outer shell of electrons like the noble gases. If an atom has too few or too many valence electrons it will have to gain, lose, or share those outer electrons with another atom in order to become “happy” or in chemistry terms, more stable. There are many types of chemical bonds that can form, however the 3 main types are: ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. You must become familiar with how they work and the differences between the 3 types. I. Ionic bonding: Model 1 is a description of what chemists call ionic bonding. Ionic bonding occurs strictly between metal and nonmetal atoms. In ionic bonding some of the valence electrons of a metal atom are transferred to a nonmetal atom so that each atom ends up with a noble gas configuration. Usually one, two, or three electrons are transferred from one atom to another. This transfer of an electron causes the metal atom to have a net positive charge (+) and the nonmetal atom to have a net negative charge (-). The individual atoms in ionic solids are referred to as ions because of their charges. These opposite charges are attracted to one another. On the right is a drawing of a chunk of salt, NaCl, a very common ionic substance. Notice how the sodium and chloride ions alternate throughout the structure. The positive and negative ions alternating in three dimensions make the solid quite strong because of their strong attractions to one another.

  • 13 Intermolecular Forces, Liquids, and Solids
    13Intermolecular Forces, Liquids, and Solids The four types of solids Intermolecular Forces of Attraction • Ch 12 was all about gases… particles that don’t attract each other. Intermolecular Forces of Attraction • Ch 13 is about liquids and solids… where the attraction between particles allows the formation of solids and liquids. Intermolecular Forces of Attraction • These attractions are called “intermolcular forces of attractions” or IMF’s for short. • Intermolcular forces vs intramolecular forces Four Solids – Overview • Molecular Solids (particles with IMF’s) • Metals (metallic bonding) • Ionic Solids (ionic bonding) • Covalent Network Solids (covalent bonding) Molecular Solids • Molecules or noble gases (individual particles) Molecular Solid Examples • H O 2 • C2H5OH • CO2 • C6H12O6 • CH 4 • The alkanes, alkenes, etc. • NH 3 • The diatomic molecules • NO 2 • The noble gases • CO • C2H6 Metals • A lattice of positive ions in a “sea of electrons” • Metal atoms have low electronegativity Metal Examples • Pb • Brass (Cu + Zn) • Ag • Bronze (Cu + Sn) • Au • Stainless Steel (Fe/Cr/C) • Cu • Zn • Fe Ionic Solids • A lattice of positive and negative ions Ionic Solid Examples • NaCl • CaCl2 • KCl • MgSO4 • KI • Fe2O3 • FeCl3 • AgNO3 • CaCO3 • + ion & - ion Covalent Network Solids • Crystal held together with covalent bonds Covalent Network Solid Examples • C(diamond) • C(graphite) • SiO2 (quartz, sand, glass) • SiC • Si • WC • BN Properties of Metals Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. They are shiny and lustrous. Metals can be pounded into thin sheets (malleable) and drawn into wires (ductile). Metals do not hold onto their valence electrons very well. They have low electronegativity.

Molecular geometries, frequencies, atomic charges, electrostatic potentials, energy and electron densities, Mayer bond orders, local stretching force constants, and bond strength orders (BSOs) were derived from high accuracy CCSD(T) calculations and utilized to compare the strength and nature of hypervalent bonds with other types of bonds. All hypervalent molecules studied in this work were found to be either first-order transition states or unstable to dissociation, − − with F3 and OF3 as the only exceptions. For several systems, we found that a weak noncovalent bonded complex is more stable than a hypervalent one, due to the high energetic cost to accommodate an extra ligand, which can surpass the stability gained by 3c−4e bonding. 29−31 ■ INTRODUCTION (SN2).
